Weekly Recap & The Week Ahead

Since I am working hard on keeping my nutrition on point, I thought that this year, I would try to share weekly recaps of my progress and what's to come!

Starting on January 3rd, I began a cleanse to pair with my sugar detox.

These products can be found on my Shop RNR page

From Sunday to Saturday, I drank three 12 oz glasses of water first thing in the morning, each with their own corresponding supplement. This on top of my clean food plan assisted in me loosing a total of 5 pounds. These products can be found on my Shop RNR page. It will link you up with Arbonne.

Here are a few of my favorite clean-eating meals that I also had this week.

Waffles do not need sugary syrups on top. My gluten free, no sugar added waffles are topped with salsa, avocado, and cheese then broiled for a minute. Delicious!!!

You can see the full list of my food plan for this last week here and get links to where I pulled them from!

I also remained true to the Yoga Camp Challenge, posting a time-lapse video every day to hold myself accountable.

I also ran 3 days this week. Though the goal was 4 days, I was having some hip issues at the beginning of the week which prompted a rest day. But I was able to kick major ass on yesterday's run.

When you're supposed to only run "4 or 5 miles." Back to double digits!!!

It has been about a month since I have been in the double digits. I went out with the intention of running 4 or 5 miles, but since I feel great, I thought I may as well go where my body could take me! I was so proud and felt so healthy & energetic. No doubt from eating well and keeping it sober this weekend.

That's right! I went alcohol free and kept my liquids to water, coffee and tea this week (obviously all without any sugar or creamers!).

It wasn't as difficult as I thought, but saying no to alcohol really helped me keep my weekend snacking under control! This weekend, I will allow drinking, but it will only be bold wines with little residual sugars. Weekends only!!!

Anyway, to keep a visual track of my progress, I took pictures on January 1st and compared it to today.

From no sugar, a week long cleanse, no drinking, and running 3-4 times a week. Down 5 pounds! #eatclean #sugardetox #beforeandafter But if I'm honest, this is not the "skinny" I want to be. I want the pudge that I lost to be replaced by muscle. I want to regain that 5 pounds back in strength. Today begins my modified P90X3 journey! #trainhard #p90x3 #beachbody #absaremadeinthekitchen #beachbodiesaremadeinthewinter
