This man is gorgeous and ripped!! I finally got myself to under 30% body fast 28.5% to be exact with 23lbs of excess fat to lose and I was totally over cardio so I went what the heck, let's lift!! I mean come on Marilyn Monroe lifted!! why can't I? I loved Chalean Extreme but body beast is so much more than that!! it's CRAZY heavy lifting! You don't get a body like that without working for it !!<br />
<br />
Right now I'm on day 5 of the program Currently I'm in the Build Phase! Which last 3 weeks then I go to Bulk which last 5 weeks and then Beast which is another 4 weeks. The total program is 12 weeks or 83 days with 6 days of working out and 1 rest day!<br />

I am so very very sore but I feel like a BEAST already!!

It was an very amazing invigorating experience. I learned a lot and I'll be using that here to quite a bit. One of the things I've decided to do is blog about my journey through Focus T25 Shaun T's new program that's sure to shake up and revolutionize fitness. It's insane as in Insanity insane but short and I'm really looking forward to it.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Going to summit gave us a chance to try T25 before it's even availing on the marker. Right now you're only able to get it through your beachbody coach. So I'll be on here posting all the nitty gritty as I got through everything. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">To start things off my hubby and I hit the store up to shop. We have relatively stocked kitchen so we spend just under $100 at our Trader Joe's to pick up ingredients to jump start this week. To be fair there were a few items in this grocery list that weren't for this weeks meals like bread, guacamole etc, we're putting together the 1st days of meals and this I'm starting with the Focus T25 Fast Track I'll spend the 1st 5 days eating around 1,100 calories in addition to my Shakeology. OMG I should mention they now have Vanilla!! I'll be ordering that pronto I tried it at summit and it was DELICOUS! </span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Well anyway, I'm off to go make my 1st days meals. Did I forget to mention the recipes are 5 items or less (sans items like vinegar, salt pepper, and EVOO) and they're supposed to take 5 minutes or less to prepare!! Hello one of my number one issues is my lack of time so if this is legit, then I'll not have any more excuses to make!! Talk about accountability ! </span><br />

Today I did the Insanity Fit Test...no really here's proof. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha1swQQ8eikbkt8zP3yAR-5PGF_Qd51oevsmrr8AySVXdEkBZms8PUY8rGBfkl3Bg_HbaDnVhVsBuDfaex-rxmAD9eQE4E0KgpFgBh2XCjEM3gLVj3MEUT4bZ7Vxsjy2OOTFkSc-IcnA/s1600/2502_685376158834_1416753913_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha1swQQ8eikbkt8zP3yAR-5PGF_Qd51oevsmrr8AySVXdEkBZms8PUY8rGBfkl3Bg_HbaDnVhVsBuDfaex-rxmAD9eQE4E0KgpFgBh2XCjEM3gLVj3MEUT4bZ7Vxsjy2OOTFkSc-IcnA/s400/2502_685376158834_1416753913_n.jpg" width="400" /> </a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">Sure it's true I could have just written down some random numbers, but that's wouldn't be half as cool as actually doing it!! I'm determined to make this happen for me and that includes following the eating plan. I keep look at these people who get this AMAZING results from the Beachbody programs and I'm like what the heck I can do that...can't I? I mean come on I gotta be able to do that! So I picked Insanity be the one program I commit 100% to, and don't slack on. Why?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">1. My husband will suffer thought it with me</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">2. It's only 60 days vs the traditional 90 day program</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">3. The meal plan isn't insanely difficult</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">4. The program is insanely hard and well recognized. I want the street cred of saying I finished Insanity and the results to go with it</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">5. It's on my bucket list.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #8e7cc3;">The other thing I'm doing is the couch to 10k app with hopes of completing the Richmond Half Marathon in November. I have other runs lined up alone the journey but it all begins with this app. I was thinking how much further along on this fitness journey can I do if I stop screwing around and get real? I dunno but let's find out!! </span></div>

So...I'm doing just that.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #8e7cc3;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">I made a fitness buck list,. and now I'm posting in...and slowly but surely I'm going ot knock items off this list. I'm not planning on tackling all these items in a year, but a few per year would be great, it would show that I'm progressing, and that I'm try to change! </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #8e7cc3;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">Here's the list! </span></span><br />

<span style="color: purple;">Bodybuggs and Fitbits...</span></h3>
<h3 style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="color: purple;"> </span></h3>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Well to start things off let's talk about some devices that can be extremely helpful on your weight loss journey. There are heaps of gadgets available to help you meet your goals. In my opinion, however, there are only two main contenders.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmjxMtSkkOamYnKUOIvRkyCULnf_-iBxNrBO3A19f5ksY55S-8IAhHIFaKLRkVL77G7AoylsI2UvjR_AgYkksZxAz3jzc7ZHnyA2Ho0LkrgjZWL2yvZ1XoYAuoNoTzKYllrxdrOAOiQQ/s1600/bit1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="217" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmjxMtSkkOamYnKUOIvRkyCULnf_-iBxNrBO3A19f5ksY55S-8IAhHIFaKLRkVL77G7AoylsI2UvjR_AgYkksZxAz3jzc7ZHnyA2Ho0LkrgjZWL2yvZ1XoYAuoNoTzKYllrxdrOAOiQQ/s320/bit1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>

<div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>

<div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
2. The bodybugg (or Bodymediafit)</div>
<div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<h4 style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
Similarities : </h4>
<ul style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<li><span style="background-color: white; color: purple;">Both of these items are going to count your calories.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; color: purple;">They are going to count your steps</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; color: purple;">They both have websites that let you set goals</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; color: purple;">They monitor your sleep</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; color: purple;"> Both sync with MyFitnessPal</span></li>
</ul>
<h4>
<span style="background-color: white; color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Differences :</span></span></h4>
<h4 style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Bodybug:</span></h4>
<div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="background-color: white;">The bodybugg or body media fit is </span> the only FDA-certified medical device. It tracks movement, skin temperature,
heat dissipation, and perspiration levels into an algorithm to give steps taken, sleep efficiency that's about 95% accurate, and gets more accurate as you continue to wear it. </div>
<div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
Detractors: </div>
<ul style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<li>it's $6.95 a month to keep is accurate, and there's not display on the device so you either have to activate the bluetooth and use the app on your android or iPhone to check your daily progress or..you have to plug your bugg into your computer. </li>
<li>it's worn on your arm so unless you want to tell everyone about what it is you have to wear sleeves long enough to cover it up.</li>
</ul>
<ul style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<li>It's more accurate in my opinion having worn them at the the same time. </li>
</ul>
<div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<h4 style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
Fitbit</h4>
<div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
This little guy only uses an accelerometer and an altimeter, to track your calories burned, steps taken, stairs
climbed, and even how well you've slept.It also your movements at night to compare the time you're lying down
versus the time you were asleep. </div>
<div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
Detractors:</div>
<ul style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<li>You have the move the Fitbit to your wrist and wear this armband to monitor your sleep..and you have to push a button to start and stop the sleep monitoring process. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The fitbit is cheaper over all, and it's more discreet as it's worn on your pocket in between your bra</span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">. Also fitbit has a display right on the device. </span></li>
</ul>
<div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I could go on and on about the pros and cons of each of these devices but really it's up to you...I have both so...I use both. I prefer my bodybugg. but when I want to monitor my calories and wear a sleeveless dress or short sleeves I clip my fit bit on and go. I think that bodybugg has an edge of fit bit on accuracy. I think the fitbit has a better overall interface, and is a bit more fun giving you stairs climbed and more. Honestly you can't go wrong with either and....these are just a piece of the puzzle. You've got to make them work for you! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Set your goals with either device, and meet them! Having a device like this lets you become really specific about your goals. You know what you can afford to eat cause you're getting a general idea of what you burn and Calories in Calories out is most of the battle...but we all knows it's not that simple. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I use Myfitnesspal to keep me accurate, but you can to be honest about every lick, bite, and nibble. I have not been as accurate as I should have been, so now that I have the opportunity I'm buckling down and seeing what happens. I've got about 20 or so pounds left to go until I've reached "goal weight" but I know that I want to look become a bikini or figure competitor so I'll have a long way to go after that....</span><br />

<br /></div>
<h3 style="color: purple; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Fitness Friday: What's your Battle plan?</span></h3>
<h4 style="color: purple;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> How are you going to battle the winter holiday bulge </span></h4>
<div style="color: purple;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It's Friday...it's getting colder and that's normally a reason to sit around and gain weight. The holidays are coming and there's even more of chance to pack on the pounds....so what's a girl who wants to shrink, not grow to do?</span></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I've set myself on a path for success, and I have a goal in mind: to end the winter hibernation slimmer than I was when I started. </span></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I'm one week into my Chalean Extreme/Turbo Fire Hybrid. A 140 day program (I know that's a lot) that I'll finish this Spring to help me accomplish my goal!! </span></div>
<div style="color: purple;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Why have I chosen this program? </span><br />
<ol>
<li><span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Chealean Extreme is a weight lifting program mixed with cardio intervals. This type of program is great for someone like me who build muscle easily, however this program is just as great for someone who doesn't have a lot of muscle and wants to gain it some (read toned).</span></li>
<li><span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Turbo fire is an intense cardio program which is great for increasing cardiovascular endurance. It's also got these killer HIIT workouts which are also killer fat burning workouts (noticing a theme here). These workouts will get you hot, sweaty, and lean (read toned)</span></li>
<li><span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Doing these programs together gives you a powerhouse workout combination of strength training and cardio. You're sure to see you body change with the one folks!!</span></li>
<li><span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Weight lifting helps slim you down, you might not notice the pounds melting away but pull out your tape measure...or use an pair of jeans that are too tight and keep trying them on every couple of weeks.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Cardio helps keep your heart healthy and it will also help you lose weight!! Don't be too much of a scale watcher because you can lost fat and gain muscle (a good thing) without using weight on the scale.</span></li>
</ol>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br /><span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I strongly suggest grabbing a set of calipers, or having a local gym or fitness center that tests body fat percentage and getting that done...it's amazing how much more of a gauge for proper fitness that it is!! </span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I'll be posting monthly photos to show my progress as well as taking my measurements and getting my body fat percentage done. </span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">My goals for this program:</span><br />
<ol>
<li><span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Lost at least 5-6% body fat so that means I'd like to be around 21-23% when I finish this</span></li>
<li><span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Have all of my measurements add up to less than 195" right now they add up to about 208" when all together. </span></li>
<li><span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I'd like to see my waist specifically drop at least 5 of those inches</span></li>
<li><span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Comfortably wear a size 8 in my normal stores right now I wear around a size 10 in most of them.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I don't have a weight goal...I have an idea of where I'd like my weight to be, but I will not make that a goal</span></li>
</ol>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Bonus: I'd like to be able to run a 5k...which means I have to start running...this will probably be the hardest goal of all!!</span><span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><br /><span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Have a fabulous Fitness Friday and make it amazing!! Do something fun try rock climbing, or try some hot yoga. Give pole dancing a whirl, or hit up a kick boxing class....you don't have to workout at home...but you gotta get moving....</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Sometimes you just need something a little sweet...we all have those days right? Well when I get that need for something sweet I like to try to do a little damage control so I can have my cake and eat it to...what's a girl to do?</span></div>
<div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My hubby requested this Tasty Tuesday dessert...which I made yesterday. Feeling a little from the recent passing of his grandmother he wanted me to make the dessert she'd make for him, a fruit pizza. I felt this worked perfectly for a dessert that while not healthy, still a healthful alternative. </span></div>
<div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I love this dessert cause it's got your sweet, and it's definitely a treat, but you can also get some fruit in there and with the portion size built in my cutting it into 12 pieces you can enjoy it without worry. </span></div>
<div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: large;">CAUTION: Don't eat the whole pie...though you made me tempted too!!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">1) the prongs are meant to help emphasize your lash line. You use the tips to dot in between your lashes to fill in the gaps and make your lashes look fuller and darker.It also help to fill in your lash line if your missing a few lashes, or they look sparse. This baby fixes that. </span></div>

This technique sounds scarier than it its. You're literally doing the equivalent to lining your water line (your bottom lash line) on the top. This brush draws a super skinny line that dries really quickly and again emphasizes your lash line.</span></div>

You take the line and starting on the side draw that same skinny line you did when you tight lined. Then you roll it so that the fattest part is against your lid and keep drawing. you want the line to start small and get gradually thicker towards the corner of your lid. This tip also makes cat eyes a dream! Bonus the inky liquid liner is super deep carbon black so one coat is all you need!! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">My next obsession took me a while to bite the bullet on because I couldn't wrap my head about the cost!! $32 for a lip gloss is a hefty price tag. I noticed that I was "demoing" this product whenever I walked into Sephora so I eventually caved and gave it a whirl. What am I rambling on about? <a href="http://www.yslbeautyus.com/makeup/makeup,default,sc.html?cm_mmc=LabeliumSearch-_-Google-_-Makeup-_-ysl%20cosmetics&gclid=CInI47PBzrICFUje4AodMVAAng">Yves Saint Laurent's</a> Glossy Stain.

<span style="font-size: large;">First of all you have 20 shades to choose from, so you'll find the one for you!! It's like a hybrid between a gloss and a stain. The reason I was willing to drop $32 on it? I've tested it several times and it's stays super shiny, but not sticky for hours. It will last through dinner or drinking your morning coffee with barely a stain on the mug. You can kiss your hubby without leaving evidence. The fact that you don't have to reapply all the time means that you can also save yourself money in the long run...(or at least this is how I've justified it) </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I picked this jewel up in No. 5 Rouge Vintage. That means Antique Red for those non French speakers and this color is true to it's name. It stains your lips a nice deep red (read: not fire engine) that's totally wearable during the day, but also super sexy. When I want a super red lip (for me) I layer this with my other obsession <a href="http://www.hourglasscosmetics.com/">Hourglass Costmetics</a> Opaque Rouge in it's oh so vampy color Icon. On it's on this lip color dries with a truly stunning matte finish that last for hours and hours. Icon is an exclusive color only available at Sephora. </span></div>

<ol style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<li><span style="font-size: small;">It's totally delicious..like really really delicious</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">You can lighten it up as much as you please (fat free tortillas, non fat sour cream, of Greek yogurt , fat free cheese etc)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">It's inexpensive, and most of the ingredients are already in your house</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">You can eat it more than once (for my family of two this meal can be lunch and dinner for a couple of days)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">It's not filled with mystery ingredients</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">You don't have to guess at the serving size it's on enchilada (built in portion control) </span></li>

<div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><b>Ingredients:</b></span></div>
<div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">10 soft taco shells (any variety you choose)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">2 Tbsp. Corn Starch</span></div>
<div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">2 cups </span><span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD11" style="font-size: small;">chicken broth</span></div>
<div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD11" style="font-size: small;"> (I use low sodium and poach my chicken in it before hand)</span></div>
<div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">1 Clove of Minced Garlic</span></div>

<div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: small;"><b>How to make it:</b></span></div>
<div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"> Preheat oven to 350 </span><span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD6" style="font-size: small;">degrees</span><span style="font-size: small;">. Grease a 9×13 pan.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;">In a medium size bowl mix – chicken, 1 cup of cheese, garlic – roll mixture into tortillas and place into pan.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;">In a sauce pan – melt the butter and stir in corn starch and cook for one </span><span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD3" style="font-size: small;">minute</span><span style="font-size: small;">.
Add broth and whisk until smooth. Keep over heat until it bubbles and
becomes thick. Stir in sour cream, chopped Jalapenos, cumin, onion
powder, garlic powder, lime, salt and pepper. Do not let it boil.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Pour mixture over enchiladas and top with the last cup of cheese.</span></div>
<div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: left;">
<span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD12" style="font-size: small;">Bake</span><span style="font-size: small;"> for 25 min – You will want to make sure the cheese has browned.</span></div>
<div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Nutrition info per enchilada: 343 calories, 15g fat 374g sodium 27g carbs 1g fiber 25g protein</span></div>

<div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Do NOT skip the cornstarch it's a totally necessary ingredient and you will be sorry if you skip it!!</span></div>
<div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I prefer to eat this with nothing more than a nice side salad as it's got everything else that I need to make it a great meal option. I like to keep my dinners to no more than 400-500 calories depending. My husband eats about double the calories so he might eat 2 enchiladas, or add a side of rice to make his calories higher.</span></div>
<div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">I find that the tortilla shells I use from Trader Joe's are a bit too big to stuff 10 enchiladas into one pan so I break it up and do one big on and smaller one which makes freezing some to go easier. </span></div>
<div style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">You can individually package and freeze these for your own DIY frozen meals and serve with a size of rice. </span></div>

<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I've been trying so many things I dunno what was the catalyst that got it started so I'll just keep trying everything as long as it works then switch to something new.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The plateau I'm talking about? I dropped about 8lb. that's a big deal for me. The only time I've been this skinny I was sucking down 800-1,000k of GM food (if you can call it food) and paying about $300-400 to do it. This program was called Medifast and honestly I won't say too much bad about it cause it did help me lost 30lbs. I know some people loved it and it works great, but after a time I just couldn't do it anymore. I wanted to eat real food again.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So lately I've been working out a lot, and have become a total Beachbody convert!! I've been doing Turbo Fire which is amazing and did really great things for me!! </span></span><br />

<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">and just switched to RevAbs. I switched to this one so hubby and I could workout together cause the TF choreography is a bit too much for him!!</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I've been eating about 1300 calories (on purpose, as allowed by my meal plan) but making sure my macros are great, and upping my protein. My general rule of thumb is that I like to eat at least 1 gram of protein per pound of muscle plus a little extra. I am a huge fan of adding muscle and burning fat. I have a more athletic build and will not be able to be 115lb...what I'll be instead is 155lb, wearing a size 6 with 135lb of muscle...this it totally possible!! </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Currently I am extremely sore from all those dumbbell lunges so I will be making a date with my foam roller tonight! I love to hate that thing. It hurts but it really helps!! Rumble rollers come in two sizes one that fits great in a suitcase at just 12" and a full size one of 30"</span></span><br />

<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> This liner has a felt tip pen applicator that I love cause it doesn't have any little hairs to get separated and mess up your whole look. It makes the whole cat eye look a breeze and comes in some really great colors.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> This has to be some of the best liner I've encouraged and I really like makeup and I love to test out new stuff. I like it more than my Kat VonD Tattoo liner!! </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Kat VonD still have a place in my heart for the fact that is has 3 different tips for different liner looks which is great if you are makeup challenged or just being lazy!! </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">I started my journey Last March after getting my wedding photos and hated what I saw... my happiest day was ruined by how horrible I looked in my photos...well to me at least.

Well enough was enough. I got off my but and got my numbers...and then decided to drop some weight!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I started out at about 41% body fat. I'm at last count at 30.5%.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I was squeezing into 36 band size down to a 34.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Thighs 27inches now 23</span></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">My waist went from 40" to around 35" at last check</span></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Hips were 47" now about 43"</span></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">My jeans were a 14/16 now an 8/10</span></span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Weight 207/7-181.2 and counting.... </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">My dear friend and coach Erin Frick helped me discover Turbo Jam and I really put my heart into and started dropping some major weight...it felt so amazing....embarrassing photos to follow... but it shows my shrinking back and arm fat!!</span></span><br />
