Day 31

Today is my 31st day doing my 90 day challenge. It has been very extreme and rewarding. I have been following a life changing diet that I just love while doing a very intense workout 5 days a week. During my workout there are 3 days of weight lifting that is extreme and two days of cardio and abs. I had days when I couldn't work out but made up for them during my scheduled days off. The diet is easing but cuts out bread and sugar. By the end of my 30 days, I allowed myself some leeway and added a little treat now and then. My metabolism has gone up so it didn't hurt my weight loss. I feel great. I have more energy, I feel a lot stronger and more confident in how I look. I was able to go down a pant size and even my shoes are more loose. I have a long way to go. I was at 199 and now I'm at 188. I've lost 11 pounds in just 30 days and 6 inches off my waist. The next 30 days are more intense and people who have already completed this phase have had dramatic results, so I'm stoked to see how it works for me. I have been able to go up in the pounds that I lift because we do less reps but heavier weights. I'm still drinking my shakeology every day. It helps to break down the fat and gives me the energy I need to get through my days.

Getting ready for school

I've been looking at different sites to see what to use in the fall for Kindergarten. Colton will be 5 in June so its time. I think if I stick to only Kindergarten he is going to get bored. Of course there are things he still doesn't know how to do so he can go fully into 1st grade. He still can't write out the alphabet or his numbers. We have just started working on these though. He does however know how to read his alphabet and his numbers. He can even read and spell most 3 letter words and some 4 letter ones. He can count to 100 and can count by 10's to 60. He's working on counting by 2's. He can also count backwards from 20. He can do simple addition, knows all his shapes and even the parallelogram and all his colors. The only thing he can't really do for first grade is write. Does anyone have any suggestions???

Week Two Is Over

I have been doing intense weight training with ChaLean Extreme for two weeks now. Tomorrow I will start week 3. I am so excited. I have lost 6 inches off my waist so far and 7 pounds. My husband has said that he can see my figure again already. I love hearing that. I have to be honest with all of you, it is not easy. It is super hard when you have an addiction to food. And yes, I believe I have an addiction. I know that I can have self control and yet for so many years I chose not too. Now I am learning to eat healthier, with really yummy recipes. And to eat satisfied. Yes, I still crave certain things like a deep fried chicken sandwich from Red Robin or Onion rings, but I know that I can overcome these cravings and save them for when I have reached my goal weight and then have it every once in a while in moderation. Working out has also taught me to be on a schedule. I know that sounds weird, but when I work out in the mornings I have more energy to schedule activities for my kids and to do my work for CEF that I've committed two hours a day to. I also have started to get up even earlier (10 minutes) to do my Bible study. Before I would do it in a rush during the afternoon with interruption. I still do some of it in the afternoon, but I'm working my way to waking up 30 minutes earlier so I can spent that precious time with my Lord. This means getting up at 4:50 in the morning. Please pray for me to be able to do this.
If you need motivation or someone to just be accountable to let me know. I would love to be there for you. If you need a workout or want to know more about Shakeology you can go to my websites, www.teambeachbody.com/janicekrieger or www.shakeology.com/janicekrieger
