Just wanted to give you a quick update on the cleanse I did for three days…..I am down a total of 4 pounds. YEAH!!! It really gave me the kick-start I needed after getting over my grief to hit the gym HARD.
My workout yesterday consisted of 20 minutes of cardio followed by a Back and Biceps weight training session and then closing with another 20 minutes of cardio on the treadmill. The workout I followed can be found here.
I tend to mix up my workouts every 4-6 weeks so my muscles do not get used to the same exercises or weight. My go to website for all things fitness is Bodybuilding.com. Don’t let the name fool you, there is something for everyone from beginners to pros. They have free “pick a plan” workouts. You enter your gender, age range, and goal and they give you the workout programs that meet that criteria. Each program gives you the nutrition to follow, recommended supplements, and workouts. The workouts can be printed out and used as a written log you can take to the gym.
When I first started to lift weights (which is essential for building lean, toned muscles) I used the Jamie Eason LiveFit Trainer program. I loved it and was very happy with the results I got. I love that they also have videos for all the given exercise so you don’t feel completely lost when you go to the gym and learn the proper form. I am not a paid spokesperson I just love and use that site A LOT!! 🙂 Check it out, you won’t be sorry!

I recently purchased a necklace from Bits of Splendor and I am so in love with it!! Her shop can be found here.
You can even customize it with your initial. I am just in love with Anchors and anchor print fabric lately. I think it is a reminder to me to stay grounded, stay strong and not to get swept away in the little things. This necklace fit the bill and will be a new staple in my everyday jewelry rotation.
*I bought this necklace with my own money and am not being paid for my opinion. I just love to find and share businesses that I truly love and shop at myself.*
