Body Fat %

While at the gym yesterday, my one day a week I actually get to go to the gym, I decided to sign up to have my body fat % taken. Curious about what this actually would entail they took me back to look at the machine. It's this little pod, almost like a one man space craft, with a bench in it. I'll sit in there and they'll fill it with water. Apparently the body fat % measurements come from the displacement of the water and other body measurements. I'm looking forward to having it done and then comparing the results after the 60 day challenge is over, but I'm not looking forward to the before number!
Like I mentioned before I only get to the gym one day a week, some weeks not even that. It's so hard to take 3 kids to the gym when there isn't an appropriate parent/child workout area. I have a babysitter (for the moment) come once a week so I can run errands and make it to the gym. Otherwise I do home workouts. I have found some great ones. I'm a picky person when it comes to my workouts from home given that I only have 15-20 minutes at a time before someone is trying to kill someone else, someone needs juice, has a dirty diaper, is waking up from a nap, or wants the movie changed! You other stay at home moms feel my pain! So here are a few of the SHORT/little space workouts I've found. By the way, I made up the titles to them.

Scissor kicks (same form but cross legs over each other when in the air)

The countdown has started!

Well this will be my second 60 day challenge. I thought I'd document it this time in case there were some really bored people out there that cared. I guess there might be a few curious people out there that haven't yet tried Nutritional cleansing and therefore haven't experienced the amazing benefits! Let this be your window into the healthy, energetic, fat melting, craziness it brings!

I will be kicking off this 60 day challenge on April 1st in preparation for summer. My goal is to bring down my percentage of body fat and be toned enough to feel comfortable in a bikini on my trip to Vegas in June. I'll be keeping you all posted on the steps I'll be going through to get ready for this journey, the workouts I will be doing, my weigh ins, my meals, and everything in between.

I have a facebook page dedicated to people who would like to join me on this journey. If you have thought about nutritional cleansing, but never been adventurous enough to try it, let this be your invitation! There is huge success in cleansing with groups! We will have prizes, giveaways, coaching, recipes, and workouts all there to help you succeed! Contact me for more info!!
