We all have our vices. For some people its alcohol...for some its chocolate...for some its wine...for some its all of the above! I am a coffee lover... there I said it! Are you happy now?!
A cup of warm coffee in the morning brings such comfort and happiness to me. It is like the world stands still, I am the only person awake (this is clearly and obviously untrue), and I have a feeling that I can take on the world!...
Then I hit traffic going into work.... sigh....
You may be wondering what this blog is about tonight. I will not bore you with my love for coffee...

I have reached the 2 Week Mark for my clean eating and fitness journey. Boy, did those 2 weeks go fast! Oddly and surprisingly enough, this journey has been pretty easy so far (the eating part... the workouts kick my ass). This eating plan ( 3 meals, 2 snacks; lots of lean protein, veggies and Shakeology...ohhh and I am allowed endless amounts of black coffee) provides enough NUTRITIOUS energy to keep me going all day! Not once have I felt like I was going to faint or pass out ("Well I don't eat anything, and when I am about to faint, I eat a cube of cheese"....Devil Wears Prade joke...NAILED IT!) My body just feels better because there is nothing but clean fuel going into it. It is a pretty addictive feeling. Food just tastes better now. My taste buds go wild over sweet potatoes now. Since I can not have much sugar (2 servings of fruit a day), the sweet potatoes taste even sweeter. I am telling you what, sweet potato is like a dessert to me now..but better!
I exercise 6 days-a-week with the Piyo workout plan (Beachbody). The workouts are approximately 30 minutes each. I workout right when I get home (There is better success rates for those who stick to schedules) These Piyo workouts are specifically designed to push my body's limits and to really, REALLY work my muscles by strengthening and stretching them. And they fit perfectly with the eating plan. My body's flexibility is getting better and better.
I posted Day 1 vs Day 14 results in a photo yesterday. I can already see a difference! But I am no where close to wear I want my body to be.
I am absolutely in love with the process so far. I feel dedicated and empowered. I went out to eat with my husband and did not cheat (so long Max n Erma's Tortilla soup). I am keenly aware of what an appropriate and healthy portion should look like. I am training my mind to see what a correct portion is so that I will not over eat in the future.
I can not express how inspired I am to talk to you guys through face-2-face conversations, Facebook messages, Facebook comments and texts. It makes so me crazy happy to hear your support, or how I am inspiring you to change for a more healthier lifestyle!!!
