I'm down 3.4 lbs!!!
Hi everyone!
So good news to report. On Saturday I weighed myself and I was down 3.4 lbs! Woohoo!
I worked hard for those 3.4 lbs! Granted my diet was pretty decent too, at least 90% clean so I'm pretty happy with myself with that too. While my son was eating self-serve fro-yo (my weakness) I didn't flinch. I might have cried a little internally but I know when I hit my goal I'll allow myself to have treats. You only get one life after all and I'm not going to deprive myself from things I enjoy. What fun is that? I do, however, enjoy seeing that scale going down and excited to continue my journey to inspire others to get healthy and fit. Hoping for another big week today! Rocked out 3 days in a row with Les Mills Combat. I cannot say enough good things about this. If you want to feel like a warrior and kick your way to a new body to club music, you have GOT to try this. You can actually get it very reasonably on the Beachbody site - click on one of my banner ads and get some more info. You will NOT be disappointed!
Anyway, it's 11pm on a Monday and I'm beat from a very crazy day at work today so I'm making this very brief. I will for sure post longer tomorrow!
Keep pushing on... I'm thinking of starting a challenge group for fitness and weight loss to start mid-July. Let me know if you're interested. Looking for 5-10 women to rock it out with me. Let's do it together!

My "Rest" Day!
Evening everyone!
Well, today was supposed to be my "rest" day according to my workout calendar for Les Mills Combat. I almost felt guilty resting so instead I decided to hop on my treadmill for 20 minutes. Gotta keep on moving. No rest days for me, I'll always try to stay active and get some type of cardio in on rest days since I sit at a desk all day and am pretty sedentary.
Diet going really well. Resisted the urge to buy dark chocolate covered nuts yesterday and opted for veggie chips. Today I took my son for fro-yo (my weakness with carob chips and chocolate sprinkles) and watched his little face enjoy it.
I hear 80% is diet so as long as I stay on this path, I'm progressing toward my fitness (and other) goals.
Tomorrow for throwback Thursday, I'll be sure to post some of my photos during my awkward stage...which really took place from about 6-20. :)
Off to bed I go, on the grind again tomorrow. Tomorrow is Plyo - doesn't sound good from what I remember from P90X!

Day Three - Les Mills Combat COMPLETE!
Hi everyone!
Just got done rocking a 45 minute combat workout! This, after a LONNNNG day. Drove out to Lancaster to meet up with the parents, walked a lot, Parker swam in the pool, went on a buggy ride, then drove home. Completely exhausted and sunburned I contemplated throwing in the towel today and doing it tomorrow (my 1 of 2 rest days!) but I sucked it up and rocked it. That music is a godsend. Not to mention, Rach is totally motivational. I want to be her. Ok, that sounds creepy. I want to look like her. She's awesome. Keeps me motivated. Her and that modification girl that I sometimes need to follow when the jump kick is out of my spinal comfort zone.
Anyway it's 10:30 now and I'm beat. Need to get a few things done for work (the joy of taking a day off, trying to play catch up) and then pass out. Tomorrow should be a rest day per the calendar but that just feels wrong. So I'll probably hop on the treadmill for a 30 minute walk/run then do a little bit of weights.
Ohhh, we just got awesome news on the Beachbody team that Shakeology has been clinically verified to help people lose weight! Check out this video, it's awesome. This is the one thing that got me involved with this amazing company. The fact that this one shake starts my whole day off right and gets me the nutrition I need when I don't have time to get it from other meals. It's a busy mom's dream!! Check it out!
Shakeology!!
If you're interested in trying it, send me an email: CourtneyShaneLove@gmail.com or find me on Facebook - would love for you to follow my page there too :) I'll send you a free sample if you sign up with me as my coach and hey, if you even place an order I'll send you a FREE shaker :)
Leaving you with this for the night. Be Happy. Be Bright. Be You.

I'm not a morning person.
Never have been, never will be. It's 10am and while my child and husband have been up since 6:45 and probably 5:45 respectively, I just rolled out of bed. Whoops.
That's why I'll never workout in the morning, I know it won't happen. Over the years I've tried to force myself to get up, unshowered (yuck) and try to bang out a workout. Again, that will NEVER happen. There's something about waking up after a long sleep with my hair all disheveled and feeling dirty and no coffee. No thanks. Give me 7pm any day and I'll rock it out.
I'm sore. Like really sore. I woke up and was scared to get up for fear last night's workout killed my back. Perhaps that's the reason why I stayed in bed so late. (shhh.) But besides being sore, no signs of back pain (knocks on imaginary wood.)
Tonight is a 45 minute one so that will be a bit challenging for me today but we'll get it done! Interested in seeing what type of music they included on this one!
Looks like a beautiful day out there, hope you all will enjoy your Sunday Funday! :) What's everyone up to today?
Ohh, took my body fat today with our special body fat machine... 25.9% and BMI 24.4. I just looked it up and I'm between good and fair "for my age." For my age? No thanks, let's get that body fat under 20% please.
The good news is, I can only go down from there right???
Have a wonderful day!! Make it count!

Holy Les Mills Combat!
We'll that was intense. And awesome. And man, I love kick boxing! What an amazing workout! Channels my inner rage. Ha.
Although I jabbed myself in the face about three times (I'm learning) Hey, she said keep my other fist close. For some reason my other fist decided to move when it shouldn't.
And hey, why not a little Fall Out Boy for some combos haha. The electronic music was pretty sweet.
Hope my back holds out for this though, the only thing that's scaring me. For those that don't know, last July I herniated my disc so bad that it sat on a nerve and I wasn't able to walk for almost three months until I finally had surgery. Then I walked right out of there pain free. Until I reherniated it 4 months later. It was a trying time in my life last year and another story for another post.
Blessed to be walking now and able to do this, just can't push my limits.
Off to find a healthy snack! Hope you got your healthy eating in for the day and an awesome workout!
xoxo,
Court
