Week 2 of Paleo Challenge

Alrighty here I am on week 2 of this paleo challenge and I'm surprisingly loving it! I'm down 5 pounds since we started plus there are other medical benefits I am seeing. First off my gastroparesis has almost disappeared! Secondly my hypoglycemia has been more than under control. On top of that I just feel better all around and I think my workouts have improved as well! I feel stronger and more energized.I am also doing the intermittent fasting along with it and I think that has really helped and surprisingly not messed up my hypoglycemia. I usually fast anywhere from 16-24 hours a day. I eat around 2 meals each day as well. Of course with my work schedule that is a little odd. Oh well I like the results I am seeing so far!

Paleo Time!

Hey All! Sorry I haven't written in forever but with school and everything i barely had time to breath! Well here it goes...I'm still doing P90X and CrossFit. I drink one Shakeology a day and I'm now doing the Paleo Diet! It started through a challenge put up by CrossFit! I'm excited to start it and look forward to seeing some really awesome results! Since April I have lost 20 pounds and couldn't be more happy about it! This Paleo diet is very interesting...its basically a low carb diet focusing on eating fresh foods and you can also have fruit! I'm finding it a little tough to get both workouts in some days but I'm trying my best. I have a little less than 3 weeks til vacation! Well off to make my paleo friendly dinner then hopefully getting a workout in!

Hump day!

Today started my three day shakeology cleanse! I woke up this morning and went to the crossfit workout. It was 21-15-9 of thrusters (55#) and pull ups (jumping x2). I finished at 12:55 seconds. It was an average time and I increased my thrusters weight by 30 pounds. Wel also did a 800 m run and a 5 station circuit at 2 minutes at each station. It included farmers carry (50# in each arm), row, 20# ball slams, 90pound sled, and 8# sledge hammers. It was an exhausting workout! I had my shakeology with just milk and the powder for breakfast. Lunch I screwed up and got a lite lunch at Carlos with only 530 calories. Tip of the day! Put hot sauce on everything! It boosts your metabolism! I plan on getting back on the true shakeology cleanse tomorrow! I have P90X tonight with AbRipperX! I love that workout! Also drink your water it's the bests diuretic!

Doubles Day!

Three days a week I double my workouts. CrossFit in the mornings and P90X at night! This is one of those days! Went to CrossFit at 5 AM and did a strength workout. 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 of deadlifts (115 pounds) and lateral hop jumps (weight bar). I finished in 7:22. I could have lifted more for my deadlift. After we worked on pull ups and double unders! Those are my weeknesses. For breakfast I ate an egg white omelet with veggies and ham and whole wheat toast with no jelly. Oh and I also had a cup of coffee cause I'm addicted! For lunch I had a Santa Fe Wrap...eggs, jalapeno cream cheese, fiesta salsa and pepperjack cheese. yummy! I was suppose to workout at the Y with my BeachBody team but the instructor was sick so we all went home and did our P90X Plyometrics workout. I did most of the reps and was exhausted by the end. After a hot bath to relax my muscles I had my Chocolate Shakeology with milk, ice, and peanut butter. Tomorrow I start what is called the three day shakeology cleanse. I will have 3 shakes a day and at night I will have a salad with unlimited veggies, 4 oz of protein and oil based dressing! I'm so excited to "cleanse" my body!

Week 6

Hello all! This is my first posting on my new Fitness blog. I'm 20 years old, I have a fiance, 2 kids, a full time job, and full time school. I'm here to prove to you that you can live a healthy live style while carrying a busy schedule! Tonight I am starting week 6 of P90X. The workout tonight is Chest, Triceps, and Back with AbRipperX. I use the Shakeology drinks from BeachBody. I love them and think that they are the best meal replacement drinks I have ever tried. If you want more information on those just go to www.myshakeology.com/samlamb. I was always a yo-yo dieter and never really stuck to one fitness program. I dreaded working out and would often skip workouts. Ever since about January when I started a program called CrossFit I have fallen in love with working out! I don't mind getting up at 4 AM to go the the 5 AM class and I don't mind staying up til 11 or 12 to get in my P90X work out! I have researched many of the BeachBody workout programs and there is not one that I don't want try or that doesn't look like it would produce amazing results! No matter where you are on your road to fitness there is a BeachBody product for you!
