Hi guys!
I’ve been looking forward to this update, mainly because it’s the FIRST actual update:) If you missed last week’s post, you can check it out here. Let me start off by saying thank you for all of the support I’ve gotten from Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, and my Blog. You have no idea how much your words and your own experiences inspire me to strive for my goals.
Now let’s get to the results shall we?

First I have to point out that I have NO idea why the top half of my body is so much darker/red?!? It’s the strangest thing ever! Oh well!
I don’t think the changes are that visible yet but I’m glad I’m doing these. It’s keeping me accountable. Just the thought of having to take pictures in my sports bra, let alone WORKOUT in it, keeps me away from eating the things I shouldn’t!
Workouts
On point! I’ve been following my workout log all week. My active rest days are when I instruct my Boot Camps and my FULL on rest day is Saturday. Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday is when I do my harder/go all out workouts. I love how my week is split up:)
Eats
- Protein, protein, protein. I’ve increased my protein intake. Making sure I have it in the morning, lunch and dinner which kept my hunger at bay
- 6 small meals/day as opposed to 3 big meals.
- I eat when I’m hungry – there’s no point to wait until noon to eat if you’re hungry at 11am!
- Stopped mindless snacking, if I’m not hungry I won’t go to the pantry!
How I feel
Amazing – I keep feeling stronger day after day and getting more comfortable with my body (which is always a good thing). Although you can’t see it in these pictures, my shoulders have squared off a LOT more as well, which brings a smile to my face!! I simply feel good in my body - I feel healthy, strong and confident.
I KNOW I can do this – hard work, dedication, perseverance…I got this.
Weeks Down: 1
Weeks to Go: 8
Week 2…Bring it!
Much Love,
Jess
