It's time to INTENSIFY the FAT LOSS. We are now 4 weeks away from Le Paris & The Beautiful Tuscany, which you know means lots of yummy pastries, crepes, pasta and wine!
OH MY GOSH..........YES...........Michelle does eat that and CAN eat that! I just don't do it often, but Europe is definitely the time I am going to do it.
I always get this reaction from people if they see me eat something "bad".....like....... "You eat that"? One day a client invited me to his wife's baby shower. There were appetizers being passed around and as I gently grabbed a napkin and a quiche, my client SCREAMED across the room "Michelle, you are going to eat that? You will put that in your mouth? Kim Herring, he was so cute, he thought I NEVER EVER ate anything bad. Seriously, I am human, trainers are human, and we indulge just like you do, were just moderate about it.
Well I decided that I was going to work my ass off for 8 weeks and get in the best possible shape so that I could #1 Indulge in Europe without feeling guilty as well as getting ready for baby #2.
So there you go, that's my motivation! What is yours? It's so much easier to stay on track when you have a SPECIFIC GOAL SET! Come on......set a goal with me and join me in my last 4 weeks of HARD CORE.
Monday, we started our new Nutrition Plan and I started a new program. We are now alternating 2 Protein Days/Fire Days with 1 Optimal Day/Fuel Day. It's not really harder it just requires a bit more planning, because it seems a bit easier to grab snacks and meals on a Fuel Day and a bit harder on Fire Days. So here is what I did.
On Sunday, I made more Spinach Turkey Meatballs and a batch of Veggie Quiches. That will take care of my snacks on Fire Days. I also have left over Maple Cinnamon Bars for my Optimal/Fuel Days for snacks. Then I roasted a ton of vegetables so I am set for the week. When I planned my menu I made sure that I made enough food to have plenty of left overs for other meals and snacks. So the Nutrition plan is under control!

My poor hubby, when I asked him today if he needed me to get him something from the grocery store he said "YES, 2 2-Liter bottles of Coke". My poor hubby he's having soda withdrawals. He tells me every day how many bottles of water he drank. How cute is that?
Anyhow, we are both on track and feeling good.
