Reboot Your Life With Judy

OK -I really need to update more often -I am still losing a little weight -down another 4 lbs, however, when my accountability group stopped I fell off the exercise regime and the container way of eating/tracking my food and started back on some chips and chocolate. I really do need that accountability so if you are looking for a partner let me know. I am still drinking the Shakeology as a meal replacement once a day which is why I am still losing and started back up on the exercise yesterday as I have a whole pile of clothes that are now too big and I don't need them to come back into my closet.
I also find that the Fitbit helps me be aware of how much I am doing even if it doesn't seem to track my active minutes well. I am in a fitbit group now during the workweek so as long as I am not last I am good as some of these ladies are getting in 65000 steps in 5 days -I am ecstatic if I can get in 40,000 which is app 29km.
How are you all doing? Anyone found something that is working -a new health regime or product you like?

Update -crazy snowing here on the mountain and it's April!!
Have been pretty consistent with my workouts which I am proud about. I have not been tracking my containers and making sure I am eating the proper amounts but still drinking the Shakeology every day. Since Jan 29th I am down 12 lbs and 12.5" which I am happy about (not so much the losing weight but just that everything is getting looser on me and I can see some good muscle definition in my legs and arms).
So the new accountability group has started and we will be held accountable for sleep, eat, shakes, exercise and water which is exactly what I need right now.
I will be happier once I am busier with work again and if anyone wants to know about the Beachbody program and the 21 day fix extreme contact me as I would be happy to share more. :)
Here's to a healthy and productive week!

Wow -derailed but not defeated. I only have 2 days left of round 2 and not sure how I have done. Two weeks ago my Dad went into the hospital with blood clots in his lungs up in Bracebridge which gave us all a scare. I haven't had a close relationship with my Dad in years and I wasn't sure if I could make the time to drive up there. I am so glad that I did -and I got to spend a lot of time with my sister and my Aunt. I reconnected with my Dad and will for sure be communicating with him more.
Last week my kids both had the flu and they are still recovering but at their Dad's this week. Two trips to the hospital with my oldest including one overnight (such roomy accommodations for my 11 yr old and I -lol). So basically not enough sleep last week.
So I missed a few workouts, had a few stress desserts and didn't drink enough water.
However, I have finished a week of workouts so am going to start a new 21 day fix tomorrow (my app only holds 21 days and then has to restart).
Just take it one day at a time. Don't do as well as you hoped one day? Wake up the next day with a fresh start. :)

Started my new 21 day fix on Friday. Did my weight and measurements again from last week when I ended and down another 1.5 lbs and 1.5 inches. :) Had to miss a day last week so actually did Day 1 (plyo) today. Wednesday I worked a big moving job for 8 hrs and I walked 14.3 km and 70 flights of stairs (over 20K steps). Thought that I could skip the actual workout on that day as I was exhausted.
So this round, Adina has us in partners (actually 3 on my team) so now I not only have to be accountable to the group but also to my team members so no slipping up. Planning to make some meals tomorrow night to get me through the week as I still have lots of veggies in the fridge.
Does anyone else want to discuss what is working for them?

This is a great blog written by my coach. I definitely think fear is responsible for a lot of things in my life. It took me years to muster the strength to leave my unhappy marriage. My husband wasn't a bad guy. He just wasn't bringing it to the table, he was absent, emotionally and literally from our lives. I wanted more than I was getting so I made a change.
I have fears about my business as well. This is my third business I have had -going into my sixth year now (my daycare was six years and my gift basket business was 5 years). Although I don't need stock or space at home to be a Professional Organizer, what I do need is for people to know I am around. I need friends and clients to refer me. I need money to pay for advertising. I need to start blogging to be seen more on the web. Whenever I talk to a person older then me, inevitably they tell me, oh I had to help my parent downsize or I had to clear my parent(s) estate and it was brutal. I so would have used a service like yours if I knew about it. People need my services and as the population ages, my business will grow. I have to believe in myself and that if nothing else.
So why do I get fearful when I have a slow month? Why am I afraid to go to the places where seniors are and advertise?
I realized a few years ago that I had a I'm not good enough mentality built into my psyche. I am aware of that. I can get over it. I have a very supportive boyfriend and friends and colleagues which help me to realize that I am good enough. So now I just have to make that belief a reality to ME.
Same with healthy eating and exercise. I started last year and was on a good road -lost 20 lbs, started to get stronger. But it was hard doing it on my own. It was hard to believe that I was worth it. I knew I had to do it for my daughters and for my health but forgot my reason for doing it for ME. When I met my boyfriend in September I was so happy and he was fine w me the way I was so why bother changing?
I am now on my way to being the healthiest I have been my adult life. I know the strength is in me. I have the power to change. I am not doing this for my loved ones. I now have an amazing accountability coach and group. I am changing for ME and my wellbeing and with my newfound strength I know that myself, my business and my daughters will prosper. 💟

So happy with my first 21 day results! 10 inches and 5 lbs -down a size in my clothes! Getting stronger and leaner every day :) I am now just under what I was when I lost the 20 lbs last year so quite a ways to go but know I can do it this time.

02/17/2016

2 more workouts to go and my first 21 day fix extreme is done! I have made 30 min in my day every day -luckily I don't work a full-time job so fit it in in diffferent times of the day. However if I did then I would still work out after the kids went to bed. Now my kids are older and don't take as much energy away from me so I understand it is not the same with everyone.
Drinking my shakes every day without fail and adding fruit into them has also helped with my energy levels and curb my cravings for crappy food.
I used to have to eat french fries at least 3x a week, then last year after starting to get healthy I could have them 1x a week and be OK. Now I am not craving them.
I have 3 chocolate bars (Dairy Milk -not the cheap stuff-lol) in a drawer in my bedroom that I bought at the beginning of January -they are still there. My chocolate Shakeology helps me get that fix most days. I have chocolate macaroon tea a friend of mine gave me which helps too.
You can change your health and your fitness with the right support. Let me know if I can help. :)

Two years ago I was not in a good place on Valentine's Day. I finally had the courage to leave my unhappy situation and by doing this, I believe, my kids and my ex have become happier. I spent last year working on myself and my business and in the process I found love.

This Valentine's Day I am happier, stronger, and more at peace then I have been in a very long time. My girls are happy and healthy, my business gets busier and more well-known each year and I have made a wonderful home for my family.

The man I am with loves me and my girls and thinks I am awesome :) -to be loved by him and his family has meant more to me then he will ever know :) I cannot wait to see what the future holds for our families and my business and all because I have gained my self confidence and self esteem and feel very loved. :)

02/09/2016

Doing well with my meal/exercise plan -just finishing Day 12 out of 21. Have not had sweets in days -or chocolate which is hard at times but not having the cravings and getting a lot of fruit in.
I am finding that I am not as out of breath the second week as I was the first though still modifying a lot of it.
I have been adding frozen fruit and fresh kale to some of my shakes which helps get in those servings (even though I would rather add peanut butter -lol).
My boyfriend is taking me out for dinner on Friday so that will be my cheat meal (though will still try to make healthier choices). :)
Has anyone else been working hard and seeing results? One thing is I haven't had to nap since I started.

Had a client today for 4.5 hrs and wasn't feeling great going in -this working out this week has been hard plus going through some sugar withdrawal. Walked about 3.5 km just around her small apartment and up and down the elevator with garbage and donations. I was exhausted by the time I got home from the Salvation Army. I ate a huge amount of healthy food around 2:30 -veggie stirfry with kale, zuchinni and tomatoes and lean ground beef with some salsa. Also ate 2 cups of colesaw -trying to get in 8 cups of veggies a day is not easy.
Lying on the couch exhausted I watched Valentine's Day with my 15 yr old (who is starting her new semester tomorrow). I told her I needed help with my workout. She made me get my clothes on and setup the DVD for the Dirty 30 (lots of weight exercises) and then sat on the couch and made sure I did everything.
Knowing that my kids and my job need me to have energy forced me to do my workout today -day 6 of 21. What is your motivator to work out?
Now shower and a very early bedtime for me tonight. After I post in my accountability group that is. :)

Please LIKE my coaches page Me But Different - Coach Adina as she is a great motivator (as well as being human and a great mom). Also,if you have any questions about the Beachbody programs feel free to ask her as she has been very active in it for the last year and can answer any questions. :)

So both my daughters had their birthdays recently so now I am the mom of an 11 yr old and a 15 yr old -crazy!! but I really do have great kids of which I am so proud of.
When I first started this page it was to talk about my journey with Beachbody training and other healthy things I was trying to do. Although I was still drinking my Shakeology all last year, I stopped doing the workouts in July and couldn't get my groove back for longer then a few days. Well I got an active coach who has an accountability group. For those of you that don't know it is a group where you need to go on each day and post your journey -what you are eating, what workout you did, what was in your shake.
I started the group last week and am so happy I joined. I started the actual exercise on Friday the 29th and just finished my 5th day. I am doing 21 day fix extreme this time and by extreme they really do mean kick ass hard!
If you have not done 21 day fix I suggest you start with that one first.
So I am using the containers and I have a great app on my phone so after each meal I can track it and it will tell me which containers I have left. I am supposed to be eating 2550 calories a day to lose weight (that is with the half hour workouts). In that there is 8 cups of veggies and 5 cups of fruits (easier said then done) and tons of protein as well. I am positive I have not eaten close to that amount but I am trying -harder when the healthy food has less calories.
Took my before pics and my measurements and will see how week 1 ends in a few days.
Wish me luck and let me know if you want more info on the program. -Judy
