Preparing for Battle!!!

So a good friend approached me with a challenge here recently, at first I didn't think too much about it. However when she began to start the process and was giving me all the details, I started thinking that maybe she could be on to something. If your anything like me you never want to be left behind on anything. "If your gonna do it, than I am too". No one wants to go to battle by themselves, they need a wing man, someone to call upon when the going gets tough, a friend to share the dreadful long days of limited food and cravings for hot fudge sundaes and chips and salsa. Someone who will remind you in the end "That nothing taste as good as skinny feels". I have always loved that quote. It is so true, no cheeseburger, fries and a coke is worth 3,000 squats!! It's just way to easy to eat than it is to burn off. Why is that? Ohhh the battle against food!So here is the challenge that my amazing friend Heather who I like to call "Hairs" (Its a long story) approached me with:

Give up all things good for 30 days, eat nothing but a bunch of vegetables that I didn't even know exist and work out every day by following the Tracy Anderson 30 Day Method!

I am sure you are saying WOW, can I please be first in line to try that too!!!! Cause that just sounds sooo amazing. I know, I know, your wondering why in the hell would anyone be excited and willing to sacrifice so much just in the name of loosing a few pounds. Well the answer is... I love a good challenge, I need to loose some extra weight, eat healthier and lastly just to top it all off I will be heading to Las Vegas in about 30 some days!! (that might be the real reason) Regardless I said YES and I never back down to a challenge! So I have decided to keep a blog of my journey to help me stay on track. Here you will find a day to day journal of the 30 day TAM challenge I will be facing. The ups, the downs, the carrots, the broccoli and all the in between. I hope you stick around for motivation cause trust me I am gonna need it!
Tonight is the night before the Battle starts! I am ready! I spent all day shopping for food with names I hardly understood, I stocked my fridge with everything from the list of foods, prepared my meals for day 1,took my measurments and finished reading the book. I hope I can make it through the day!

Here is my promise to myself:

I promise to give my best effort for the next 30 days - to abide by the Tracy Anderson Method.

I promise to workout every day and follow her workout regimen

I promise to be positive and stay motivated each and every day

And when its all said and done I promise to love my body for who I am. ( and also a night out with the girls and a hamburger) ha ha





My fully stocked fridge! I know there are a few deadly sins still in there but I have kids and a husband who have to eat too!

My good bye to my weekend fun!
