Happy Motivation Monday!  So the topic this week is what’s your favorite way to burn calories.  Hands down for me, it is ZUMBA!  There is nothing that can compare to the comradery and fun that comes from that class.  I’ve been going to the same  Zumba classes each week since April and have enjoyed meeting all the other ladies (and a few men) that come to class.  The best part of the class is that is DOES NOT feel at all like exercise.  It is like one big party!  The music and the moves really get that heart rate up and the hour always passes by so fast.

Happy Monday!  I am so happy to announce that I survived week 1 of Jamie Eason’s 12 week LiveFit challenge! The hardest part for me was not doing any cardio.  I’ve gotten so used to hitting up the Y for Zumba 3 times a week and missed my peeps!  The program says no cardio for 30 days but I LOVE doing Zumba so I may just have to sneak in 2 classes a week.  Now on the flip side, I feel so much more energized and even lost a pound last week.  Imagine how much I might have lost if I was actually eating cleaner!

One of my other goals to work on during this 12 weeks is to eat more meals each day.  Even when I was doing the Revolt Fitness Challenge trying to eat 5-6 small meals every day was like pure torture!  I plan to try and incorporate some protein rich smoothies or shakes into my meals to help me repair my muscles as well as give me added nutrients.  I also noticed during this week that I wasn’t quite as hungry, which is always a plus but I have to make sure I’m eating enough so that I don’t waste all the work I’m putting in when I exercise.

Happy Monday!!!  Oh I how love Mondays.  It’s like a nice, fresh start to the week.  And the best part… the kids go back to school!  LOL

Last week the beautiful Nellie of Brooklyn Active Momma stopped by and said that she was doing Jamie Eason’s program.  I had never heard of her so off I went to do a Google search and came across her 12-week trainer program.
