LMP

It has been a great week for me so far fitness wise.  My next BeachBody program came yesterday!  I am so excited!  I ordered Les Mills Pump, it comes with barbell and weights.  The box was 42.5 lbs, yes I weighed it.  Now to hold off to start it until I am done with Chalean Extreme.  I will be starting Les Mills Pump July 2 for the 90 Beach Body Challenge!!  I am hosting a small accountability group for those who what to get fit and healthy, and see results in less than 90 days!  I do have a few spots left so let me know if you are interested.  You can find me on facebook, (Julie Hadder Warner) message me and I will get you more info.

Also I went to the doctor on Tuesday for a check up.  I have officially lost 29 lbs according to my medical charts.  I no longer need my reflux medication.  The horrible spasms that I used to get in my shoulder are almost gone.  And saving the best for last, my blood pressure was 120/70!!!  That is the LOWEST I have EVER seen it!  About 15 points lower than my normal with my blood pressure medication.   I still need to stay on my meds for now, because my BP is perfect, but if goes down anymore, then there is a chance I  may be able to reduce my dosage of get off all together.

I owe it all (well majority of it) to BeachBody and their amazing products, coaches, and support!  All I had to do was to push play, and eat right!

Favorite Snack

Apple, greek yogurt, and cinnamon

This has got to me one of my favorite snacks!  I love pink lady apples best, but enjoy with your favorite type of apple.  I like 0% Chobani Greek yogurt plain fat free.   Greek yogurt is and excellent source of protein, in comparison to regular yogurt.   Cinnamon is an amazing spice that tastes great!  Eaten on a regular basis, it can lower blood sugar and help regulate insulin levels.  When you have spikes in blood sugar will cause you to gain weight.  Cinnamon also creates a chemical reaction.  When cinnamon is consumed, your body actually reacts chemically to digest the cinnamon. This reaction actually speeds up the metabolism in order to offset the extra heat that is occurring as a result of the cinnamon. When the metabolism speeds up, you are burning more calories and you will lose weight more quickly.  In short, sprinkle cinnamon on lots of things, coffee, tea, and fruits, or enjoy this amazing spice however you desire.
