My journey begins tomorrow morning at 5am...and i couldn't be more excited. I have purchased my supplements and prepared my meals for tomorrow and pre-packaged my oatmeal and protein powder, labels are on and gym clothes are laid out!....I am taking one day at a time as Gina told me (you're the best girly)...I started getting overwhelmed and I remember what Gina told me...TAKE ONE DAY AT A TIME...and that's exactly what I am going to do!!
Wish me luck....everyone have a great evening!!!

Well...my overall day has been great. I'm at the end of my 5th day and feeling good! The nutrition plan has been going well, so glad that my job allows me to eat every 2.5-3 hours lol! Since I've been home from work, I guess starting around 5pm I have been fighting cravings for chocolate and spicy sweet chili doritos...and of course it's all thanks to that time of the month! I was able to calm my sweet tooth down with my protein shake, i used cookies and cream protein with water and i added stevia and tbsp of flaxseed...that definitely did the trick!
So...hopefully my sweet and salty cravings due to mother nature will subside...I know they will...sipping some tea now getting ready to head to bed...NIGHT LADIES <3
Congrats Paris on your journey thus far and continuing to take it one day at a time. As Jess said, take "each day as it comes". Best piece of advice and so true! Sounds like you are doing great and way to combat your cravings and find a solution to the problem. Using flavored protein powders seems to do the trick! That time of month tends to bring about cravings so way to not let them win and to take them on! See the tools you are learning and it has only been a short while! Keep up the great work!

It's Tuesday, I had off work today and had a doctor's appt. but first got my cardio in, i had to get my blood work done on Saturday for my yearly appt and the results were in today (that was fast), my doctor said everything looks good except my white blood cell count was high...suppose to be 4-11 and it was 12...apparently I must of had a slight infection...he asked me how i was feeling...my exact words to him : "Well Doc..I'm feeling fantastic, eating clean and exercising must of knocked whatever infection I had out, because I feel GREAT!!"....llooovve it

Had an off day today, set alarm to wake up at 4:30am this morning to go to the gym and do my cardio and when the alarm went off I could hardly get up, I could hardly open my eyes..I was so tired..my period comes on in a few days and..well..it's really kicking my butt!! So I ended up resetting my alarm for 6am so that i could just get a little more sleep and i skipped my cardio. I ended up waking up at 6:30am...i slept right through my alarm which is very unusual for me (I at least hear it lol). But I jumped out of bed and hurried to get ready because I had to be to work at 7..and I live 30-35 mins away from my job.
Got to work the day was blah..my eating was perrrffeect though!!!
Got off, hit the gym for my weights and yea...got through that..was suppose to do my post cardio and I didnt..I just wanted to go home so bad..just wasnt feeling it AT ALL!!
So got home..fixed the hubby's lunch for tomorrow and then fixed my dinner..weellll...i made an egg omelete w/veggies and put it on my plate...i grabbed the marinara sauce w/ground turkey that i had made the night before for my husband (which he doesnt like anything healthy so go figure..i have tons left) and i heated it up and was going to put it on my omelete bc i so wanted something salty..i thought about and i didnt do it..then i did...my cravings started up again and i just did it..i poured 1/3 c of the marinara w/ground turkey sauce over my omelete and i sprinkled 1 tbsp of parm cheese over top and ate that...I slid a little from my plan but i figured it was better that than to sit there and eat my omelete then eat my husbands doritos than go to the reeses in the cabinet (i can be a very heavy binge eater so I know when my bodies going into overdrive or at least wants to) ...so i felt bad after eating my omelete with the sauce and cheese..BUT..i forgave myself and moved on..i think....
Sad thing is ...this whole "OFF" day seems to be due to the fact that I hadn't woke up at 4:30am like I was suppose to, to do my cardio session....since this morning of not doing cardio...MY WHOLE DAY HAS BEEN BLAH!!!
..................always tomorrow <3
Hi Paris, First of all, congrats on your blood work and amazing results! That definitely has a correlation to your healthy balanced program and habits you are making! As far as your day, we all have those "bla" days and as you said, moving on there is aways tomorrow and tomorrow is going to be a GREAT day. Tell yourself that now and it sure will. It is amazing how a few set backs in the morning can set the tone for the entire day. I am proud of you for keeping a positive attitude, that is huge! You are doing so great in your approach and positivity. As far as the minor deviations from your plan, better the marinara and tbsp of cheese than the Doritos, that is for sure!! Your decision was not a bad one, maybe not exactly per your plan but I do want you to know that was a very healthy meal you had. You didn't go crazy with the sauce or cheese so that is control. Way to know yourself and know that it was going to be moderate sauce and cheese OR a bag of Doritos and then some. Own it, forgive and moving on, that's exactly what your steps should be. Do note that that meal was still very healthy in the lifestyle plan. Don't beat yourself up and be proud to recognize the potential of a slipper slope. Tomorrow is going to be GREAT!

Well put Gina and Paris your not alone trust me ive had many of those days. Not sure if you read Gina post about a light switch will just turn on or off trying to remember how she put it but see if you can scan old post for it was one of few points of my inspiration for sure. I can say i was dealing with what you felt during my weekends when my days not so structured like being at work and let me say i was all over the place had a bit here and there i was not supposed to then was one mornng i was up at 5 am i was dead beat tired and told my self enough why get up this early feel beat up if i was going to side track and let me tell you it changed my over all mind set i have better weekends my body programed to get up even if really tired but i know i had been so good that my good feeling will also come after that cardio session as well and i can say i was in joy when sent my pix this monday cause really was i shocked with such a difference it may not had been major or a lot but something i recognized and that what motivates me for the next days to come weeks to come and eventually down that line the end result. But i still have those moments when i take a bit of something i should not and do regret but like you said and Gina said forgive my self and the next moment or day is even better.

Hey everyone..so as of October 19th, my month of training with Gina has truly paid off...I lost weight, I lost TONS of inches, I've gained so much knowledge from Gina and the Fitness Network, and I've gained so much confidence. It was and still is a journey that I have completely fallen in love with. I now don't beat myself up if I happen to slip up a bit, but I've also learned to take note of that slip up and move on, not to dwell on it..just move on from it! I will continue to live a very healthy lifestyle..bc..I will NOT, nor will I ever DIET (lol)...this is a LIFESTYLE CHANGE for me and I'm loving every second of it!!! Love you ladies
P.S.-Michelle..girl the bars are delish..I fell head over heels for them and had to order the pb&j..sooo yummy!! Digging deep...and staying focused...<3

I am so happy with not only her physical transformation but if you read her story about the struggles she faced, where she is now, mentally is a HUGE transformation in itself!!! Paris, you have truly come so far and learned so much in a short amount of time! We all slip up and to learn to not "dwell" and keep moving on will allow for consistent results and progress!! That is a huge lesson to learn and one well worth taking with us always!! "I WILL CONTINUE TO LIVE A VERY HEALTHY LIFESTYLE... BECAUSE I WILL NOT, NOR WILL I EVER DIET... THIS IS A LIFESTYLE CHANGE FOR ME AND I'M LOVING EVERY SECOND OF IT!!" You just made my day, reading this. that is exactly what this is about and girlfriend you boldly stated that and it came from the heart, I can tell!!! Keep that statement, print it out, read it daily and you will only continue to live and not 'DIE-T" !! Hope you enjoyed your scuba trip! What an awesome way to celebrate! Look at you, celebrating while swimming!! Not every day do you hear a celebration that isn't all about food! You rock Paris! Looks like fine minds think alike... (see photo below)
Check out Paris after only 4 weeks of digging deep! This is just the beginning... keep digging deep. We are all Very Proud of you!!! xo
