January 30 day plan... what am I doing??

Hi all,

well it has been a wee while since I spoke to you all! How are we? So many exciting things have happened over the past few months, business has exploded, I have moved... but that is for another day! We are here to discuss this 30 day healthy living plan that everyone is talking about!!

So what is up with it and why is everyone jumping on the band wagon with it and getting involved?
Well number 1 is probably because it works, you feel and look so much better, you loose weight (if thats what you eat) you aren't hungry, you don't deprive yourself and 2 because it is to transform your lifestyle to healthier not just a detox or a point counting system that you can't possible maintain forever. Healthy living isn’t about eliminating all of the foods you love or pushing your body to unhealthy limits. It’s about finding a balance between the physical, emotional, nutritional, and motivational elements in your life.

What happens on it?
Well it is 30 days long.  You buy a pack which contains everything you need in terms of digestion aids, teas, shakes, meal plans, guides. You are given all the information, support and guidance to help you and then you just get started!

Do I get hungry?
Absolutely not! If you are hungry then you are doing something wrong.  There are plenty of quick and easy snacks and meals you can have. We have recipe guides and shopping lists.

But what if I can't stick to the 30 days?
Don't worry about it.  Give it your best shot.  Most people find once they get going they see results pretty quick (I do in first few days) so they want to stick to it.  We have massive support in our Facebook group of over 400 people!!

400 people all doing this together? YES!! It is so fun!! I love being a part of it, making new friends, getting healthier and being proud of myself and my body!

Will I loose weight?
The chances are probably yes! No guarantees obviously, it depends if you stick to it or not.  There are added weight management aids you can use to boost your metabolism and help you stay full which taste yummy and work really well if you are eager to shift a lot of weight.

So what makes it different to any other diet out there?
The Arbonne 30 days to Healthy living plan is about finding a sustainable lifestyle, not making radical changes that are unrealistic for you, your family, your schedule or your interests.

Healthy living isn’t about eliminating all of the foods you love or pushing your body to unhealthy limits. It’s about finding a balance between the physical, emotional, nutritional, and motivational elements in your life.

30 Day Shred | 10 day update level 1 Results

Pheweee level 1 of Gillian Michael's 30 day shred done! 

I have really enjoyed having an exercise and a focus over the last week or so. As mentioned in my 5 day Update, there were days when I could not be bothered and was left wondering why am I doing this? However, the thing that kept me going was the results I had already seen. I could physically see the difference and that really spurred me on.

I had 3 days off during my first level, which is absolutely fine.  You can have 1 or 2 days off per week. And I definitely needed them.

Sooo, here are my 30 days shred level 1 results

Hopefully you can tell which is before and after :-) For the avoidance of doubt, left is BEFORE and right is AFTER.  My muscles are tighter, I feel fitter, more confident and there is definitely less to pinch around my sides and stomach.  I have also noticed my jeans are looser around the bottom and hip.

Onwards and upwards, level 2 here I come!!!

Have you tried the 30 day shred?

30 Day Shred Update | Day 5

I am so excited to tell you all about my first 5 days on the 30 day shred!!  

If you follow along with twitter or instagram you might have seen that I am undertaking the 30 Day Shred by Gillian Michaels. Gillian is the lady tasked with getting the contestants on the biggest loser in to shape.  I am off to Vegas in 3 weeks and want to have a rockin' bikini bod.

Day 1

I was pretty excited to get started.  I am not gonna lie it was a tough work out, but definitely do able. I didn't feel like I wanted to stop or coudn't carry on, perhaps because I was so motivated. I would say the hardest part were the push-ups... ouch!

Day 2

Feeling a little sore, especially under my arms. Still I am ploughing on, thinking of that bikini body!

Day 3

Today was a struggle, I really didn't want to work out at all. In fact I got pretty angry during the exercises, fortunately those punches came in handy! Feeling: sore.

Day 4

So tired today. Noticed I have been wanting to eat more, and had a few cheeky sweet snacks.  Telling myself it is ok because I am working out... hmmm not sure this is going to work, maybe I will put on weight instead of toning up!

Day 5

I had the 5th day off. Not because I actually wanted to but because I couldn't fit the work out in to my day.  Which is fine because you are suppose to have 1 or 2 days off per week. So my 5th workout was on day 6.  Gillian says it will get easier but honestly I was sweating the most so far today, could be because I am pushing myself more, but apart from being able to get through the first set of push ups a little better it is still tough.

I think the results I can see so far are incredible. I had no idea that working out just 20 minutes a day for 5 days could make such a huge difference.  Overall I am feeling great. So proud of myself for getting this far! 5 workouts done 25 more to go!!

What do you think of my results so far ladies? Have you tried the 30 day shred?
