After following Nikki Sharp on Instagram for a few months now I have been going back and fourth rather or not I was ready to give up my pregnancy eat whatever I want whenever I want and not care way of living... Well after not fittin into ANY of my prepregnancy jeans... I decided to do some light clothes shopping... Just to get me by... My kick in the butt was definitely trying on one size bigger... Not going above my knees... Then two sizes bigger... I got up to my thighs... Then three sizes bigger... Squeezed em on but couldn't button them! So yes... I went up FOUR sizes! And even thy are a lil snug! I was defeated... Kicked to the curb by my own body... At that moment I realized I need to make some serious changes! That's where Nikki came in... She's such an inspiration! And not just seeing her results but others results and knowing they are REAL people really helped me decide to spend the $8 and buy her detox plan!

Now out of respect for Nikki I will NOT give out any specifics of what we ate (we, I dragged my husband into this voyage) but I will give basics... So please don't ask..

So Day 1... We decided to try out her smoothie recipe! My husband is allergic to some of the ingredients so he doesn't get to enjoy all of it!



Like I said... My husband can't eat all the ingredients so his looks different than mine.. Mine is the greener colored smoothie...

Now before I get to the smoothie let me tell you about us. We are big on fast food... Like 3-4 times a week at least! Yeah... Gross and expensive I know! So this is a real challenge for us.

So on to the smoothie... It was... Interesting... A bit deceiving... The bright colors made us think... Flavorful and fun! But it was a bit chalky and dull... However it was definitely edible and we drank the entire thing! We didn't think its be very filling but it actually was! The flavor wasnt something I will ever crave but it did feel as though we were eating RIGHT!

Now on to plan the rest of our meals! Stay tuned for more information!

Sorry but with my newborn I didn't have time to do an extensive day by day review!

I finished our detox on Friday.. At the end of the detox let me tell ya! I was exhausted! Working out while doing this detox did not work for me... I felt like I was being deprived of energy... But it did produce results! I lost all my bloat! And because I had results I was frightened that it would all vanish the moment I brought meat back into my diet!

So now it's Tuesday... And boy do I feel better! I added lean chicken into my diet and finished all the extra veggies I had from my detox shopping trip... And I can see some bloat came back but not as much as before... Maybe 10% return... But Id rather have that 10% bloat back with the return of energy than be bloat less and unable to workout!

It was a nice jump start to my new work out plan! Started Jillian Michaels yesterday check out my blog on that :)

Would I do her detox again? Eh probably not... It was worth the $8 and experience... But I think eating clean would have produced the same results... And I could have had meat! Give a shot and tell me how it worked for you!
 
I've been anxiously awaiting for my Target package to arrive with my two Jillian Michael workout DVDs... Yesterday was the day! I waited like a kid for Santa! You know when you ask Santa for that specific bike with the pretty rims and flower seat... And you run down stairs and you spot that bike tire as you turn down the hall... Just to find that Santa actually brought you a bike with a star seat and ugly rims... Oh the disappointment! Well that's how I felt yesterday after noon... As I ripped open my two packages... I ordered Jillian Michaels Killer Buns and Thighs and her 30 day shred... Just to receive her 30 day shred and her Extreme Shed and Shred... Oh target... How you disappointed me! Why would I need two of her 'Shredding Videos'??

My plan was to do one day 30DS and the next KBT.... Welp! That killed my plan :-/ I guess next month I will do KBT and her 6 weeks to a 6 pack... And incorporate ESS into my routine this month...

Unlike my Target package, Jillian did not disappoint! Boy oh boy was I sweating up a storm! It was nice that she broke it up into a 3-2-1 3 structure... 3 minutes strength 2 minute cardio 1 minute abs... So if you are hating one stage it's a fast get it over with kinda feel... I started with level one at 157lbs! I will post a before picture shortly... Level one was easy to me.. But still made me feel sore.. The only thing I wish was that abs was a bit harder... My abs don't hurt at all... Maybe I will just add my own abs into after...

So far so good! Well will see how ESS is tonight!
