Years ago I took up clean eating and lost 25 pounds in 5
months without really working out at all.
I know all the basics of the plan.
Fast forward to March 8, 2013 (after having another child) I
started using myfitnesspal and counting calories with regularly going to the
gym 6 days a week (I recently became a stay at home mom). So I was eating 90% clean and burning a good
500 calories a workout and usually always under calories. I lost about 11 pounds and 6+ inches total
all over (maybe a bit more) but although I am happy with those results I
want/wanted more of a outcome. I feel
like I look better and have higher numbers than I do. I came across the livefit program before but
never actually tried it. So seeing as I
felt I needed to make a change I decided to give this program a chance. I am nervous for a few reasons. First NO CARDIO!!! I am not sure I can do that. While I am not an avid runner I recently ran
my first 5k and can run 3 miles and try to 1-2 times a week. I also feel that cardio is the best way to
burn calories which it's still in my head that burning calories is really important. The other is the meal plan (I don't like to
call it a diet). While I know the basics
of clean eating and have practiced it before, this plan requires you to eat A
LOT and eat A LOT of protein. I know
that I will need to get creative because chicken breast and sweet potato with
broccoli all the time will get way BORING.
I am comfortable in the gym now so I know that will not be an issue for
me. I was very anxious to start the
program so I don’t so have all the essentials yet and at this time have no clue
what I will eat for lunch, I plan to hit the grocery store later today.
I have always admired Jamie Eason and other fitness models
in Oxygen Magazine so I know that this is the right path for me. It will take planning, patience,
determination and dedication but I know that I can do it. I know that I can because I don’t want to
ever have to start over again. I want a
physically fit body for the rest of my life.
There is no other option for me.
Failure isn’t an option.
Have you done the LiveFit Program or are you currently doing
it? Any suggestions to share?
