One week down…2 to go!!!!

I’ll be honest…I thought I was kind of sort of going to breeze through this program since I had been used to the Extreme program however…that was not the case!!!

This week really challenged me but-I did the best I could, used the highest weights I felt I could handle and when I needed to…dropped down!

I had one small hiccup on Tuesday as I found myself with what I self-diagnosed was turf toe. Out of NOWHERE my left big toe was red, hot to touch, swollen and very painful. I asked around and while the general consensus was gout – I have pretty much zero of the common causes for gout and much more likely to be turf toe.

Regardless I took a much needed yet dreaded REST DAY Wednesday, prepped some meals tried this new recipe for SPICY QUINOA AND ZUCCHINI BOWL and more importantly rested my foot!

I changed up my planned workout schedule by going with Pilates on Thursday (with lots of modifications and one-footed planks) and then Lower Fix Friday and Cardio Saturday at an event in my hometown ran by one of my coaches. I will say I love the flexibility

I’ll admit I missed my favorite Dirty 30!!!! But I’ll get it in this week for sure!!!

Nothing like getting knee deep in your weekly meal plan before realizing your planned 3-day refresh is going to have to wait for next week as Thursday will be spent prepping for Friday’s colonoscopy 😬

Yes – you read that right – this 29 year old heathy mama has a scheduled COLONOSCOPY!!!

After having huge successes last year with the addition of my superfood magic potion Shakeology and the switch to clean eating I was completely taken off all of my Chron’s disease meds and this will determine whether or not I can forgo these lovely procedures until I hit 50 like the rest of the population! 

As anyone who has ever been through one of these before knows, the prep is far from enjoyable and while I am in no way looking forward to Thursday I cannot wait to hear the results Friday morning!
