Progress - Weeks 5 & 6

Weeks 5 & 6 were a bit hectic for me.  I know that I could have put forth more effort during my workouts, and I even skipped a few.  However, I am in the process of training for my first ever 5K on March 14th, and spent a lot of time shoveling snow.

With that being said, I am continuing to get stronger each day, and am continuing to lose weight.  I am down a total of 20 pounds on P90 and still have one month to go!  Today starts Phase C, and I have not done my workout yet.  I will as soon as I finish this post.

Phase B - I'm glad it is over, but I am also thinking I should extend it a week or two.  I am able to almost do full pushups now :) and I don't need the modifications for any of the moves anymore.  That is proof in and of itself that my strength is continuing to increase.  I like variety in my workouts, and with this program, it is the same 2 workouts that alternate each day.  That is my only complaint.

Ab Ripper B was intense, but I made sure I got it in at least 4 times a week.  I am beginning to see my middle becoming more defined, especially my upper abs.  I can feel the outline of my obliques, and have a slimmer core.  I may eventually have abs!!! Once I get the rest of this excess weight off, that is!

I could not be happier with my progress so far with Beachbody.   Since starting my Beachbody and Shakeology journey, I am down a total of 60 pounds! I don't think I could have done this without the help of my Beachbody coach, and the support groups that I have participated in.  This is what drives me to want to help others reach their fitness goal! So they, too, can feel this excitement that I feel with my progress so far.

Kayla's Transformation!

AHHH! I am so excited for this transformation!!

Kayla and I have been best friends since we met in Kindergarten over 25 years ago.  We have been there to support and encourage each other over the years, and I consider her a sister.  although we now live about 8 hours apart, we are still there for one another.

Kayla has always been fairly active, being around animals her entire life.  She is currently a vet tech, owns 2 gorgeous dogs and a horse, and is married to her high school sweetheart! Like a lot of people, sometimes workouts and healthy eating aren't always a top priority, but once Kayla started making them a priority again, she began seeing incredible results!  Here is her story.

Kayla started out doing T25 several months ago, but got frustrated once she hit a plateau.  She needed a little boost to get her over it so she could continue losing weight and reach her goal.  She reached out to me about Shakeology, the 3 Day Refresh, and asked to join one of my challenge groups to see if that would help.  In early January, she completed the 3 Day Refresh and began drinking Shakeology.  She has not only broken through her plateau, but has lost enough weight to almost make it to her goal ahead of schedule!  This girl is a rock star!

She has been rocking the challenge groups! Kayla not only posts daily about how she did on her food, workout, and Shakeology, but she also is a great inspiration, supporter and motivator to the other challengers.  Being in the challenge groups really helps to keep you motivated to reach your goals.  It is also a place you can go to vent if you are having a bad day, and get picked up by those who are going through the same struggles as you.  I am so proud to not only have Kayla as a challenger, but also as a great friend.

I'm not going to post specific numbers because Kayla is not quite where she wants to be yet, but she will be soon.  Since starting T25, she has lost a total of 25 pounds and 16.5 total inches! AMAZING! Kayla, you are killing it! Keep up the fantastic work!

If you want to have success like Kayla, join me in one of my challenge groups! I would love to work with you!

Progress: Weeks 3 & 4

I continue to feel really great with this program!  The moves are getting easier, and I can feel myself getting stronger.  I am down a total of 13 pounds in the first month (Phase A) and a total of 10 inches.  My husband continues to comment on how strong I am getting and is seeing more definition in my arms, legs, and back.  I love the confidence I am gaining in myself!

I am excited to start Phase B and see what results I can get from that.  For the next month, I will be switching things up and doing Sculpt 3 days a week and Sweat 2 days a week.  I want to get stronger and feel as though switching things up will help me reach my goal faster.

As a way to celebrate my birthday and new lifestyle, I signed up for my first ever 5k race! I am going to try and run as much as possible, so I will need to start training for that in conjunction with using P90. I am excited and nervous to do this, but it has been on my bucket list for a while, and I finally feel like I am able to complete it.

Progress: Weeks 1 & 2

I finished weeks 1 and 2 of P90 and I am really starting to like the program.  I have the moves down and am able to do them with more power, thereby getting better results.  My husband told me the other day, "Wow! You have muscles in your back and arms!" I didn't know if I should be offended or what, haha! Of course I then had to flex in the mirror and see for myself, and low and behold, I had some definition! *happy dance* It is things like this, noticing some definition, and others noticing a change in me that gives me the motivation to continue on this journey.

I still have a long way to go to reach my goal weight and fitness level, but with this program, I am slowly inching closer and closer.  I am doing the Sweat Schedule because I need more cardio endurance and have a lot of weight left to lose.  I am able to digg deeper and push myself harder each day, and am able to do more of the exercises for a longer period of time.  In less than 30 minutes a day, my cardio has improved significantly over the past 2 weeks.  I can't wait to finish the next 2 weeks and compare my before and after pictures.

The Sculpt workouts are great, and I will soon need to bump up my weights to present more of a challenge for myself.  I am stronger than I have ever been, and have muscle definition where I thought I would never have muscle definition.  I can see myself finishing this program and getting great results because I am seeing the improvements I have made in two weeks time.

I was just talking with others today that losing weight is so much harder than it is to put it on.  Consistently doing these workouts and following my meal plans will not doubt give me the results I desire.  Losing weight is 80%  diet and 20% exercise.  In order to achieve results, your diet has to be balanced and healthy.  You can't destroy all of your hard work you put out in your workouts by sabotaging it in the kitchen.  If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.  Meal planning is key!  Stay tuned for my weeks 3 & 4 update!

21 Day Fix Extreme

UPDATED!!!

I just had the privilege of trying the Dirty 30 from the 21 Day Fix Extreme.  All I can say is, "WOW!!" Saying that I am beyond ecstatic for this new program to be released is a HUGE understatement! Today was the official release of the 21 Day Fix Extreme challenge packs!! Reserve you spot in my upcoming challenge group starting February 15th! Get yours spot before they are all gone.  If I can get 20 challengers for this group, I will put everyone's name in a hat a draw a random winner.  That winner will get a gift card for Amazon!

This program is intense and is not recommended for beginners.  The workouts, 7 total, feature a blend of resistance training, explosive power, and steady-state aerobic moves that target every muscle.  The result? You get shredded, FAST!  Portion control containers help you to eat properly, giving you the best results possible.  This program will take dedication, but I promise you, you will see the results! It is only 21 days. YOU CAN DO THIS!

The original 21 Day Fix was designed to make losing weight simple, but the 21 Day Fix Extreme will get you seriously shredded in the least amount of time possible.  How doesn't have 30 minutes a day to devote to themselves to get healthy? Make yourself a priority for 30 minutes each day, and you won't be disappointed!

Who is this for:

• Those who have dramatic, short-term weight-loss deadline (wedding, vacation, photo shoot, etc.)
• 21 Day Fix graduates and graduates of other extreme programs (P90X, INSANITY, FOCUS T25) who are ready for the next phase
• Those without much weight to lose, but who want to get muscle tone and definition, and those who want to see their abs
• People who aren't looking to count calories, weigh their food, or follow complicated recipes

If this sounds like something you are looking forward to trying (LIKE ME!), fill out the form below or order through my site: www.teambeachbody.com/keilaorr.

I look forward to working with you all to help you reach your fitness goals!

New Year - New You!

As 2015 begins, resolutions to become healthier also begin.  Who wouldn't want to make their top priority their health? I do, and I am! I have learned through my weight loss journey that it takes time, commitment, dedication, and most of all SUPPORT to help you reach your goal! I am grateful for my Beachbody family and the support and motivation they provide me on a daily basis.  Without this, I would have quit a long time ago.

I am the type of person who likes instant gratification.  Reaching my fitness goals is far from that!  My Beachbody family, as well as my husband, have been there day in and day out supporting, pushing, motivating, and giving me a gentle kick in the butt when needed to get back on track.  I am not saying I have been perfect, but I have been giving it my all to reach my goals.  If I miss a workout one day, I double up the next day.  During the holidays, I even doubled up on my workouts each day to combat the snacking that inevitably took place.

Knowing your weaknesses and knowing what you can do to overcome them is the first step in reaching your goals.  For me, it is chocolate, hands down!  My husband is such a great support and accountability partner for me because he makes me realize that the candy bar that I really WANT to buy is not something that I NEED to buy.  Then he proceeds to remind me of the number of burpees that I will have to do to burn off the calories from said candy bar (I HATE BURPEES!).

During my 21 Day Fix journey, I was constantly reminded that reaching your goals is 80% food and 20% exercise.  I didn't really know how that could be true since I had always assumed that if you workout, you will lose weight.  Man, was I wrong!  You could work out everyday, 365 days a year, but if you are still eating junk, you will not see any results.  The 21 Day Fix is a great program that helps you see what all you should be eating, and in correct portions.  It is broken down into calorie brackets, and the most food anyone should be eating is vegetables and lean proteins.  I have learned to tolerate the taste of fish because it is good for you.  I have increased my veggie intake as well, but part of that is because of my husband (he is a veggie lover!).  Just keep in mind that while exercise is very important to your health, the food you put in your body is even more important.  You have to fuel your body properly to have success.
