28 Days. 10 lbs!!!!

Hi folks. I've been long over due for a posting!! Life has been busy. But I have lots to share with you. So let's get right to it.

Update #1: Since I achieved great results with Chalean Extreme, my coach suggested I apply to be on the next Beachbody infomercial for CLX. WOW!!!! Really, would they consider little ol' me? I didn't think my body transformation was that extreme to warrant it. But everyone around me said yes!! So I decided to go for it. I wrote a brief description about myself and my before and after stats, and sent in 1 before and after picture. Then a week later, I got a response!!! How exciting. The BB folks asked me to complete some legal waivers forms for use of my name and pictures, and asked me to complete a detailed questionnaire. In addition, they wanted more pictures!! So I did just that. They seemed impressed, which got me even more excited. So now I sit back and wait. Perhaps until late fall to hear if I'm chosen. Wouldn’t that me amazing? Meeting Chalean Johnson, the creator of Chalean Extreme and Turbo Fire??? Plus filming an infomercial and getting to be on TV??? Just going through the process was fun. I will keep you posted!!

Update #2: So I finally decided to get a food allergy test, since I've had numerous digestive issues over the years. Well, I got the results and it was a SHOCKER. Very eye opening, as I was eating pretty much everything I was allergic to!! I'm allergic to all dairy and goat products, including eggs, gluten, spinach, mushrooms, soy and some others. Wow. So I am currently avoiding them for 3 months, then after I will slowly re-introduce them back. But its crazy…so hard to eat now. Gluten and dairy is in virtually EVERYTHING!!

Update #3: I'm on week 9 (of 20) in Turbo Fire. I've been incorporating CLX along with it, since I can't stop lifting weights. Over the past 2 months, I have hit a big plateau. I've remained the same weight, gaining and losing the same 5 lbs…arggghhh. So after seeing a ripped picture of my coach (Barbie), I decided right then and there that I need to go MORE hardcore, which leads me to update #4.

Update #4: With Barbie's advice, I decided to ADD 5 more cardio sessions to my current TF/CLX routine. So that means I will be working out morning (5am) and evening (9pm). For my cardio sessions, I will be walking on an incline on the treadmill for 45-60 min. In terms of diet, I will be focusing on eating super super clean. That means no eating out, no sweets or junk, no added salts, no alcohol. I will cook and plan out all meals and snacks. This will be only for 4 weeks, 28 days. My goal, to lose this dreaded 10 lbs I've been trying to lose for the past 2 months. Yeah, it's going to be extremely challenging, but I know I can do it. I am determined to do it. Today is Day 2 folks and I've already lost 0.6 lbs. 9.4 lbs more to go!! My evening cardio session was tough, but I realized something as I walked on the treadmill at maximum incline. I was not holding the bars..at all. For the full 50 minutes I was on it. Hmmm, I think its safe to say now that I am truly fit!!!

Ok, that's enough for today.

Keep pushing,

Boresha Products

Hi folks. A few of you have been asking me how did I lose 26 lbs, so I will post exactly how I achieved that.

1. NUTRITION - It`s pretty simple, good solid clean eating. 5-6 small meals a day. Plenty of lean protein, veggies, good fats, low carbs and lots of water. I also use meal timing and carb cycling techniques to speed and trick my metabolism.

2. EXERCISE - OK. I sound like a broken record, but really I love any program by Chalene Johnson and BeachBody. The program I used was ChaLEAN Extreme, an intense circuit training weight lifting program. My current program is TURBOFIRE. I will get into that on a another post.

3. SUPPLEMENTS - These helped break through my plateau. My body loves to adapt and thrives on change. I use 3 main supplements and they are amazing to say the least:

(1) BORESHA ARG-MATRIX - L-Arginine supplement that helps boost energy, is an antioxidant, helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels, aids in decreasing body fat, and stimulates muscle development.

(2) BSKINNY COFFEE - Imagine being able to burn fat by just drinking coffee...well stop imagining. Thermogenic fat-burning coffee that controls hunger, balances energy and combats stress-related eating.

(3) NUVO GENE TEA - Similar to the formulation in the Bskinny Coffee, offers a fat burning alternative for those that don`t drink coffee, low glycemic green tea that controls hunger and stress eating and blocks the obsesity gene.

The 60 Day Results

Hi folks! Wow, its been a busy, busy month! I have been keeping up with all my workouts and eating clean. During the first 3 weeks of my Push Phase, I did not lose any weight at all. So I really examined and changed up my diet and guess what? I lost 5 lbs in one week!! So tomorrow is the last day of PUSH PHASE. I start the last phase of Chalean Extreme, the LEAN Phase on Monday. This is where they say you really see results and fat just melts away. Well folks, since I started Chalean 2 months ago, I've lost 22 lbs!!! WOW!!!! I feel so much stronger and I can see the changes in my body. I am super excited for the Lean Phase to see what my results will be.

After I finish Chalean next month, I will be doing a hybrid program, using TURBO FIRE!!!! For those who know me, I've being chatting non stop about Turbo Fire!!! Stay tuned for that.

Keep Pushing Play,
Coach Monney.

The 30 Day Results

So its finally day 30. I jumped on the scale and completed all my measurements and I am very pleased. I lost 16 lbs! 8 of those from my deplete week. So today is a rest day for me but I might push play and get 10 mins of abs in. We'll see. Tomorrow I start phase 2 - the Push Phase---slower lifting and heavier weights. I ordered Chalean Extreme deluxe upgrade, so I have a lot more intense workouts to choose from this month to accelerate my results. I won't lose as much weight this month, but I will bring it like I did last month. I actually love pushing myself to the extreme. It's become a habit for me now. I just hope I stick with this, even when I accomplish my weight loss goal. (oh ya..I will)

The Lifestyle - Part One

Hi everyone. So over the past year, I've been changing up things in my diet. Some might say I am always trying new things or jumping from one diet to another. I mean, ya, that's true. I've done just about everything. Slim Fast, Dr. Daniels, Weight Watchers, the South Beach Diet, Nutrisystem, Dr. Bernstein, the Eat- Clean Diet, the Food lovers Fat Loss System, Detoxing and countless others. And I did lost weight on all of the programs. But it didn't last, the weight always came back on. Always. Because it never became a lifestyle for me. I always reverted back to my old ways of eating and gained it back. Always. So I would then find another program to try. This what I've discovered. Any weight loss program works, if you follow it. What you have to ensure is does the program fit your lifestyle, so it becomes a permanent way of eating? None of these programs did. I couldn't count points forever, I couldn't eat under 1000 calories for life, I couldn't eat pre-packaged foods for years on end.

So I am always looking for a program, a lifestyle plan that will fit me and my habits, so that its becomes so effortless and a permanent solution, FOREVER. I think I might have found it, its too soon to say now though. After all, I am only on week 1, but its so different from what I've done before and seems to be able to fit my lifestyle.

This is what my new lifestyle is:

1. EXERCISE. I am now committed to being the best I can be. I now know that I am capable of pushing myself and working out 6 times a week, something even twice a day! I've done that for 4 weeks, even with a busy life and baby to care for. So I know its doable. Plus I love how I feel afterwards. I love that I'm accomplishing something so challenging and doing it for ME. That's reward in itself. I love working out. And I love Beachbody programs! They have so many programs to choose from for those of you that prefer to workout at home. Right now I'm hooked on CHALEAN EXTREME, a 90 day weight training and HIIT cardio program. (I will get into HIIT later)

2. NUTRITION. Its called Crack the Fat Loss Code, by Wendy Chant. And it might not be for everyone. It’s a bit complicated at first, so that might turn people off right away. But so far I like it. I started the program this week, so its early days. But I'll keep you posted on it. In brief, it’s a 8 week program is divided into four cycles.

Cycle 1: Carb-Deplete Cycle – WEEK 1

This is the toughest week! For 7 days you will be restricting certain foods – mostly carbs – in order to manipulate the glycogen stored in the muscle. During this cycle you’ll be shutting off the body’s dependence on sugar and also teach it where to find the fat stores for energy! This week you will be counting carbs very closely so your veggies are somewhat limited and fats are more focused on the good fats. But, if you carefully follow the cycle you will never have to count carbs again!

Cycle 2: Macro-Patterning Cycle – WEEKS 2-4

Now you’ll move into what is called the Macro-Patterning Cycle. This is where you begin to slowly re-introduce carbs into your life, teaching the body to burn fat while slowing down the adaptive response. During week 2, you will begin to bring most of the foods that you consume regularly back into your daily meals. You will see less rigidity in the meal plans—and more substitutions. For best results, it is recommended that you continue to abstain from alcohol on carb-up days during Week 2. During Week 3, you will have two carb-up days, on Wednesdays and Saturdays. After this week is the best time to add in sweets and alcohol on your carb-up days.

*There are 3 kinds of days in Cycle 2.

Baseline Days

This is where you are teaching your body to adapt. You will be taking in the basic nutrients your body needs through proteins, you’ll take in good fats, but you’ll be adding in one starchy food at two different meals in your day, so long as you eat them before 3:00 p.m.

Carb-Down Days

These are days where you will have a more minimal starch intake to force your body to use fat as an energy source. One these days you will still get your fats from good fat sources, and you will consume one starch before 3:00 p.m.

Carb-Up Days

This is where you will increase your starches to stoke the metabolic rate and give the body what it needs for repair and growth. Your last 2 meals on this day will be primarily carbs! Yes, you can splurge on those usual forbidden foods – bread, desserts, pizza and even alcohol. We call these days Food Passes and you have two of them a week, typically on Wednesdays and Sundays, but the beauty of this plan is that you can adjust these Carb Up Days as needed for special occasions, making it very convenient and totally interchangeable.

Cycle 3: Accelerated Fat-Loss Cycle – WEEKS 5 & 6

For the 3rd cycle, you will begin to pick up the pace! You will continue to follow the same types of days that you did with the Macro-Patterning Cycle, but you will change how they are cycled in order to increase the body’s use of fat stores.

Cycle 4: Maintenance Cycle – WEEKS 7 & 8

The 4th cycle is all about teaching your body to reset back to a higher nutrient profile in favor of carbohydrates and fats. During this cycle you will get 2 new days – a cheat day where you can have any food you like – including any carbs you’ve missed, and you’ll also get a High-Carb Day where you have clean starches all throughout your day. If you have made your goal by this week, you will use this cycle to maintain. If you seek to continue your weight loss, you will restart your program at Cycle 2.

I will post more in a few days.
