I'm officially an Inner Beast Clothing Ambassador!

A few weeks ago I took a leap of faith and applied to be an Ambassador for Inner Beast Clothing. I didn't think I would get it as I've only been in the fitness world a year and don't have a large following. But I got it!!

Being accepted into the program made me realize I really can do this and that my future plans I've been working on to bring y'all will not be in vain! They have been amazing to me from the start!

PreMass Preworkout Review

A month and a half ago I got this product to try. I had tried Preworkout powders in the past with little satisfaction.

With the two previous products I had tried they left me feeling like I was going to have a cardiac malfunction and that is not a well liked feeling. While this one didn't leave me feeling like my heart was going to jump out of my chest it also didn't really help me get through a workout. It is stimulate free so perhaps that had something to do with it, I can't say for 100% if that was the case. This product also claimed it would help build your size which was something I hadn't heard before when it came to Preworkout. Even taking it as directed there was no size increase. The only thing that is going to help you get bigger is hard work, dedication and proper nutrition.

This product wasn't as chalky or clumpy as the other ones I'd tried. It still clumped together as soon as water was added (of any hot/cold degree) but the taste was alright once you shook the hell out of it for about 10 minutes.

All in all I'm still looking for a Preworkout product 😁💪

Meal prep container review

A few months back I got the meal prep containers pictured below. If you have been part of any fitness community or googled anything fitness related you've heard about meal prep and how important it is. I agree that what you put in your body is as important if not more than the physical aspect.

I bought these containers to aid me in the process of getting the right carb, vegetable and protein proportions down. They worked great for the first month. When I first got them I was leery of the flimsy edge fearing it would break within the first week. I was wrong and right at the same time. The edge didn't break in the first week it broke the second month.

I give them a lot of credit though for putting up with the abuse they went through. They held up in the freezer and microwave without snapping or leaking. They traveled in lunch boxes to and from work without the kids coming off and forcing you to have no lunch and a huge mess. All in all for the price I paid I can't complain too much. This is a lesson learned in the world of meal prep containers.

Non scale victories & pictures!

So I don't even own scale at the moment because for so long I let those numbers control me. If I didn't like what they said I would either eat less or run more sometimes  both. Now I'm going by some non scale victories and changes I can see.

Yesterday was the first non scale victory I saw and was also the last day of my arm challenge! I was quite pleased with the results and will post some pics at the end of this entry.

While I'm still learning I also am starting to feel more confident in myself, feel like i have more energy, able to do more both physically and with my kids. I also learned I have more to learn especially when it comes to the nutrition portion as my calories in are always way less than my calories expended. So I need to eat smaller more nutritious meals throughout the day so that my body doesn't convert the muscle I'm building into food for my body to keep going.

So with all that being said and knowing I need to buy a scale eventually here are my pics!

Friday Progress Report

So I'm almost done with the 21 day arm challenge (after having to start over) and am seeing progress! Its been slow and steady but I am seeing some muscle definition and muscle tone. I even have little baby biceps! Chicken arms are going away and any progress is progress. I'll post pics on the last day. I already plan on waiting a week and redoing it but this time increasing the dumbell weight to 10 pounds from 3 pounds.

I also started a new 12 week training program from an app I found on my tablet. The first workout today kicked my butt and I literally collapsed when I was done. Mainly worked legs and core today. So far it's a pretty good app as you can pick the program I'm doing for weight loss or one of their other ones. I took my before pictures today before I started and I'm actually really excited to post the final picture with today's picture so I can see the progress.

My iFit is working again after being MIA for a year. I've been wearing it for a week straight and so far I've realized that I eat less than I burn which is what you want to lose weight but you also need to feed your body right. So that is something else I'm working on. Right now my cals out are about twice as high as my cals in.

I'm a work in progress but I'm not giving up this time.

First pictures

So I'm not even sure I want to do this but at the same time I want to if that makes any sense at all. So after deciding to take these this afternoon I also decided I was not ready to show my stomach yet aalthough I have them for personal reference and to maybe put up here one day. So after changing into cleaner clothes and smushing my boobs down here's the results of my before pics.
