The plan this week has been to replace breakfast or lunch with a protein shake. I have used apples, spinach, blueberries pear, orange and almond milk to blend two scoops of USANA's plant protein and 1 scoop of booster. I have added the protein booster because I have been cycling and working out daily too and the added protein is good if you increase your daily work. For the other two meals of the day I have a Low GI (Glycemic Index) meal. I have prepared a meal guide which I send out to my associates and preferred customers who purchase the My SMART kits (can be bought here www.rebeccabonfield.usana.com). I also drink plenty of water (still have a small black coffee in the morning to keep me alive). I have 2 USANA coconut cashew snack bars a day or 1 bar and fruit if I get peckish. The coconut cashew bars are my favourite but most people prefer the chocolate (also purchased here www.rebeccabonfield.usana.com)During this weight loss journey I also want to focus on my middle. My tummy has got pretty flabby and after having 3 children, it needs some attention. This year I have downloaded and app to help with exercise ideas. If you want to download it too...I highly recommend it. It's called "30 Day fitness Challenge". You can choose different levels of abs, full body, butt, arm and leg workouts all capable of doing at home. I'm focussing on abs but will up it to more areas as time goes on.
I am cycling 6 miles a day to take the children to and from school. Where possible incorporate exercise into your daily routine. Ditch the car and walk, run or cycle to work instead. Get off a bus stop early and walk the rest of the way, take the stairs not the lift or escalator, make use of that free gym at work or find ways to exercise while doing housework. Running up and down the stairs with washing, do a full house hoovering session, stand to iron instead of sitting. Also, if you have a dog then go for a run.....he will like you a lot ;) To help with gut health which is a great focus during weight loss I take USANA Probiotics every other day and Omega 3 with my daily Health Pak also by USANA (Can be purchased here www.rebeccabonfield.usana.com) This makes sure my body absorbs everything is can from the shakes and meals and makes up where I'm lacking. I want to aim for optimal health, our bodies were designed to do great things so lets give them the best to get the best out of them. The way I feel health wise when on USANA is phenomenal. I have not had a cold, flu or sickness bug since. I have not had a day off work and been there for the family everyday. My children also take their vitamins (Bodyrox by USANA) and their school attendance is 100%. I love having these testimonies to tell, I can't actually remember the last time anyone was sick in this household. Our medicine cupboard use to have calpol, cough medicines, paracetemol, ibuprofen, lemsip and all sorts of "medicines" Now it just looks like this
 |
| Our "medicine" cabinet only has USANA's Vitamins and Minerals in it now. We have not been sick for a long time and as each "medicine" product went out of date it got thrown away. We don't even have calpol in the house anymore because it is never needed. |
  |
| Keep shakes in the fridge and plan for the day ahead. Grabbing a shake on the run is easy to do. |
When associates and preferred customers order their weight loss, detox or weight management products from me I also include and gym and home based full body workout for them to do. It's all tips and guidance and an added bonus to help people on their own personal journeys.
So far I have lost 5lbs, I feel great. Energy levels have actually increased and I am tired enough at the end of the day to go to bed at a decent time. It's important to make sure you get a decent long enough sleep. Recommended for adults is 8-10 hours. This is also when your body loses the most weight. The calories used while you sleep are used to sustain vital organs and repair your body ready for the next session. Sleep is important.
Here's to the next 7 days. I'm expecting bigger results next week.
