Squat Challenge

Today marks day 25 of the squat challenge. Whew! 220 today! That's a lot of squats. I have noticed a difference also! Pretty stoked! :) But damn 220 is a lot to do after a rest day. But thank goodness for rest day! 

The first question everyone keeps asking.... "Do you do them all at once?" HELL NO! Haha! Y'all remember I'm not in shape at all right? This is a whole new thing for me... Getting fit and working out. I break them up throughout the day. Usually I'm sets of 10 when I go to the restroom. Which is a lot of visits since I'm drinking a lot of water. (I'm also wearing heels too!) When I'm home I do sets of 20 or 30. I'm usually trying get them over with because there are so many it seems like a chore! Haha! I really like doing them but damn once you get above 150 and realize you have a lot more waiting it seems like a million squats. Day 25... Seemed impossible 25 days ago... I kept thinking.. Holy crap.. How in the hell am I going to do 250 squats?

 I'm proud to say I haven't skipped a day or slacked off once. I've wanted to yes... But I haven't. The old Meg would have but she's gone. I'm accountable for my actions and have people joining me on this journey. 

For everyone who has started the squat challenge with me keep it up!! Don't skip a day or slack off. Also don't over do it!!! I promise you'll be fine if you stick with the original challenge! Most of you all starting the squat challenge really haven't been very active lately or super fit and not in shape. Newbies like me!! :) 

Strawberry Kiwi Smoothie!

This smoothie was yummy and creamy! I don't always add Greek yogurt and almond milk to my smoothies...I usually just add good ole H2O! But today called for some strawberry Greek yogurt.

This bag along with all the other ones I prepped was waiting to be picked out of the freezer this morning. I open the freezer door some mornings and feel a little overwhelmed by which bag to choose!! Silly I know but I have caught myself trading bags because I wasn't sure about the first bag I plucked from the freezer. They will all be used eventually but some stand out more to me than others! ;)

•Strawberry Kiwi Smoothie•

• 4 whole strawberries (I leave the little leaves on because it all blends and it's less trouble sometimes.)

• 1 kiwi (no fur)

• Handful of spinach

• 2 pineapple chunks

• Spoonful of chai seeds

• 1 large spoonful of strawberry Greek yogurt

• 1 cup of water or almond milk (I prefer water... But that's me) 

•Blend blend blend and bust out 10 squats while waiting!!!

As you can tell from the picture everything is in the large Magic Bullet cup. I ended up adding more water because I hate mine super think and chunky! Blah! 

           The lucky bag of the day!!

Instead of standing around waiting for your smoothie to finish up... Bust out some squats! You can do at least 20-30 while waiting! Get them in while you can! :) 

Squats Day 3!

Yeah... I'm sore! Today is Monday which means back to work for me and heels! I had to give my thighs a prep talk this morning before putting on these peep toe pumps! Legs don't fail me now!!! Walking around the funeral home I know I look like someone who has never walked in heels before... Wobble wobble! But being the bad ass that I am I busted out 10 squats in the bathroom with my heels on! Oh snap! Watch out booty! 20 squats finished for the day... 40 more to go!! 

I'm so excited to feel the burn and feel the love and support from everyone joining the #squatsquad challenge! Day 3 is here and tomorrow is REST DAY!!! 

Keep up the good work and keep squatting! 

Squat Challenge Starts Today!!!

Y'all ready to squat??? June 1st is here and it's time to start the 30 Day Squat Challenge!!  I did 25 squats while making my smoothie this morning! See not hard at all! We've got this! Sexy ass here I come!!! Get to squatting!!! 

Day 1- 50 squats 

Smoothie Queen!

A lot of people have been asking what I put in my smoothies and can you really not taste the spinach! I swear to you all I cannot taste any spinach at all! 

I started the smoothie kick last week and I'm in love with them! They look nasty and green but they taste amazing! This week I decided to go simple and cheap being on a budget. I bought 2 cartons of strawberries 2 for $5, a pre cut pineapple for $2.99, 2 green apples for $1.89 and a bag of spinach for $2.50. I cut everything up and started the weekly prep for my smoothies. With everything I bought I was able to pack 20 sandwich baggies. Which is awesome since I started drinking one for lunch also. 20 meals for around $13 is pretty dang good! High five for my money saving skills! 

Oh and I love my Magic Bullet!!! 

Operation New Body!

Today marks 182 days until I become Mrs. Rogers! I am getting healthy and fit and creating a new me! 

Lets start with my problem... I love food and I loved Coca Cola! And my lovely fiancé eats like complete crap! I blame his horrible eating habits and influence on my weight gain! Haha! Just kidding I did this to myself! But the fella eats nothing but junk and weights 157 pounds... Barf! 

When we started dating 3 1/2 years ago I weighed 178 pounds. December 2012 I reached my higher weight gain at 233!! I shed a tear every time I think about how much I've gained. I started getting really strict recently with getting healthy and fit! Why now start getting serious?? Oh you know I have 6 months until I say "I do" on the beach in St. Thomas,Virgin Islands. ON THE BEACH!! Which means I'll be in baiting suits also! Eeek! 

Welcome to my journey of getting healthy for me before I change my last name.
