Core De Force: Week 2

 

 

Week 2 was a success!! My core has gotten stronger...and my overall cardio fitness has improved. I made the decision to repeat the second week to get more comfortable with the moves before continuing on. Drinking Energize prior to working out has allowed me not to tire as quickly. 

 

Although the scale has not moved a much as I would have hoped by this point...I have lost inches which is great! I try not to measure my success by a number on a scale but rather on how I FEEL and how my clothes fit. I have to admit there have been several times I indulged a bit...but overall I am working hard to stay on track with my nutrition. 

 



 



So let's review Week 2! If you missed my Week 1 review...click HERE to read! I mentioned my connection with Martial Arts in my previous post. I came across three pictures that I wanted to share with all of you. They touch my heart.

I continue to drink my Shakeology daily and it gives me all the nutrients my body needs to be strong and healthy. Spending a bit of time each week meal prepping for my week ahead also helps me keep my nutrition on track.
