Wait...What?!?

So I haven't posted about fitness in a LONG time...like so long I'm kinda embarrassed.

Well, Here's the truth.

I haven't been working out. I haven't been eating well. And I was in a pretty deep funk. I knew that I wasn't making good choices and I didn't really care. But...the hard work I had been putting in was slowly slipping away and I began to see and feel the repercussions of my choices. I felt crummy, my swim suit didn't look the way I wanted and I wasn't happy.

So, I gave my self a reality check and decided NO MORE. I have no excuse not to workout. I have a whole room in my house set up for it and it wasn't being used. I have a library of workouts to choose form at home and online. I can literally stream a workout anywhere. I can choose not to eat junk, and not to even have it in my house.

Have I been perfect? Heck no. On Sunday the hubby and I went to brunch after church and I splurged and had some amazing huevos racheros and a gluten free chocolate chip cookie. It was amazing! But, I've worked out the past 4 days, and I plan on keeping up my schedule so it will stick with me through the school year.

I'm currently doing the 21 day fix extreme and am hoping to see some inches lost and muscles gained! I know this program works (if I put in the work!) and I am hoping to share my journey here and on my Instagram page...so stay tuned :)

For now,
Kari

I fell off the wagon...

The hashtag #thestruggleisreal is no joke with this girl right now. I've been a big fat lazy bones this week and I can FEEL it. My eating was okay, but not stellar and I had too many treats and WAY too much dairy. Time to start over. Time to get back on the wagon instead of running behind trying to catch up. Starting Monday this girl is back on 21 day fix extreme and I'm going to try out the bikini competition plan. That means cutting carbs out a few days a week... It's gonna be a challenge but because summer apparently starts in March in Oregon now, this girl has to up her game.


Starting this coming weekend I am hosting a free 7 day "Cut the Crud" challenge. I have a meal plan, shopping list and mini workouts read to go and all you have to do is show up with your A game and be ready to get back on track with me! I am right here with you and ready to ditch the junk and start those healthy habits back up.

We all mess up from time to time. We have to forgive, forget, and move on. We are human after all and sometimes things like Juanitas {CRACK CHIPS} and salsa happen... Not that a splurge isn't a good thing, but too many splurges then become habit.

Interested in trying this out?? What do you have to lose? Come join us and let's get that wagon ROLLING!! Shoot me a comment below with your email, or send me one at karielliottfitness@gmail.com and I'll get you started!!

For now,

21 day fix...EXTREME

It's not secret that I LOVE the 21 day fix. It's the program I started with last spring and it's one I can always go back to if I need a little reminder of what my glutes feel like or if I need to remember what my portions should look like.

While doing the refresh, I decided to go back to my 21 day fix containers for eating. I need the accountability and the portion control. I'm excited to get back on track. I tend to go through phases when I just get lazy and don't work to make sure my nutrition I in check. A HUGE part of losing weight and living a healthy life is what you eat. I'm not perfect, I plan a weekly splurge meal (it's usually date night) and eat whatever I want. I know I need to do this because otherwise I end up splurging more often. I strive for 80% clean and 20% not so clean.

 If i wasn't already doing P90X3, I would be doing a round of the 21 day fix right now. Why? Because the 21 day fix extreme comes out next month. It's something I am CRAZY excited about trying, especially because spring and summer are slowly sneaking up on us. One of my goals this year is to be as healthy as I can, this includes the being in the best physical shape of my life. I know that P90X3 will be amazing for helping me push towards that goal, and even though I could easily drop it and do the new 21 day fix extreme, I've been a HUGE program hopper lately, and I am determined to finish this one. My reward? Not food, not clothes, but a new workout program! 

If I can't do this program myself, I want to live vicariously through my followers. It's sure to be a huge hit and get you where you want to be! It doesn't matter if you've done the fix already, or are just starting out. This is a GAME CHANGER!!
