It’s been seven months since we set our wedding date. Asides
from taking our new puppy on long walks through the trail, my work out routine
and diet has been non-existent. For an athlete nearly my entire life and a
former five day a week workout fiend, that was unacceptable to me! I’m not sure
if the realization that we leave for our destination wedding in 90 days finally
hit me or I was just tired of excuses, either way I was ready to take control
and get healthy.
I did not care to rejoin a gym. The fact they basically ask
for your life in exchange for a membership was not something I wanted to get
into again. My new elliptical that sat in a spider-filled basement was off
limits. I felt my old routines of dumbbells and bands was getting me nowhere.
Running out of options, I decided to give Burr Ridge Kettlebell Club (BRKC) a
try. After all, I did help them with their marketing.
I met with Paul as he
would with any new consultation. He started off by having me write down my
goals.
- Have more energy
- Sleep better
- Lose body fat
- Look great for my wedding!
Although I really wanted my number four goal to be number
one, I decided how I felt is more important than how I looked.
Paul and I sat down and discussed a 90 day plan that
included diet and exercise. He took my measurements and some pictures to help
document my progress.
Diet: I choose a juicing diet combined with high
protein. Check out this great first
juicing recipe I created! (see my favorite recipes!)
