Gavin is 1 !!

I just love photographing this family...they are so beautiful, not to mention super fun!  Mackenzie and Gavin are sooooo stinking cute!!  Here are a few family photos by the pond and, of course, some of Gavin's very own.

Now Gavin did a GREAT job for it being a late afternoon, HOT session...so he did have a bit of a time toward the end with his cake smash.  But I don't blame him!  haha!

 



21 Day Fix Round 2

I've have always been a calorie counter until I started 21 day fix.  It's not that I don't watch them now, but I watch them less because I'm eating healthier.  I could always stay at 1200 calories a day, but I was still eating tons of sodium and preservatives.  Now I eat about 1500-1700 calories of way better foods, hardly any preservatives and very little sodium.  WHAT a difference!!! 

 

Now with that being said, this second round of 21 Day Fix didn't go quite as planned.  I did do workouts everyday, but I did not follow the container plan as well as I did the first round.  I blame this on my lack of prep work for my 2 sets of 3 days in a row at ACH.  I found myself relying on cafeteria food more often in this round than the first because I had prepped less. 

 

So what does that mean...it means that nutrition has A LOT to do with your success. Not to say I'm disappointed in my 2nd round results...I could have very well stopped, given up or plateaued.  But I also think I could have done better...which means round 3 is back to 80-100% nutrition plan!!!

I have also continued my love for Shakeology...talk about satisfying.  When I make snickerdoodle or Reeces flavored shakeo, I don't need the real thing and I'm full for hours!!  Another round to go and another month of Shakeology!  If you are interested in this program or other from Beachbody, please facebook me or check out my Beachbody site at www.teambeachbody.com/audram333

Round 2: 2.8lbs and 3 inches lost.

 Not a huge difference between round 1 and 2 with a top on, but there is a bit of difference with my sports bra.  Not quite ready to share that one with everyone...hahaha!



Ferguson 2014

I have had the privilege of working with both Jarod and Jessica at ACH.  They came over to have some family photos done yesterday and their smallest, Brayden wasn't quite ready for the excitement. He is so super cute it's hard to take a bad picture of him, though!  Logan and Addie were troopers!!  This family is growing by 1 in November and I'm just so happy for them.  I look forward to doing some more for them, hopefully with a happier Brayden!! 

 

 

 



In love with this program!!! My Before and After pictures for 21 Day Fix

Ok, the brand name threw me off a bit: Beachbody.  I am not looking for a beach body (though now I think I may just get there), but just to look better in clothes and a one-piece bathing suit.  I've seen several of my friends using certain Beachbody workout programs, so I finally started asking and I'm so glad I did...it's a pretty great life changer!!

 

So not to put down other programs, but I've done a lot and have learned there is no quick fix.  You have to put effort into losing weight, but it always help when you start seeing the results quickly to keep ya going, right? 

 

The 21 Day Fix has been just that program...3 weeks!!!  Within the first week you will see changes, but by week 3 you will be amazed.  I'm 10lbs down and a total of 9.75 inches lost.  I'm so excited because I can keep this up, it's doable!!  The workouts are fun and quick...30 minutes!  The eating plan makes sense.  No counting calories, but more of learning portion control and the right foods to eat to keep you full and give you energy.  So I told myself, "do it right for 3 weeks and if you don't see results or you're not happy then go back to what you were doing."  Well before the 21 days was up, I was hooked.

 

I also incorporated Shakeology.  You don't have to use it, but give it a chance...it's good and there are tons of recipes to make its taste sooooo yummy.  I, for one, add spinach to get a serving of veggies in without even thinking about it. 

 

So here's my results:

 

Sorry for the crappy mirror pictures, but I'm horrible a self portraits.  At first I was glad the flash covered my face, but I'm certainly proud of my progress now!  Next round I will show my face and take a better pic!    If you are interested in knowing more...let me know!!
