eeeeeeekk!!! LETS DO THIS!!!I grabbed the Hammer & Chisel Program when it was just released back in early December and I am SO ready to start this! So many Christmas goodies, dinners, drinks and treats !! Fresh new year and fresh new 60 day program to take us into the summer. Time to kick butt with this and whip this booty back into gear!
I've heard personally from some others in our company who were part of the test group before this program was released to the public and here are their results.
Nothing like opening a fresh new program and reading all the material to get you excited. I KNOW this program will give people amazing results. I volunteer to be your test dummy and show you what this can do!
I know that after all the cheats and treats I have had this past month, I am ready to really zone in on my nutrition. I want to wipe the slate clean and give this 100%. With past programs, I have noticed that my body really doesn't not change unless I am completely on par with my nutrition so here's to 60 days of fueling my body the very best way I can.
NUTRITION - I have sat down, read over the nutrition plan completely. Right at the beginning of the book there is the nutrition plan quiz. You know that's the most important part of this whole thing if they put it right at the beginning. So I sat down and did the quiz. It asks about your lifestyle, current weight, goal and then you find out from that calculation which nutrition plan you need to follow for your goals.
I will be following PLAN A for the next 60 days, and I have shared the nutrition plan in a link below. I will also let you know how this program is each week with a review and following weeks' nutrition plan if you'd like to follow along.
My husband will be doing this along with me he is also super pumped about this. He was feeling really good with BodyBeast but the holidays have taken us off track, like so many of us!
I have included my week #1 nutrition plan here. When I don't plan, I fail - and usually fail miserably!! It's because when I don't have a plan, I grab quick fixes. And quick fixes lead me into trouble. So here is my plan to succeed:::
SCHEDULE - so like all programs, there is a specific schedule to follow. This is important so that you give different muscles a break and that you get enough weight lifting vs. cardio sessions in a week. I will include the schedule with my meal plans so you can follow along as well with which one we're doing.
EQUIPMENT - Some things you will need are:
- bench or stability ball
- weights (heavy and light)
- resistance band
- chin up bar or bands with door attachment
- beach body core mat or yoga mat
- chin up max (if needed)
AND those beautiful before and after photos and measurements
A crucial part of all this. (also the least fun)
Taking those photos today was sad to be honest. It was hard to see the bloat back from over the holidays. BUT these are going to be my breakup photos and measurements. It's giving me that much more of a reason to stick to this.
The photos aren't fun to do especially after falling off track for but I find that the photos and the measurements really keep me motivated!
From experience, some weeks I wouldn't notice change on the scale at all, but then I would take photos and measurements and I could compare and could SEE that yes, this was working. If I didn't take those starting point measurements or photos I would get frustrated and give up, but at least this way I can see that yes, my body is changing and it IS working. It's always important to see how far you've come. It will be your starting point, not ending point.

But I've got them tucked away for later.
