Day 2

Today I dipped my damp toothbrush in the charcoal and brushed away. :)
I'll work on better lighting :)

Teeth Whitening

I'm all for whiter teeth! Recently I was going through old pictures on Fb and realized coffee (and smoking) has done a number on my pearly.... Yellows? While I've quit smoking, I am not at all interested in giving up my liquid crack but I want blinding white teeth. I know I know, you can't have your cake and eat it too right? Or in this case... Coffee. Or can you??
Recently there's been a lot of hype about activated charcoal. Its had some good reviews and I'm down to look like the creature from the black lagoon! (I'll explain that in a moment).

So I took my experimental booty to sprouts and got some activated charcoal. 100 capsules for $9.98.

Your options are:
1: make a kind of mouth wash solution. 1 capsule + 1tbs water.
Brush teeth with regular toothpaste then  use solution like a mouthwash. Swish around for about 30 seconds and then hold in front of your mouth on teeth.. If that makes sense. Hold it there for 3-5 mins. Then spit and rinse. It looks gnarly I know but it won't stain so no worries there. :)

2. Dip wet toothbrush in powder and brush teeth with it.

3: put toothpaste on toothbrush then dip in powder and brush teeth.

I chose do to the solution for day 1.
I will continue this once a day for a week and post before n afters at the end of the week. Here is day 1. I noticed a difference but I might just be excited. :)

Now you see what I meant about looking like the creature from the black lagoon.  

21 day fix

So I've completed my 2nd program with Beachbody! I'm on a roll!! I guess its true what they say, once you see results you're hooked! Well this program is called "21 day fix." It is a portion control meal planning program with a killer fitness program. The workouts are all 30mins and focus on specific things like, upper body, lower body, cardio, yoga.... etc. The workouts are a little easier than T25 workouts mostly because you do a move for a minute and then get a 15 second break between moves.
So 21 days with Autumn Calabrese and I dropped 5lbs and 9.5inches. :) I've taken a week off and will be doing round 2 starting Monday!!

T25 results

Well... here there are! I'm not so proud of the Beta results because I slacked off on my diet and didn't workout at all the week before this photo. It was spring break and I allowed that to be my excuse but I wanted to be honest so these are my results and I know I could have done better.

New program!!

Hi all...
So I started the 21 day fix. I am on day 4 and I'm doing this with my step mom who has decided she's done feeling crappy and is committing to health. I couldn't be more proud of her. She has successfully completed all workouts so far and is sticking to the diet plan. She's even pushed me when I wanted to say screw it n have some chocolate. We're in this together and I'm super stoked for day 21 to see her hard work pay off! :)
On another note.... I will post my T25 beta after pics soon. (I have no computer so its making picture posting a bit of a challenge). :)
