A Healthier Version of ME and YOU: Brazil Butt Lift Day 6 of 35

Day 6 = Bum Bum

This is when I started my day...

Ughhh...I don't like sleeping in on weekends. I guess my body needed to sleep until this time though. Sleep is SO important to your health and to reach your fitness goals. I find it has been tougher since the warmer weather rolled in in the spring, to get to bed early. I am busy doing things, going places and enjoying time with my family and the days just sometime slip away. Like today for instance...I woke up late, did my workout and ate my breakfast at about 11:15am. Totally missed my morning snack, had a late lunch, grabbed an afternoon snack and then we went out shopping. After picking up groceries, we got home late and had a late dinner. And now it's late and I should be in bed...BUT...I wanted to share today with you.

The Bum Bum workout WORKS! I can feel it in my legs and butt and a little in my abs. Today I decided to wear my running shoes instead of bare feet. Because the moves in this workout are a little more structured than in Cardio Axe, I thought it would help with my balance and form. And they did! I felt a little more stable with the lunges and squats, because they are done at a quicker tempo than the other workout programs I have done. It is totally up to you on what you wear to workout in. As long as it's practical and comfortable.

I took a picture of my abs today to show you that hard work does pay off, and that more work is needed to be done...

The ripple above my belly button is FAT, and that FAT must be shredded. My abs must go from FAT & FLAB to PHAT and FAB. I know there is a six pack in there somewhere. I WILL find it and show it to you all. I am not showing off in any way, but rather, showing you what hard work and determination can do for your body, and for your mind. When you look good, you feel good, and when you feel good about yourself, you look even better. And I'm telling you now, I am feeling GREAT! It doesn't happen over night, but as I said, sleep is SO important, and some transformation will happen through the night, but not just one night.

Here is one 6 Pack that can be bought to help you get your six pack...

It's the 6 Pack Fitness cooler bag.

It will help you travel with all your healthy foods so you have no excuses to eat crap while you are on the go. This is the smaller cooler bag, the Duras 300, but it's not small by any means. It comes with 2 gel packs, 3 meal containers and a top tray for bars and supplements(or whatever you want to put in there).

There are two side pockets for your water bottles and shakes. A larger bag is available as well, the Duras 500...check out the website for more information http://www.sixpackbags.com/ I plan on taking this with me at holiday time in August. Order online, or if you live in the Kitchener/Waterloo area, you can find them at Popeye's Supplements Waterloo.

I noticed on facebook today that a friend of mine, Cassandra, also got herself a 6 Pack Fitness cooler bag. She got the one with the pink trim(I'm a bit jealous). So cool! LOVE IT!

Today's food...

Breakfast: Green and White Omelet with Salsa

This one is very similar to the omelet I had the other day. The BBL meal plan called for 1 slice of toast, but I did not want to eat it, as I have been trying to stay clear of bread this past week.

Lunch: Grilled Salmon with Asparagus and Tomato

I added a little Pesto Parmesan Salad Dressing to the asparagus...Yum!

Snack: Sweet Potato Crisps/Phat Healthy Bar/Peach Smoothie

While were still at home I tried to fill in for the missed morning snack. I grabbed a bag of sweet potato crisps that I made and my daughter and I shared it. Sharing one of these servings is not much, so I decided to have one of my Phat Healthy Bars. I ate half of it before we went out, and the other when we came back.

There was WAY too much sugar in that smoothie but it was refreshing.

Dinner: Grilled Sole served with Peaches and Cream Corn on the Cob and Snap Peas

The corn was really good tonight.

The last time we had corn it was rather tasteless, but tonight's corn was perfect.

Well that concludes my day of food. Tomorrow is Rest Day, which really translates to WORK MY A$$ OFF DAY. I think I will change my name to Cinderella.
