30 Days and counting: THE 30 DAY WRAP UP!!!! HOLLA!!!!!!!!

Ok people the wait is over, the stats are in, the pictures are loaded (yikes)!!! It has been one heck of a long month in some ways, but has gone by really fast in others. I am so glad to be done and OH SO glad that I did it!!! I finally kicked that baby weight in the ass!!! Now to work on that ass and get it a bit higher and firmer, but that will be chapter two.

For now I am enjoying my day OFF working out, yay, but it felt really strange to not get up to work out today. I will REALLY be enjoying my pizza party tonight with my family, because oh cheese and pizza how I missed you sooooo!!! But then it will be back to work. My plan is to do the Omni series, as it is music to my ears that it is a ONE HOUR workout. I will be eating kind of like I did during the last month but with a bit more wiggle (and giggle) room. I just can't have the all consuming diet plan keep going. I think I have shifted enough in my eating habits that I can keep things toned down on a daily basis, but if I want to go out to dinner or make braised short ribs, I will. I only have a few pounds I really wish to kiss off and then work on toning up the rest. I will keep things posted here on my stage 2 progress. I am hooked on TAM and so glad that I found it and committed, because clearly this baby weight was not going to magically come off.

I don't want to bore you with the insights I gained through this experience, but there were many. I encourage anyone considering this bootcamp to go for it. I did it the best I could with some cheats and substitutions all over the place but I feel I got significant changes that would not have happened without this structure to work from. I am certain I would have lost more and toned more if I adhered to every detail and added more reps and did 40+ mins of cardio, but I really couldn't do too much more than 2 hours of exercise with work and kids and life. The previous days blogs go into detail of what I ate and the amount of daily exercise i did in case you want to see that.

So here it is, the results of a mom of 2 that hadn't ever dieted, or worked out in too many months to count until a month ago when the light finally went on:
