ChaLEAN and Shakeology - Week 5 and new pics!

YAY! I had my hubby take some new pics today and I was sooo surprised! It's amazing how different we see ourselves in the mirror! That's why I HIGHLY encourage taking before and after photos and measurements, and don't rely on the scale! I finished the first phase - BURN - of ChaLEAN and started Phase 2 - PUSH. I really liked burn, but I LOVE PUSH! It drops down to slloooowww reps of 6-8 reps! Now that is my kind of lifting!!! Give it 100%, and you will see results! I was also doing Brazil Butt Lift, but haven't had time to throw that back in since my trip to NY. But I was seeing results, and it was fun. My friend ordered Hip Hop Abs and we are looking to trade, so I am excited to try that.

After my trip to NY - enjoying cheesecake and pizza, and then a church party, and dinner at Applebee's with my parents, I put a few lbs on :P So I decided to try the Shakeology cleanse system. 3 days, 3 shakes, then a dinner of lean protein, salad, olive oil and flax seed. I started at 156.4. This morning I was at 152.0 :D Back to where I was before NY - plus my BF is down to 18%! www.myshakeology.com/candiceekberg

So over the last 4-5 weeks, I have dropped 4 lbs(1 lb a week - right on track) Increased my chest a .5" (LOL need all the help I can get there, but that is muscle!) -.5" off my waist, -1" off my abdomen, -.75" off my hips an 1/2" off my thigh, +.25" my bicep, and remained the same on my calve. I also decreased my BF% from 20.2% - 18.4% (this is done by a hand held BIA, since I can't caliper myself. :) Can I just say I LOVE ChaLEAN and Shakeology!!!

My HCG Story

I want to share my experience :)

I have always been athletic, but on the heavy side – all through out HS and college I was between 205-225. I did track and field in college as a thrower, and recieved my B.S. in Exercise & Sport Science. When I graduated in 2005 – I continued to work as a personal trainer in a high end gym in Draper, UT. I loved being in the gym and talking to and helping others, but for my self, I was burnt out. For 5 years and 2 children, I didn’t do much of anything.

When we moved to our new town, people would ask me what I do for work. When I’d tell them I was a personal trainer, I’d get the up down like, “serious?” Then one day it dawned on me – I WAS A HYPOCRIT! How could I tell people what to eat, when I ate what ever. How could I take people through workouts, when I couldnt even do them? Tragedy!

So, November 1st of last year, I went on a sugar detox and lost 10lbs and felt tons better. But I still needed to start working out. A week before the New Year, I recruited some family, friends, and clients to join me in a Body for Life challenge. 12 weeks later, I rekindled my love for working out, and had lost another 20lbs fat, while adding on 5lbs muscle.

About this point, Jerry, a friend I work on the ambulance with, approached me, asking me what I thought about HCG. With my background, like everyone else - closed minded, I passed on it, thinking how crazy it was. I had decided to do a second round of BFL, but after a 6 week plataue, I was frustrated. I tried changing some things up, and no results. I had never worked harder for something, and I was stuck! It was at this point I started contemplating HCG. I alsot started getting family and friends asking about it, and wanting to know more. It was then that I decided to look into it.

I read through all the materials, did some research online, and talked to my family doctor. Just like everyone else, something sparked when reading the material… like it was talking to me! I decided to give it a go – round 1, I lost 27 lbs, in 32 days! I got all the way down to 165! I had never been that low in my life!!! Even though I maintained the 165, after the summer and a couple of vacations, I decided to give it another shot – 153! Another new low! In all of my back ground/training, I have never seen anything work so efficiently and fast.

I was a thrower because I hated running, but now it feels great! I love how I feel when I work out, and how intune I am with what foods make me feel good or bad. I have since had many clients/friends/family on it, and love sharing in their success. While it has been dubed another ‘yoyo diet’ – it works! If you chose to go back to your old habits, of course you will gain it back, but if you follow the protocol, change your lifestyle, and start exercising, you can enjoy your results for a long time to come! It is now Febuary 2011, and I am still at 153-155 lbs!!! :D I am now a Beachbody coach, and utilize their programs and product to keep me fit. I am in the best shape of my life, and have absolutely no intention of ever going back to that miserable feeling! Happy Losing everyone!
