For context, in the past I have completed the original P90X program as well as T25, which are also both Beachbody deals. P90X was awesome, but the workouts could be anywhere from 45 minutes to 1.5 hours every day & as a teacher with a fast-paced, busy life, I couldn't commit. I did it during the summer while I was off, but come September it just wasn't possible any longer.
P90X3 is only 30 minutes a day & it is a fun mix of cardio, weights, stretching/yoga & strength. It encourages an all-over body fitness.
I also started drinking some Shakeology (also a Beachbody product) which has tons of protein and vitamins! I realize that someone reading this might say "oh that's bad for you" or "that's not regulated by the FDA", but I did my research, I talked with my doctor & I am confident that it is actually amazing for ME. That doesn't mean that it will be a good fit for everyone.
Along with these things, I have been cleaning up my eating habits. Yes, I still have moments of not-so-healthy choices - chips are my weakness. I enjoy veggies & lean meats, but I get bored. I've learned to make homemade dressings, homemade seasonings & lots of other fun add-ons for meals that when pre-packaged are full of yucky ingredients. I love cleaning up my food choices!
Here are some of my favourite healthy eats, all on a fun Pinterest board. Not everything on this board is healthy, some of the things are from before. My favourite things are Chia Pudding, Balsamic Chicken & Pita Pizza.
All of these things contribute to a healthy lifestyle, which to me is linked directly with beauty. My hair is shiny, my nails are long and strong, my skin is clear & I have tons of energy. I also have a flatter tummy & some wicked looking upper arms. I don't feel the need to work nearly as hard to maintain my skin or my hair these days, because everything is smooth and even and wonderful!
How do you feel about fitness & beauty? Let me know!
Cheers,
Kait
