Every Other Day Diet Lifestyle Plan-Day-4

Hi, this is Angie here…yes, I am BACK!! I know I’ve kinda disappeared from the ’scene’ for a bit, sorry I’ve been totally putting my focus towards achieving my ISSA certificate as a “Certified Personal Trainer” It’s been such an exciting journey so far! I have decided to leave my job that I was at for the past 9 years. It’s been a HUGE adjustment in a positive way. I love learning about health and fitness and especially applying different techniques whether that be in the form of food habits and/or weight training.

I am currently following the Every Other Day Diet – Lifestyle Plan. I am on Day 4. This has been the perfect challenge for me. I am a busy mom. I have two young children. Shayne is 6 and Noelle is 4. I find that with this plan I am not too restricted in such a way that I CAN allow myself to bake the desserts WITH my kids on the ‘feed days’ (every third day) and we can enjoy our ‘treat’ together!
For me, the number one reason I wanted to do this was to challenge myself more. I really want to burn more fat and get more defined, especially in my thighs! I am not overweight. I am satisfied with my body…for lack of a better word. I have never really challenged myself to see if I can sculpt it better!

I want that look…you know what I mean…the defined legs and calves! I must also admit that I do have my fair share of ‘dimples’ in my thighs too! So if I can make a change and if that change is not going to totally alter my everyday routine and I can still have my ‘treat’ days… and most importantly I will be shedding unwanted body fat, increasing my lean muscle mass, and thereby becoming a much more healthier and energetic person…what am I waiting for?! I must ask you too…what are you waiting for?
My most difficult moments are when I do bake a ‘dessert’ and I have my share on my ‘feed’ day and then the leftovers are just sitting there. For some reason those desserts seem to look better and more scrumptuous with each passing minute! Also, at night is when I want my snacks…now I have my detox meal. I have a huge salad with lots of veggies and onions. I am actually getting used to this quite fast. I then brush my teeth and I don’t crave anything else.
I really love onions so I have lots of those in my salad with just a bit of dressing. Poor Scott says he can smell the onions before even coming close to me! Needless to say he’s been staying away! I think that having only a healthy salad at night is going to be a huge contributing factor to my fat loss.
I have following The Fit Chic workouts. I love working out. I always have. I find it clears my mind and gives me a TON of energy! It’s my natural endorphin pill.
I actually find I get very irritable when I don’t work out. After a good, hard work out I feel like a new, and refreshed person. My workouts are very quick. This is how I like it. I have a few dumbbells in our basement, a bench, and some physio balls. I put on some uplifting cardio music and away I go. There are no distractions! Just me and the weights! I love it:) I am done is about 20-25 min.
I’m looking forward to sharing this journey with you.

Ang! You look friggin great! Wow! I miss ya at work! ;(
Good for you..you have the willpower I crave. And congrats with pursuing your certificate! I’m thinking the same thing you are..I’m feelin pretty good these days, been doing something VERY similar to what your man suggests! I would like to step it up a notch though..esp. in my legs! What is it with that?! My stomach isn’t as sweet-lookin as yours, but what can I say, I love all food!
Lemme know how it goes and what you’re up to, I’d love to hear from you!
Ciao for now! Margie
Hi Marg…nice to hear from you! /Wow I didn’t expect this!! Thank you, I feel great! I miss you and a select few from work…he,he you know what I mean! I really do miss the conversations and all the laughs that go on there…however this is a new chapter for me and I’m having a lot of fun with it. I’ll keep you posted on my progress, keep checking in. Once I’m certified I’ll be doing 20 min. work out sessions and my dream is to do outdoor ‘bootcamp’ style cardio sessions. I cannot wait for that! Well take care Marg, miss you too, Angie
Hi Angie!
Normally I message Scott so first I’d like to say I love reading your posts and it is so nice to get to hear about your journey. Scott’s great and all but being a woman, it’s great to read a woman’s journey too. I’m really enjoying this so I hope you keep it up.
My fiancee is getting ready to sign up for the same course that you are doing through ISSA as well. It has always been his dream and he has always dreamed of owning his own fitness center. I finally got tired of hearing him complain about how much he hates his job as a truck driver (local) and wishes he could change his career. So, I asked him what is stopping you from following your dreams. He didn’t think it was possible but he’s going to do it. I’ve been seriously considering doing myself. I love the whole fitness field and have been learning so much, so why not do somehting you love for work.
So, what do you think of the course? Did you find it easy or was it hard? Any words of advice for us to help prepare us?
I wish you the best of luck in following your dreams.
Hi Christie, thank you for the encouragement regarding the ISSA course. I am really enjoying it! I have to admit that I am finding the biology part of it difficult. I have not taken any science courses since High School and that was a long time ago! However, they have an amazing support team if you have any questions. From the research I did, I thought that this course was the best one out there in terms of depth of knowledge in the field that you learn. They actually mail you the exam (I am doing the Home Study course option) , so you are totally aware of what you need to know. You have 2 years to complete the course. I am really happy with it so far. I am just about done reading through the entire book and now it’s time for me to really prepare for the exam. It’s easy to read the material, but totally different to take it and apply it properly. I’m sure you know what I mean. Well, I wish you and your fiancee the best of luck! Go for it, if that is his dream… don’t look back, only forward and keep learning!
Best wishes,
Angie
Hi again Ang! Hope you and your family are doing well.
I wanted to ask you a few questions, esp. concerning ISSA! You got me interested..
If you can please email me back at my email address, that’d be great!
Hope to talk soon ;D
