Get Fit Challenge: 60 Days To A New You

I am not one to make New Year's resolutions when it comes to fitness because I have maintained a relatively active lifestyle since I was 18. Every now and again, I fall off just like everyone else and go back to my bad eating habits with little to no exercise. Those of you that work-out on a regular basis can agree with me when I say it's difficult getting back into the groove of things once you've fallen off.

I don't need an invite to escape the hustle and bustle of my busy work life, so when the opportunity came to visit Las Vegas, I was all over it, until panic began to set in at the mere thought of bearing it all in a bikini, hence why I am challenging myself to 60 days of eating clean and training ~~dirty~~ hard just in time for my getaway. I must admit, I am far from an expert when it comes to weight loss, but research has shown losing weight is 80% diet and 20 % exercise, so eating healthy is a big part of weight loss and being fit.

This is what my workout/ meal plan is going to look like.

WORKOUT PLAN

I plan to work out 5 days a week, every week for the next 8 weeks

Monday: 5km run / Stair Master /free weights
Tuesday: Day off
Wednesday: Kickboxing Class
Thursday: 5km run / 30 minute Circuit Training
Friday: Hot Yoga

Saturday: Weight lifting Class

GROCERY LIST

My meal plan will include 3 meals a day + 4 snacks. Breakfast will always be a protein shake with fruits, while lunch and dinner will be choosen from the list below just to name a few

Chicken breast
Salmon
Tuna
Avocado
Spinach
Asparagus
Brown rice

Kale

Pomegranate
Chickpea
Quinoa
Bell Peppers

Couscous
Snap Pea
Yogurt
Almonds
Oatmeal
Eggs

Celery
Cucumber
Blueberries
Sweet Potato

I am not following any weight loss plan in particular, but rather, a plan structured to my lifestyle. My goal for this challenge is to achieve a leaner, stronger body, while shedding a few pounds.

Get motivated and join me on this challenge because : " 6 months from now you'll wish you had started today".

If you guys have any suggestions/tips, please feel free to leave them in the comment section.

Good luck with this challenge, Joyce! Being more fit is always an admirable goal :) I've been active since I was little, but now that I'm an adult and structure my own fitness, rather than having a gymnastics coach or dance teacher to push me, I find it much easier to fall off the wagon - and even a few days can make a difference! But a few days can also make a positive difference, remember that when things get tough :)
