Struggling To Stay On Track With Your Weight loss? Track Your Progress Regularly

It's the beginning of the month and in our Virtual Gym that means, IT'S TIME TO TRACK OUR PROGRESS! Most people fall off track because they see a lack of progress but, most people track from day to day or week to week, but let's say, you track monthly, over the course of 6 months, that's how you can see more progress.

First of all, mindset. You have to remember that this journey is a marathon not a sprint. For most of us, this journey is going to take way longer than 2 weeks. Most of us expect to see progress in just 2 weeks. But ladies, it can take up to 4 weeks for your body to realize you are making changes and start to change. It can take up to 8 weeks for you to start seeing change and 12 weeks for other's around you to see change. But why is it then, that most people stop or get hung up within the first 21 days of the journey? Just think on that for a moment. What has gotten in your way in the past? What can you do to change that from happening. YOUR MINDSET! Allow yourself to allow things to take time to change.

What to track:
Weight
Measurements
Progress pictures of your front, side and back
Body Fat %
Commit to tracking monthly for the next 6 months

Tips for pictures: Pick a spot where you can see your entire body. Use the timer function on your camera or phone if taking the pictures by yourself or have a friend do them. Set the height to be straight on and not pointing up or down as that can alter the look of your pictures. I use a tripod for my camera, set the timer and run into position!

Tripod I use! 

I personally have been using the Fittrack Dara Smart Scale which tracks more than just you weight. You can set it for athletic mode and track your BMI, Body Fat %, body water%, Muscle Mass, Lean mass, and more! Get yours below!


In the end, Change will happen, with time! But first you have to start tracking. Most people don't want to take that first progress picture, but I promise you, DO IT! Not for now but for later so you can compare!

Oral Health For Improved Overall Heath | GIVEAWAY

Affiliate Links Included in this post

This past year I've been working hard on my overall health. It wasn't until August after realizing my hormones were out of balance and doing hours of research that I decided to take a more proactive move to stabilizing my gut heath. Yes, the gut. When your gut is out of balance, it can mess with your hormone health, digestive health and even moods. It all starts with what we put in our bodies but also, the whole process starts in our mouth. Not only from what we put in it for fuel for our bodies but also keeping it nice and clean! Oral Health!

Having good oral health allows your gut to have the healthier bacteria in it. Now, I know we all know to brush our teeth twice a day, but, let's talk about the kind of brushes to use. Our family switched to the electric toothbrushes after multiple cavities were infecting my kids teeth because they just weren't brushing their teeth well enough. And honestly the fighting and screaming from us having to do it for them, was enough. So I'm always on the lookout for the best of the best products out there.

That's why I was so excited to be sent the Caripro Ultrasonic Electric Toothbrush by Smile Brilliant! It came with its charger and 2 super soft brush heads in the box, the brush also has a built in tongue cleaner on the back of the brush head! Guys, this brush has 5 separate settings on it with varying speeds and ability from Clean, White, Massage, Gum Care, and Sensitivity. Plus it's smart with a 2 minute total run that pulses every 30 seconds to remind you to switch to a different quadrant of the mouth to brush.

The first thing I noticed using the brush was the pitch difference. I'm a musician and I can hear the difference in the pitches which relates to frequency. I compared it to my current brush and it's a 2nd and 4th higher in pitch (depending on setting) meaning it is brushing at a faster frequency, so it's moving at a faster speed than my current electric brush.

I also love the different settings options. You can truly customize your brushing to your needs! My favorite settings were sensitive and white. I had a gum graft a few years ago on my lower front teeth and I'm still super scared that I'm going to mess my gums up again because I do not want to go through that surgery again, so I've been using the sensitivity setting at least 1 time a day. I've also noticed that my teeth looked like they were brighter and freshly polished by the dentist after every use. And I'm right at that 6 month check up point with my dentist, so having that super clean look was so nice!

So if you are ready to get an electric ultrasonic toothbrush, I highly recommend the Caripro Ultrasonic Electric Toothbrush by Smily Brilliant! Want 20% off your new brush?

All About Beachbody's NEW Barre Blend Program

This post contains affiliate links 

I am so excited to share about our soon newest program. And to be completely honest, I really wasn't all that excited about it when it was announced last summer. I've done a barre class and it was good, but it wasn't my kind of workout. I like the heavy hitting intense workouts. And guys, I've done a couple of workouts now and my mind has changed. Is it a heavy hitting workout? No but honestly it is just as intense. A different kind of intense. My arms, legs and booty were on fire from the beginning of the workout until the very end. And the energy that that trainer, Elise, gives is HIGH and infectious. And I actually want to be more graceful. Cause I'm not but she says be graceful and dang it I was trying! 

People have been asking Beachbody for a Barre workout for a long time. They have delivered and this program is going to be life changing for many people!

Barre workouts are one of the hottest fitness trends and have been for years. There's lifers that praise the way the programs sculpt and tone with low impact while improving flexibility and posture.
