Overweight and Unhappy? http://overweightandunhappy.com It doesn't have to be that way...

With only 5 hours of 2011 left, I am yet to decide on my new year’s resolutions (where did that time go???), but I do plan to sit down tomorrow and write out my intentions for 2012.

I reflect back on the last year and I realise that I have grown (mentally, not physically!) a LOT! I have learned so much and my life looks nothing like it did 12 months ago. Thank goodness!

2012 is already shaping up to be an amazing year and I can’t wait!

What are your intentions for 2012? If you haven’t done so already, write them down. And once you’ve written them down, write out the steps you will take to achieve what you want to achieve!

Next stick it somewhere so you can see it every single day! Daily reminders come in very handy! ;)

I’m off now to begin my celebrations, so I would like to take this opportunity to wish you a happy and safe new year and I’ll be back soon!!

While some people say that no, you should not have protein with every meal to lose fat, others are saying you definitely need protein with every meal!

My ex hubby was a body builder (where muscle building and fat loss was key), and the Fit Yummy Mummy ladies are proof that yes, by all means each meal should include protein if you want to burn body fat!

And here’s more on this topic:

  1. Not working hard enough during the “highs” – can you still talk during these peak periods?
  2. Not resting during the “downs” – this is your REST period!
  3. Lack of or too much variety

Here are my stats:

Weight: 56.4kg/124.1 pounds
Size: 8-10 (Australian sizes)
Hips: 37 inches/94cm
Waist: 30 inches/76cm

So I’ve gained a kilo (or 2 pounds) and put on an inch. ARGH!

BUT I have joined the Holiday Hottie Transformation Challenge through Fit Yummy Mummy, and that’s 21 days of dedicated effort I’m about to put in!

If I’m not seeing results after this challenge, I’ll be VERY surprised. I have no excuses. I have received my Prograde products, I just did a clean eating grocery shop and I have my meals planned for the next week!

So stay tuned as I post my progress! :-)

My Prograde products finally arrived and I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly, considering they were posted from the States!

What was even more surprising was the taste!

My Prograde Lean is a meal replacement shake, and it’s chocolate flavoured and kind of tastes like a dark chocolate shake. Yummy!

The Prograde Workout is vanilla flavoured and I could not get enough of it! I was in vanilla heaven! :-P

Yummo!

And finally, the Prograde Metabolism is amazing! I have never felt so energetic! It’s supposed to take a few weeks to really kick in and boost the fat loss, but I can definitely feel the increase in my energy levels, which of course is great!

So if you’re looking for some great products that taste great and WORK (see the Fit Yummy Mummy program – these products are used by most women who join the program and have experienced AMAZING results), visit http://overweightandunhappy.getprograde.com

Now I have absolutely NO excuses not to stick with this…. ;-)

I have a lunch to go to tomorrow, so the rest of the day’s meals had to be sorted:

Breakfast: Green smoothie – spinach, banana, almond milk, frozen mixed berries, vanilla protein powder (I’m still waiting on my Prograde to arrive – they have an orange flavoured powder would you believe??)

Morning tea: Cruskits with cottage cheese and cherry tomatoes

Lunch: Going out – this will be one of my cheat meals for the week

Afternoon tea: Hard boiled egg and some grapes

Dinner: I’m not sure yet. I was thinking of making up a sauce using minced beef, lots of veggies and herbs and garlic. My daughter can have it with spaghetti or other pasta and I’ll have it on its own.

Planning your meals in advance really makes a difference. You’re no longer left with any excuses as to why you didn’t eat healthy – it’s all there ready for you!
