Jennifer's Review:

Yesterday was my official day to begin this challenge. A journey indeed. I am thankful that Tami not only considers the aspect of working our bodies, but also, sustaining our bodies with balanced nutrition. I sat in front of the meal planner for 45 minutes yesterday, just planning ONE DAY! Yikes. Apparently, I needed some help with creating balanced meals. I actually enjoyed planning our family's meals and felt great about choosing foods that compliment one another as well as our bodies. Also, it was so nice to know ahead of time just what we would be eating throughout the day. Because the great thing about this system is that my family can eat what I eat within the plan. It is food that we would normally be eating, just different combinations as well as being mindful of P O R T I O N I N G . So my new best friend... the measuring cup. And measuring spoon too!

Now, for the workout. Wow. I haven't worked that hard, well, in a L O N G time. I did Tami's Cardio/Core session. It felt great. I worked up a sweat. I got my heart beat up. I felt exhausted. But in an exhilarating way. I felt muscles I don't think I've ever felt before. The constant up + down kicked my butt. Being that I did this session at home, for some reason I chose not to wear shoes. BIG MISTAKE. I ended up tearing off a piece of skin on my big toe. Ouch. My husband came in from walking the dog & I told him. I didn't want to stop my session though. Quick fix from the MR. first aid tape, and I was back at it again. Although in a bit of pain. Note to self: WEAR SHOES! After my workout, I was sure to rehydrate with one of our products, RAIN storm. It was my first time trying this product. So, I'm not sure if it was the product or the fact that I chose to stretch out a bit after my workout... but today, I do not hurt at all. Phew. I was worried about that. Not that I don't feel the workout today, because I do. But it feels good! Not that sore, I can barely move feeling I've had before. Just good. Thank you Tami. Not only do I adore you, your workout rocks & the nutrition plan is amazing. Praise indeed.

  1. Those food pictures are gorgeous! I haven't used the meal planning feature yet, I'll have to try it. I have also become acquainted with measuring cups in the last week.

  2. Thanks Tannis. It is amazing to actually discover what portioning of meals SHOULD be. The meal planning feature rocks. I have been learning a lot using it. So interesting.
