Workout Wednesday!


Recently I had a conversation with an advisor from my school that really opened my eyes. Because I am going for a Health and Fitness major we often talk about his healthy eating and workout habits. He has to be care about what he eats now, and cannot over do workouts because he has had a surgery. He has in a sense "cheated" death two times in his life. While we were talking the other day I asked about how it’s going, and he said "I haven’t been doing my executive workout lately" (that’s what he calls it when he goes to the gym with his wife). So I naturally, as a fitness and health advocate, asked why not!? And this is the part that really caught my attention, and got me thinking. He said, He almost feels invincible; he has almost died twice in his life, and doesn’t feel like he really needs to change anything because if he were supposed to die, he would have already. Now I know it sounds completely crazy! (Sorry if you’re reading this Eric!) But it’s true. If you have been living your life how you wanted, gained weight, who doesn’t right, and then had to have a serious surgery, almost died, but made it through, would you change your lifestyle? Yea, the doctors and EVERYONE around you tell you that you HAVE to, but if you just "cheated" death, wouldn’t you feel more powerful? Well it sounds crazy, but if he does, I am willing to BET that others out there do too. I never thought about this before, and very glad I got to speak to him and really listen and understand how he feels. When you feel invincible you are not going to change because you’re NOT willing to. You may for a short time because the people around you want you too, but it will not last. It is very similar to having an addiction. Someone with an addiction will not seek help unless THEY want it. Same with a healthy lifestyle, it is a CHANGE of your entire LIFE. You have to WANT it, to actually go for it and CHANGE. 
SO today I am posting some motivation, and some easy workouts to follow. I would also like to hear what others have to say about this post today, do you relate to this guy that I speak to? Or do you have a rebuttle???

Transformation Tuesday

Happy Tuesday!!

Tell us about your life before you started the program. How did you feel about yourself and your body? *I had always been somewhat in good shape through highschool staying very active dancing. I never payed attention to nutrition and never thought in a million years I would gain so much weight. After I got married at 21 yrs old my life began to really slow down and I definatly wasn't very active! I gained 20lbs within 9 months of being married! While pregnant with my second child I ate and ate and ate every kind of food whenever I felt like it. I gained 50 more pounds while pregnant! At my all time heaviest 193lbs, I was so ashamed and embarrassed to even go in public. I never wanted to look at myself and was just plain disgusted with myself. I needed a change and I was determined!
What inspired you to change your life and begin your transformation journey? *When I checked into the hospital to deliver my 2nd child, I weighed 193lbs. Depressing!! I started talking with one of my husbands friends, who also had just given birth just 2 days after me, and discovered she was a beachbody coach. She introduced me to 10 day Shakeology challenges and for once I was learning about nutrition. I was shocked to see I had lost 7lbs in just 10 days changing my diet! I ending up winning the challenge and that just changed my mind set 100% and I was on fire and so determined to keep going! I started using Shakeology and working out regulary at my local Ymca and lost 63lbs. I still wanted to tone up and feel even better so I took the next step and ordered Insanity and totally fell in love with how it made me feel inside and out! I lost another 10lbs and am now in the best shape of my life and at a healthy 118lbs!
What is the greatest challenge you faced before beginning the program? How did the program and Beachbody® help you overcome that challenge? *At first, I had never been to a gym. I was terrified to workout in front of people. I was in a new town, new people, and I was so nervous! My biggest challenge was stepping out of the box and forcing myself to go. Many days I had my workout clothes on and I just couldn't get myself to walk out that door. I'm glad I finally worked up the courage because facing that fear helped me get to where I am today! During Insanity, the biggest challenge I had before starting was finding time to workout at home with my two young boys to take care of. I began waking up at 5am to workout before everyone got moving for the day. That was tough! But by the end my body naturally woke up and I was pumped for my workout!

Motivation Monday!!

Happy Monday!!


Today for motivation I decided to try something a little different. I recently decided to do T25 again with a group of girls that wanted to do it too, and join a challenge. So here is my day one photo. Alpha Cardio, from the progam Focus T25. I almost forgot how much i love Shaun T's workouts!!! I was sweatin and feeling the burn! And I FOR SURE forgot how fast the 25 minutes go!! So now, for the next 60 days I will be posting my ACCOUNTABILITY photo here, and on my FB like page- www.FB.com/stephlapinski, and or course in my groups! Hows that for a daily dose of motivation?




One thing to remember when doing the longer challenges like the 60, or 90 day ones, you have to stick to it. For a long time! So I am going to NEED some support, love, motivation, encouragement, and tips! So feel free, actually I NEED YOU to comment or personal email me for support! lapinski.steph@gmail.com




GET IT DONE: IN  25 MINUTES A DAY!
