Revolt 2.7, Every day's a Revolt day

Revolt's second Uprising is over but that doesn't stop us revolters!  Nichole created a special menu and videos for Memorial Day week to keep us active and on track with healthy eating with Revolt Fitness.

For most of the week I did really well with both food and exercise until Friday.  The weekend was not good for me because I had a stomach bug.  It wasn't pretty.

I did lose weight and inches for last week but not in a healthy way.  I didn't eat much for 4 days and what I did eat, didn't stay with me for long.  Now it's Wednesday and my appetite is still not back to normal.  Working out is hard when my body doesn't have the nutrition it needs.  Today is a rest day and I think I'll take the remainder of the week off until I feel 100% again.

Like I said...stomach bug, not a healthy 3.5 lb loss.  I am really trying to hydrate myself and get back to feeling 100%.

Revolt's June Uprising started June 3rd.  You get a month's worth of menus and workouts for $10!  I'm so glad I gave this program a try.  By sticking to the diet and exercise plans, I'm seeing results I love!  Who wants to join me?!  I'd love to have a team of revolters!

Revolt 2.6, Supplements

I finished Uprising 2, Week 6 (my 4th week of the program) of Revolt Fitness.  I feel stronger in my upper body.  I'm able to do more real (manly) push-ups.  I've also increased the weights used in the upper body workouts.  To help with the soreness of working out 5 times a week, I take some supplements.

Here are the supplements I'm taking...

• Multi vitamin
• CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) - 1000mg 3x day. This is an omega-6 fatty acid primarily found in beef and dairy products that may help reduce body fat & increase lean muscle mass. 
• Fish oil  - 1290mg 2x day.  Fish oil is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids. I buy one that minimizes burps because I can't stand to burp up fish all day.
• Glutamine - 5000mg 1x day (I add the plain powder to my protein shake).  A workout basically tears your muscle fibers.  Immediately after a workout, your body starts to repair itself.  Glutamine plays a key role in repairing damaged and sore muscles.

I do see what a big role food plays in transforming my body.  Last week, I was off the wagon.  Instead of one cheat day, I had four!  With parties all weekend, my will power was lost.

Here are my numbers for week 2.6

Revolt's 2nd Uprising is now over.  I'm very happy with my results over the last 4 weeks. I'm sure I'll see my weight number go back down as I continue to hydrate after a weekend of drinking and bad eating.  I still lost inches last week!

Revolt 2.5, How do I Revolt?

I finished Uprising 2, Week 5 (my third week) of Revolt Fitness.  I'm feeling fantastic and would love for some of you to join me in June.

Revolt costs $10 a month. There are no sign up fees or contracts and you may cancel at any time. That's  cheaper than a gym and you workout in the comfort of your own home.
You get daily workouts and a weekly meal plan.

Here's what I recommend you have to start Revolt:

1. An electronic device to play the videos. I use my tablet. You don't have to watch the videos but this really motivates me to give my all during the workout.
2. Dumbbells or kettlebells. I have 5 lbs, 8 lbs, and 10 lbs hand weights.
3. An exercise/yoga mat. I had rug burns on my elbows and back from working out on my carpet.  OUCH!
4. A stability ball

Nichole also recommends a weight bench but that's not practical for me to have in my house.  When the bench is used, I use my bed, a chair, or modify the workout.

Now for last week's numbers....

I love this program!!  I've been stuck at the same size/weight for years even though I exercise regularly.  I ran 2 marathons this year for goodness sake!  Finally, a program I can follow and see results!  I did really well last week with my food plan and I can feel the difference.  I might even get brave enough to post pictures.....maybe.

Revolt Now Fitness

Revolt Fitness was created by Nichole Huntsman, a mom of four kids. After the weight gains and losses of having kids, Nichole was ready to transform her body into the body she wanted.

 

After succeeding at transforming her body, Nichole used her years of experience and fitness knowledge to created Revolt Fitness as a way for others to get in shape and be healthy.  Revolt provides members with weekly workouts and meal plans that change each week to keep them exciting and fresh.  The workouts are 20-30 minutes long 5 days a week.

Revolt is an online membership that costs less then $10 a month.

Check out Nichole's video about why she started Revolt Fitness!

 

 

I'm taking the Revolt challenge to rise up against my "before" picture which may never make it to this very public blog for all the world to see.  I'm not overweight, my BMI is in the normal range.  Even my body fat percentage is in the healthy range.  But, is this the body I want?  Am I confident and proud to walk around in a bikini?  NO!!  I would definitely like to add lean muscle and loose body fat so I joined Revolt's Second Uprising in week 3 of the 6 week program.  I started April 29!

In the past, my downfall of any fitness program is food.  Yes, most fitness programs suggest meals to eat, but it just doesn't happen.  We eat relatively healthy already so I wouldn't take the time to find the recipes in the books provided.  I know losing weight is about 80% diet.  I guess that's why I'm stuck at my current weight.

Revolt gives me a meal plan each week.  It tells me what to eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and even a dessert.  I need that.  I need someone to tell me what to eat at every meal.  The program also stresses the importance of a grocery shopping day and a meal prep day.  That way you have all your food for the week in the house and ready to eat so you're less likely to slip up.

I love that the daily workouts are 30 minutes or less and boy do I sweat in those 30 minutes.  The workouts are online so I don't have to worry about new DVDs with each new workout.

I'm making Wednesday my official weigh-in and measurement day.  Check back to see how my first week went.
