Best Body Bootcamp Goals

Tomorrow marks the start of the Best Body Bootcamp summer program!  I am incredibly excited about this program, and now that I’ve had some time to digest everything, I thought I would share my plan and my goals for the 8 weeks.

As a visual learner, I decided to create a binder for the 8 week program.  Although all of the documents Tina sends to those who are registered for the program can be viewed online, being able to print everything out helps me to plan out my weeks and to stay motivated.

I started by creating 5 tabs, one for each 2 week segment and one for other documents, such as the cardio workout packet.

I also used colorful tabs to mark off sections in the cardio workout packet, making it easier to turn to the various timed workouts.

For each 2 week section, I have printed out the following 3 things:

1.  Menu and Workout Planner

Cassie from Back to her Roots created this AMAZING Menu Planner which provides the perfect place for me to plan out my meals and my workouts for each week.  I have a planner printed for each week of the program and will use Saturdays to design my plan for the following week.

2.  Weekly Goal Tracker

As part of the Best Body Bootcamp program, Tina has create 2 weekly goals every 2 weeks.  You can have the same two goals for the whole 8 weeks or you can change them up every two weeks.  For my first two weeks my goals are to …

  • Not eat after 7PM
  • Drink at least 8 8oz glasses of water a day

My goal is to reach each of my goals at least 5 days a week.

3.  Weekly Workout Plan

As part of the bootcamp program, Tina sends us new workout plans every 2 weeks.  The programs are both for beginners and for those with a little more experience.  Tina provided us with a structured plan but encourages us to move things around as needed.  I take Tina’s workouts and add them to my weekly planner.

For my diet, I am going to continue to eat as I have been these past few weeks.  I am focused on portion control, eating mostly clean foods, and not eating after 7PM.  I am going to pre-plan my meals for each week, that way I’m prepared for my trips to the grocery store and don’t have to worry about what I’m going to cook or eat.

This round of Best Body Bootcamp runs from June 17 – August 12.  This week I am going to weigh in on Monday and then again on Friday as we close out the 7 Week Challenge.  After this coming week I will officially switch my weigh-ins to Monday.

Through this 8 week program I’m really focusing on reaching my daily goals.  My long term goals have not changed and thus I’m know I need to focus on staying on track daily.  In case you’ve missed them, here are my goals in descending order…

  • Under 180 lbs
  • 199 lbs
  • 207 lbs
  • 215 lbs
  • 219 lbs
  • 225 lbs

There’s still time to sign up for the 8 week summer bootcamp if you’re interested.  Whether you join #BestBodyBootcamp or create your own 8 week plan, I challenge you to use the weekly planner to organize your workouts and your diet.  I really want each of us to have a successful summer!

Looking for something?

Trauma has convinced me over the years that shutti Trauma has convinced me over the years that shutting down and closing myself off will protect me. 

What I am reminded, time and time again, is that hope and healing occur in a space of openness. That I am not alone in my experiences, no matter how difficult they are or how alone I may feel. 

Today on BalancingToday.com I am sharing my story and opening up about secondary infertility and PCOS. I was scared to write this post and though I am nervous even now, I know that I am sadly not alone in this battle. 

I share my story both for me and for the women battling behind closed doors. You are not alone.
This is where it all started for me. 1 year ago I This is where it all started for me. 1 year ago I was depressed, stressed, and my days were filled with anxiety. As I was strolling through Wegmans, I walked by the CBD end cap. I had no idea what CBD was at that point. I honestly thought it was illegal.

I went home and started doing research. I returned to Wegmans a week later and bought my first bottle of CBD. Between March and August I tried a ton of brands, but everything changed when Betty introduced me to Green Compass! 

The quality of CBD was unlike anything I had used before. The color alone was shocking! Green Compass CBD was almost clear and the taste was amazing (not earthy). What mattered most was that the CBD worked like nothing before. With Green Compass my anxiety was non existent after taking my CBD. 

4 months later, in December I took a leap and joined Green Compass and it was the best decision I ever made! Now I help others in need of CBD and it’s the most fulfilling side gig. It brings me so much joy and the money is literally changing my family’s future!

If you or a loved one are in pain, have anxiety, battle stress, or want to explore the many benefits of CBD, let’s talk! 

If you’re looking for a way to make extra income, but don’t like the idea of direct sales or MLM, let’s talk! 

Green Compass has changed my life and I’m actively watching it change others’. I’d love to help you too!
I often think about my childhood and life before c I often think about my childhood and life before cell phones. We played outside, watched Disney movies on VHS, and went on lots and lots of walks. I always joke that my parents had no idea where I was, but the truth is, they knew I was safe outside. I’m so thankful for how this past year has brought me back to the simple life. We go on walks almost every day and have spent so much of this winter outdoors. I’m thankful for how this year opened my eyes to the world around me and brought me back to what fills my cup.
A little of this and a little of that! Everything A little of this and a little of that! Everything is better in a bowl right!?! Frozen veggies, grilled chicken, roasted Brussels sprouts, feta cheese, and pickled onions.
One thing on my heart this year is to start each w One thing on my heart this year is to start each week with a reading. To take a few moments to sit, to take weight off my shoulders, and to focus on my root, heart, and crown. 

Crown Card (top) represents the part of me that wants to reach beyond myself. It can give you an idea of how to serve others✨The Bridge - “A gesture of acceptance, of saying yes rather than withdrawing, separating, and saying no”. A Bridge can not be forced. It must be made with love to withstand the weather of life. 

Heart Card (middle) represents what is currently residing in my heart and tells of deep longing, calling, or conflict✨The Offering - A call to action. A time for something to be given or given up. “When we offer up something to the greater good, we lighten our load and become more able to serve”.

Root Card (bottom) represents my grounding and current state✨The Hunter - On a precise mission, seeking far and wide for the prize that calls their heart.

It’s a beautiful, snowy day here in Maryland. I’m cleaning the house and doing laundry (Neal and I tag team), planning out the week ahead, cooking dinner in the crockpot, and sending out goodies to new Green Compass customers. It’s a good day! (Day 3 no caffeine!)
Oops! Forgot the trails would be covered in snow. Oops! Forgot the trails would be covered in snow. We were totally under prepared but my kids had a blast. One of the blessings that has come out of this pandemic for us is spending time outside year round. A year ago, we wouldn’t have been hiking snow covered trails. So thankful for this time to explore Maryland by trail.
