Weigh In Wednesday- Week 17

This week was super tough on me. Between the soreness, pulling muscles, my period, and cravings I had a hard week, but my stats aren't too bad. I weighed in at 175 which I knew would happen being on my period with all that bloating, but I lost a total of 1 whole inch off my body. Haha! Next week should be better!

I had some requests to talk about my special watch I wear during my workouts. So I can tell you what I have and how I use it, but there are so many different kinds out there for many different things.

I have the Polar FT4F
It cost me $64 on Amazon.com and honestly it's the best money I have spent! The strap is worn around your chest right where your sternum ends. The transmitter is the little black thing and just snaps on the strap. Then of course the watch is just worn on your wrist. The transmitter sends your heart rate to your watch so you can keep track of where you should be to get the best results. You set your preferences, like weight, age, and sex, so you can have the most accurate reading. It keeps track of all your workouts, average heart rates and calories burned. Like I said, best $64 spent! Here was my workout today...

I love love love this device. I don't even notice when I'm wearing it and the strap is washable. I highly recommend this monitor! My mom has a higher model of this one and she loves hers too, but seriously of you are on a budget and need to monitor heart rate and calories this is fit for everyone.

Fitness Friday- Squat Challenge Results

So some of you knew that I was doing a 30 day squat challenge... Well I finally completed the challenge and have my before and after. Still have a ways to go but holy cow there is a major difference. (Excuse my photography skills. My husband was sleeping and just decided to take them on my own.) I love SEEING my body transform! I really encourage people to take photos of them selves, although it may be gross or embarrassing at first, it is an amazing motivater and when you do start feeling discouraged you can take another photo to help you see that you really have transformed. Remember, the scale is only a small indicator of your success! How you feel, and how your clothes fit is the most important. Here is the challenge I did in case you want to do your own squat challenge!  Enjoy! I know I did. I even may do it again! -Ash

Easy Chicken Salad

If you really want an easy dinner.. Nothing is easier than a chicken salad! Especially when Costco makes already cooked grilled chicken strips! I really hope I don't have to show or really tell you how to make this salad....but I'll tell u what I have on mine: 4 c. Baby spinach Less than 1 c. Iceberg lettuce 4 grape tomatoes 1/3 c. Cucumber 2 mini bell peppers 1 hard boiled egg 3oz of the chicken 265 calories w/o dressing...but here's a tip that I love!!!! Always have your dressing on the side, dip your fork in your dressing and then get a huge bite of veggies! It really does cut the dressing back to where you are only eating what's necessary! It's the only way I eat salad now! Let me know how you like it! Goodnight lovelies!
