I had several challenges with my 2nd Fitness Challenge of the year. I had an injury about mid way through the challenge called costochondritis. My injury set me back about 2 weeks but I believe in the 80-20 rule where those 2 weeks would not ruin my end results if 80% of the time I’m doing well with my fitness plan.

Summer time was another challenge for me as we were taking more trips and making sure that I kept to my nutrition plan. I did well with my eating at Disneyland. The security guards didn’t take out my almonds and dry roasted edadame! It worked out great to munch on these as we stood in line for rides.

I have noticed that I need to push myself more during my workouts. I’m getting stronger and my body is getting used to working out 6 days a week. I’m still continuously working on my nutrition. I plan to start the Elimination Diet but I’m not there mentally yet but it’s a goal of mine.

Here is an awesome quote that describes how to push through despite obstacles that I turned to often during this challenge:

“Life’s up and downs provide windows of opportunity to determine your values and goals – Think of using all obstacles as stepping stones to build the life you want” Marsha Sinetar

My goals for my fitness challenges have been to lose my belly fat, trim my thighs and get more muscle tone back to my arms. My main goal hasn’t been to lose weight but if it happens that’s ok. I am very happy with my body image. I just need a tune up in the above mentioned areas.

I’m very happy to say that although my stats don’t really show much change, I am now able to fit into my favorite pair of capri’s that I couldn’t even pull up 2 months ago. So with that, here are my Summer Transformation Challenge Results…

Gain of 1 pound muscle and loss of 3 inches!

I will be taking a 2 to 3 week break and will start another fitness challenge to close out the year.
