Because we stayed in town this MDW and kept things pretty low key (besides the state championship win!), I was able to really get back into my gym and focus on getting myself ship shape for my beach bachelorette party in less than 3 weeks! While I’m not 100% there yet, I have to admit, I was completely shocked by the amount of progress I seem to have made in 3 days. It feels good. I feel like I’m finally in control to make this happen and am confident I can get my body where I want it to be by summer.
What changed in 3 days?? Well, I’ve been working out for a long time now, so there are really just a few things that I attribute this to. Want to look more fit and do it quickly? Here’s how I do it...
1. Whey protein. Not just after your workout, but before your workout too. It may not be the best tasting thing in the world, but when you’re staring at that six-pack later, it won’t seem all that bad after all.
2. Extra abs and buns. I’ve been taking those extra 5-10 minutes at the end of each workout to really focus on these areas and completely burn them out. It could be mental, but I swear my butt has changed shape. And I haven't seen my abs like this since last summer when I had nothing to do but work out every morning! Speaking of, it’s Wednesday, and on Wednesday’s we squat so.....
3. Tan. You don’t have to damage your skin. You can spray or whatnot and get the same effect. I’ll be totally honest in saying that I baked my skin some this weekend. I know it’s bad, but I really want a base so I don’t turn into the lobster the first time I’m laying on the beach all day. Perhaps that’s the difference in making me feel like I’m getting in shape, but whatever it is, I’ll take it.
Of course all of these need to be done in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise routine. I’m not saying that I’m ONLY doing abs and buns, just that I’m focusing more on these bikini revealing areas. Good luck! You’ll be lookin’ fit and fab in no time!
