Lacey Stone Fitness

Hey Squad! I thought it might be fun to have a thread dedicated to things we are proud of on our Mission. Where we can tell each other our success stories and perhaps encourage each other with a pat on the back. This isn’t easy but so worth it, so let’s brag on ourselves a little as we go!

I’m proud to have eaten clean for two full days. This is a big deal for me!
Also... proud of myself for getting up ridiculously early today for some “me time”... the Fit Test. I also stayed committed to a spin class that I’ve been attending on Tuesday/Thursday nights. For the first time in my life, I worked out twice in one day! So... I’m tired and going to bed feeling accomplished.

Anyone else have a good day? - Suzanne

Well done Suzanne!!!!
I have just completed the Fitness Test & I am so happy because for the first time ever my Husband (who has never trained) and my 10 year old Son completed it with me. So much fun, loved every minute of it.

Love this!

Great job to everyone on the start of this adventure!

My proud moment on Tuesday- had an offsite retreat for work. Everyone was to bring a snack of their choice. We had nothing but junk food - brownies, cookies, donuts and kolaches - UGH! But I'm proud of myself - I did NOT have one bite! Not one cookie, brownie, etc! That is a huge deal for me since I have such a sweet tooth!

I love this Kate! Keep letting me know when you're proud of your accomplishments so I can celebrate them with you. Food is a massive part of your success in the next four weeks.

A couple tips.

1. Come prepared with snacks.
2. Step away from the triggers. Don't even look at it and definitely don't keep it in the house.
3. Tell everyone you know what you're looking to accomplish over the next four weeks so they can't support you. If they don't support you it says a lot about their relationship with you. Try to get them to do the program with you. People sometimes get upset when their friends change because it makes them feel bad about themselves. You have to be your own hero here, OK? Does that make sense?
4. Blame me!
5. Reach out to your teammates on the forums.

Great job Tuesday! Let's have a great month and stay on your MISSION! Xx

Suzanne I LOOOVE this! How awesome! I'm proud of meal prepping today after a fun cheat meal last night and I'm on day 2 of working out with you all and tonight it's a double! Hugs all around, I love all of your proud moments

Hi :)
So I totally feel like I failed today because I didn't manage to fit in the fit-test which I was planning on doing since I joined a day late.
After a very long day I would usually chill on the sofa and eat something loaded with sugar - but today, I did not. My 'proud moment' today was the fact that I was motivated all day to eat healthy and did not have an energy drink at work (which almost everyone around me drinks and I drink very often at work - its awful I know! ) so tonight I decided to have a big glass of water while I prepared tomorrow and the alarm is already set for 30 minutes earlier than usually so I can make sure to fit in the fit-test in the morning! I'm determined to get back on track so I can take part in the team work out in the afternoon :)

Not everything went according to plan but that doesn't mean I can lose face... I promised myself ( and Lacey, by signing up for this) to give it my all and from now on I just know I have to schedule my day a little differently.

p.s. Reading over everything on this forum is super motivating by the way - keep up the good work everyone :)

Workout 2 completed! Love your spirit, Lacey - I don't know that I've laughed so much during a workout. And I put my hands in at the end with you all :)

I want to be in this for the long game. I've had bad experiences before with trainers that pushed me too far, too fast, and I'm super happy that you encourage us in a way that will get us sustainable results. Oh, and I've been saying "hey" to a LOT of old friends today and yesterday. Nice to feel those muscles again.

How's everyone else doing today?

Okay, am I the only one laughing out loud during the workouts? “There’s some hoes in this house, there’s some hoes in this house...” LOL! Lacy you’re HILARIOUS! Xoxoxoxoxo

Here's my success story for the day: Today was day 5 of shark week for me (mine lasts 8 days and days 5-7 are usually the worst), BUT I still got up and made a giant green juice (cucumber, romaine, kale, apple, pear, green grapes, ginger, and garlic), took my vitamins, and completed the Thursday boot camp workout! Feeling much better now! :)

I'm working from home today and the pantry was calling to me. BIG TIME! So... I went in and changed into my leggings and a sports bra (not a good look on me yet) and completed Core 1 and Cardio Dance 1. Super fun and got me out of my cravings mode. It's hard to cheat when you are wearing your goal outfit for public workouts. :)

Just finished booty 1 and cardio dance 2. Laughed throughout!
Restocked the kitchen today with healthy foods. Grabbed some quinoa since the huddle told me how important the carbs are for success. So I’m adding that into my salads. Also grabbed the protein powder for meal replacement when needed.
I hope everyone is having a good weekend! Xoxo

Day 2 of my yoga instructor training (its every weekend from now through December), which means 1-2 hours of yoga daily, and I STILL crushed my cardio and core workout this morning! It felt great!!

Not a proud moment but posting anyways ... had a rough Monday! I was camping with my daughter's girl scout troop this past weekend. I came prepared (food wise) for the campout and even passed on the smores!! However, I was not able to get to the store and meal prep for the week. I paid the price on Monday when I was trying to find something to eat at local restaurants. Note to self for the next time-- do meal prep before going out of town!

My question for everyone - what is your quick "go to meal" that you keep in your pantry?

Hey Kate!!! Food prep (or lack of) can really get ya. Good job passing on the Smores! I passed on popcorn at A Star is Born yesterday, that was my win. My pantry go to when I'm a pinch is a can of tuna or those seasoned tuna packs with some rice, tamari or low sodium soy sauce, and then some veggies like frozen peas or broccoli. It sounds so weird now that I'm typing it. I also really like canned chicken with green beans and 1 laughing cow wedge.

Some of my go to’s are:
Hard boiled eggs
Sliced veggies like red/orange/ yellow bell peppers and cucumbers
Broccoli, cauliflower salad with grilled chicken cubes. Add a tiny amount of oil/vinegar plus pepper. Not sure if that dressing is Lacey approved.
Egg scramble with chopped onions, tomatoes, bell pepper, and jalapeños... with a side of fresh avocado
I eat simple foods because I don’t cook. I hope this helps.
