Lacey Stone Fitness

I'm feeling pretty solid about my first week! Even after yesterday's hiccup, today I had lots of green juice and high-water-content foods to debloat and feel more energized.
I'm already working out for at least an hour 5-6 days a week, and that seems to be sustainable.
Mentally I'm feeling good, because I'm seeing results. I can see and feel that it's working, and that helps motivate me to keep going. My shoulders are starting to get definition, my abs are stronger, and my legs and butt are gradually growing muscle. I've lost a total of 2 inches in my waist and 4 inches in my "love handles". This has been over the course of several months obviously, but it still helps me stay the course with more recent programs like this one!

GIRL... THIS IS AMAZING. Your dedication to your health is inspiring to us all. It's not about what happens to you it's how you respond to it. I see people makes mistakes and they hold it over their heads for way to long. Way to not let your "hiccup" get you down.

You are awesome and your life is in store way more awesome... What you're doing is perfect and obviously working. Thank you for sharing your 1 week love. Week Two is high energy week are you ready?

Heck yeah - bring it!

You ready for week 3?

Yay you're crushing it!! *high-five*

Thanks Eden you are doing great to I love how into fitness you are it amazing!

Thank you Amy... This is all great stuff. And yes... Going to the bathroom a lot from drinking loads of water is a way of life for me. Think about it as getting a little extra exercise. You can also multi-task by sending a couple texts in the stall? Haha!

Week 1 is an eye opener... Are you getting plenty of sleep too? It's important to get that rest in for muscle repair! BRAVO on a great week 1!

Teamwork makes the dream work!

Hi Ruiz - the huddle is available now! (I found it in the 1 month mission vids) Lacey talks about our food and ALL about the cheat meal (emphasis on the singular lol) :)

Thank you!! 😃 one meal cheat meal is better than none! 🙌

How do we acces the huddle?

Hey girl! You need to watch the huddles every Saturday I answer almost everything you need to know ever. When you participate in 1 Month Mission the camp everyone is in they are in the 1 Month Mission Series. Are you having trouble navigating the site?

Here is the huddle that Randi is talking about - https://laceystonefitness.vhx.tv/videos/huddle-2-1-month-mission I talk about cheat days around minute 6.

Thank you for being a leader Randi!!! I hope this helps Xx

I really appreciate you being a leader on this one Randi!

Thank you for helping Ruizteam5 Amy and Randi!

You ready for week 3?!

Shoot! How did I miss this?!

We are going to get into more weights in week 2 don't you worry! Core and cardio are great choices for you in between workout days. You could also add in arms or legs to core and cardio day and make it a 30 minute workout.

That's tricky... Do you have anyone that can help you out for the next 4 weeks? Do you know any moms that could come over? You could workout they could help with the kids and then you could switch and she could workout? Teamwork makes the dream work baby!

Think of it as now 3 weeks of your life. You can do anything for 3 weeks. Then post camp you can slow down for a week or two and there will be another camp you can dive into. You need to look at this as a lifestyle that ebbs and flows.

You can do this woman. I know you can and you know you can!

No, unfortunately I really don’t have a lot of help. But that’s ok. I will make it work bc I know how much I need it! Sometimes I just feel overwhelmed!

It's ok to get overwhelmed, we all do. It's all about learning to manage your time better... Or letting your kids cry a little while you get in 20mins. Having a great body involves sacrifice, good communication, enrolling others for help and encouragement... You are a baddie bae Emily, I know you can handle it!

Hey!

Don’t worry woman. You are going to be the leader of the other people who join the camp a little later! ❤️

You haven’t missed anything. Watch this video and then read below and click “show more.” The first team email is linked below this video.

When you start 1 Month Mission go to the 1 Month Mission Series start your test day and get after your 4 weeks!

I hope this makes you feel better. Lots of people are joining this week too. You are not alone!

Have a good night! Xx

How's it going?

Hi Freyja!
I'm so sorry for your loss. Even in this fitness-focused month, be kind to yourself and get the emotional support you need ❤️

Regarding taking on healthier habits, it sounds like you're doing great! Keep it up, and always reach out when you need encouragement/advice!

First of all Freyja, I'm so sorry for your loss. It's so hard when life throws these curve balls at us... It really teaches you that the only control we have is how we respond to it. You are responding like a true warrior queen. I'm also soooo happy you caught my LIVE stream what amazing timing for what you're going through.

Through years of training people that is the pattern of every month. Something always happens that throws us off track. If you really want to achieve something it's your responsibility to find the inner strength and mental toughness to keep on going. You are going just that.

Camp - You can do the workout days however you like. Monday - Wednesdays, Tuesday - Thursday, Wednesday - Friday, etc. The workouts come out super early Tuesday and Thursday mornings in the states. So for you that's probably Tuesday and Thursday evening.

Yes to sparkling water, my favorite is La Croix and you can have that in different flavors. Only thing about sparkling water is that the carbonation sometimes creates a bloat in the belly. Not a huge deal but something to keep in mind.

Proud of you and I'm always here for you Queen!

So sorry for your loss 💗

Hey woman!

That's an amazing goal. You will be shocked how much better you'll feel when you don't drink... You will have a new sense of clarity. I'd love to know how you're feeling after 3 weeks of not drinking.

The community, Virtual Squad is everything. Check out everyone's comments and support each other!

By getting better you make everyone better! Welcome to the greatest team you've ever been on :) XOXOXOOXOX

You ready for week 3, talk to me!

Hey Randi! Thank you so muchhhhhhhhh... We had the best time and it looks like our squad is going to be featured in some very exciting write-ups.

Are you ready for week 3? How are you doing?

Right now, I'm just happy to have rocked week 2! I'll get my head in the game for week 3 this weekend. HAHA Looking forward to seeing tomorrow's Huddle. And super excited for you and your success!!

Happy you did too! I'm about to post to the team about week 3!

Tomorrow's huddle is GREAT. I'm going to be talking about lifting heavy weights.

Thank you Randi, my success is our success! Lets keep making each other better, ok?

Hey!!! I'm happy you're speaking up. HA!

I'm so happy you had a great week! Why was is good? Just eating well and good workouts with me?

Are you ready for week 3?

I'm pumped you're still in it girl! I GOT YOU!!!

1. The better you get the heavier your weights should be! BRAVO.
2. You can use dumbbells if you like. I just like the bands because it forces your to work different muscle groups than the dumbbells and you can do the movements faster!!! Did you know you broke the bands because you're a super hero?
3. I went to Disney Land the in July. Why are you afraid? Because you're going to eat poorly? How long are you there? Will you have any help with your kids? I did it alone and I was so proud of myself afterwards... IT IS NOT EASY! I have sooo much more respect for my mom.

PROUD of you Emily!

Hey Emily!

Of course. I want you to succeed and much as you do.

Here's the deal... We are playing the long game together. My hope is that you stay with the team long beyond this camp. That' means while you are at Disney enjoying life (it's not just about fitness goals, it's also about having a great life) do my body weight stuff and put the team days on hold. When you get back home do your week three. That works well and it's good to have that family/fitness balance.

How does that sound?

Hahah! Good!

LOVE that motivation and intensity, Kathryn! Can't wait to here how your week 2 goes. Next week we up the power. Make sure you're drinking enough water...it will help with your recovery and to prevent cramping with heavy weights and high resistance.

I drink a pre-workout drink when I walk the dogs in the morning before working out. Then I drink water between the sets. Hydration FTW!
