Hey there,
It’s Lindsay, the other half of this dynamic duo. I have been married to my
husband (C) for close to 3 years and this year for his birthday I decided to
get him something spicy, boudoir photos. To get my post baby body in half naked
photo ready condition I am starting the 5 day slim down from the TIU nutrition program. Soon you will realize that when it comes to
fitness we have 3 main obsessions: Soulcycle,
Tracy Anderson and Karena & Katrina from Tone It Up! K & K
are two friends who met at the gym and decided to team up to create a fitness
and lifestyle company that helps women look and feel their best. The main
reason we are super obsessed with this dynamic duo, other then their tight
asses and amazing hair, is that they keep things fun and simple (for the most
part). Their workouts are free (they have 2 Beach Body DVD’s out to purchase)
and can all be done in the comfort of your home with a yoga mat
and a 5lbs set of dumbbells. A few of my favorites are the Malibooty workout, Sunseeker Abs and Love
your Arms. If you don’t already follow them on social media you are totally
missing out!!!
Getting back to the 5 Day Slim Down…On Black Friday
we finally decided to take the plunge and purchase the TIU Nutrition program
because it was on sale and we never pass up a sale. It is a lifetime membership
and so far has been good to us. In the program you get access to a 5 & 7
day slim down. These programs are meant to be used for photo prep or to look
your best before a big event. If I am going to do one of them this is the time!
I took my copy of the plan to the grocery store with me and purchased
everything I needed for the 5 days. I even bought a 2 L water bottle because
the plan calls for you to drink ½ your body weight in ounces in water. In my
case that is 2048 ounces which is way more water then I drink normally.
One of the craziest hours of my day is when I walk in the
door from work and have to turn around dinner in 30 minutes. The hardest part
is always keeping it healthy because we all know how easy it is to grab some
pasta, throw a jar of sauce on and ta-da. Fortunately for my family I know that
it takes just as long to brown some ground turkey breast for tacos (recipe
below) as it does to boil water and cook pasta. We rarely eat food from a box
but to keep us from being tempted I always prep my food on Sunday, Wash /Cut
all veggies, marinate or prep protein for the week, bake some banana
muffins for J & C and cook a big dinner on Sunday that can be packed
for lunch throughout the week. Another
tip is to portion out all your veggies in Ziploc bags to make it easy to grab
for your lunch. If you are having wraps
(as this plan calls for), make all your wraps on Sunday. The beauty of a wrap
is it won’t go soggy (unless it’s tuna) and has less carbs then 2 pieces of
bread.
I took my before picture and will post a side by side at the
end of day 5. Wish me luck!!
