TurboFire Inferno - Wrap up and the after picture!
Alright so the end of last week got crazy busy - I apologize for not posting this sooner!
The TurboFire Inferno was awesome last week! I felt great (still feel great) and all the recipes were delicious! I even had a friend over for dinner mid week and she was game for sticking to the meal plan with me so we enjoyed an awesome salmon dinner together! I love sharing my healthy habits with those I love!
Everyone's questions to me while I was on this plan was "so what are you going to eat? Well here it is..I took pictures when I remembered or it didn't smell so good that I ate it right away. I wasn't super rigid about the meal plan but stuck to the calories and clean eating to make sure I was still successful.
So as you can hopefully see - healthy is yummy! I loved all the food and will definitely be adding these into my regular meal plans.
The workouts were tough...very tough. I sweat a lot, got my butt kicked but I felt so energized. I burned at least 500 calories with each workout and definitely felt buzzed the rest of the day. Better than all of that though I felt proud of myself, ya know? Proud of going after what I wanted to achieve and knowing that I was going to ROCK that bridesmaid dress - which i did.
So now the main reason I wrote this blog - to show off! Here's the before picture again:
The main rason for all of this of course was the dress. Yay! Now I took a pic but it's not a great pic thanks to the lighting. I'll post better pictures if / as I get them but in the meantime I hope you can tell I felt great and was super confident in this dress all day. I danced the night away, had a great time and felt like myself for the first time in a while - amazing what the right workout can help you achieve!

Turbo Fire Inferno Day 1
I have a wedding in which I'm a bridesmaid and I want to ROCK my dress. I know that I'm already looking pretty good - with the workouts and healthy eating I've maintained around the 150 mark so I'm very happy about that. However a little extra toning and leaning is always good, right?
The 5 Day Inferno is designed to get you "hot for the weekend" so that's what I'm going to do. There's a diet plan laid out which I'm following .... mostly. I'm using the calorie guidelines and making sure that I hit the protein and carb requirements but especially today (since I haven't gone grocery shopping...I hate grocery shopping) I've gone more the "hit the ranges" route.
I'm so confident in this program I'm going to post the before picture BEFORE I have an after picture.
Before Measurements:
Chest: 38.25"
R. Arm: 11"
L. Arm: 11"
Waist: 31 "
Hips: 39"
R. Thigh: 23.125"
L. Thigh: 23.25"
Body Fat: 27%
Weight: 153 lbs.
