My family is hitting the beaches of Naples, FL in a few weeks and well post-baby body condition coupled with my obscene addiction to chocolate and wine hasn't left me as toned as I would like to be. Enter my friend Bryen Pinkard, founder of Bryen's Bootcamp and his 21 Days Later customized program. The program is a combination of healthy nutrition and intense weight training.
Now when I received my custom program I was a little nervous. Not so much about the exercises because collegiate tennis was also a full blown weight training venture, but the nutritional portion terrified me. I generally grab whatever is in the fridge or whatever tickles my fancy while cruising the streets of Westchester County; however 21 Days Later calls for 5 to 6 meals with very specific guidelines and food groups. Plus a strong suggestion of no caffeine or alcohol warning at the top of the list made me weary.
So I made a little trip to the grocery store to load up on my inventory. I spent Tuesday night prepping healthy options for breakfast and dinner. Since we are usually on the go in the middle of the day, I made little snack packs for meals 2 through 4. This way I won't be tempted to stop at good ole' McD's for fuel.
Day one of twenty-one began yesterday, and I am off to a great start. My body feels great (you know that good sore feeling?), and my mind is energized. If I can already feel the burn, I can't wait to see the end result.
Below are my "before" pictures:
I will be blogging about my progress once a week over the next three weeks. Follow along and help encourage me as I embark on this 21 day journey to a healthier, more toned me! And if you are interested in your own custom program, please let me know or contact Bryen at BryensBootCamp@gmail.com.
