Fight Song

Written by stacey on . Posted in Coaching, Fitness, Michigan, Nutrition, Relationships, Traverse City. Leave a Comment

I love fight songs. It started back in high school where we would sing loud and proud to “We Will Rock You” at football games. We’d stomp our feet, clap our hands, and sing the fight song with every piece of energy we had. We bonded. We united. We became “us” in the land of us against them. Fight songs rule. The players on the field would hear the crowds roaring in encouragement and feed off the energy and fight for the final goal. Fight for the win.

Historically, Eminem, Katy Perry, Rhianna, Sara Evans and a few others have joined the voices in my head with their fight songs. But

The cool kids from Crew are posting their video impressions of Summit 2013 so I thought I’d join in the fun. Gregg & I are exhausted…fresh off from a HUGE weekend and an airplane and are running on fumes but we’re hoping our passion comes through for you and helps you understand why we put ourselves through this every year. CUZ IT’S WORTH IT.

Instead of just letting you read about my experience, I am encouraging you to go over to my youtube channel and check it out there.

Forgive the slip ups, brain melts, and giggles as we’re a bit off our rockers–but watch the video and enjoy the ride.

Ultimate Reset Day 3 : Down a belt notch!

Ultimate Reset Day 3

Ultimate Reset Day 3 and I’m down a belt notch! WOOOO HOOOOO!!!! GIDDY UP! I’ll take giving up caffeine and take on making myself eat for those results. How cool is THAT? I’ve no clue if I’ve lost a pound but…does it really matter if the scale moved when my belt notch is moving? Do I give a flying flip what my scale says when I feel great about whittling my middle? Heck no! Clearly, my body is clearly heading further down the path of Ultimate Reset as the aches and pains have settled in as well as my belly flattening out. The aches and pains are the toxins making some noise on their way out of my body but I expected it so I’m okay with it (for the most part). I’m trying to go through this whole experience without taking any over-the-counter medications (ibuprofen, acetaminophen, etc). A suggestion (and a good one at that) is

Ultimate Reset Day 2 No Caffeine

Ultimate Reset Day 2 No Caffeine makes me a  Grumpy Gal

Ultimate Reset Day 2 No Caffeine (I’m Grumpy Gal)

We recommend starting Ultimate Reset on a Wednesday if you’re a Monday – Friday kinda person because days 3 – 5 tend to be pretty brutal on most people. If you’re not a Monday – Friday type of person, then adjust with the understanding that most struggle with days 3 – 5. Me? I am special. I started being grumpy on Day 2. Well, not really…I mean I’m not postal or anything (yet) I am just short on patience right now. I’m grumpy. Giving up all of my favorite vices in one fell swoop is difficult at best. No caffeine. No exercise. No caffeine. No binge eating. No white wine. No caffeine. Did I mention no caffeine? (I’ll get into that topic more later…). Anyhoooooo, it’s okay that I don’t have the kids this weekend as my patience appears to have left the building. It’s an odd sensation, really. Knowing that I am totally overreacting yet

Ultimate Reset Day 1 Fat Pants

My experience with Day 1 of Ultimate Reset

Day 1 of Ultimate Reset

Ultimate Reset Day 1 is a success! Well, at the end of Day 1 I can tell you it is a success and I can also tell you it did NOT start out that way. You see,  I took my measurements, weight, body fat and PHOTOS at the start of the day. Sigh. What a depressing moment that is. I’m the heaviest I’ve been in years and wearing my fat girl pants and NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT. Maybe you can relate? Do you have a range of sizes to choose from in your closet or are do you only have one size of clothing in your closet? I have a range. My range is what many of you would consider “thin” but I have no problem telling you that when I’m squeezing into the highest size in my spectrum, I feel anything but thin. It’s such a bad mental game. It’s even more out-of-body when I hear
