READY TO START A NEW!

Life got in the way of my sexy figure! At least that’s my excuse. After nearly four years of wonderful marriage and one beautiful child, I’ve discovered that I’ve developed a private hatred for scales and mirrors alike. I’ve had enough of life getting in the way, and it’s time to get back into the best shape of my life! T-minus 60 pounds to go!
Let me start off by saying, I am blessed. Andrew is my loving husband, and we have a beautiful little one named Eden. I am able to stay at home with Eden while Andrew is able to work from home. We love to sit and watch movies or play video games while eating candy and pizza on our time off. Soda is something we drink daily. Taco Bell is a place we visit 2 or more times a week. My name is Christy Lowen, and I am ready to start a new.
As a mother, I set the path for my daughter. Whether it is a path to gluttony and laziness or one to a healthy and Godly lifestyle, it is my choice. As a wife, it’s my job to be and feel sexy for my husband!

Bringing Sexy Back!

I just got back from my very long leg and back workout at my mom and dad's house, and I thought I would write a blog while the endorphins are going! To give a weekly update, I will gladly say that I did indeed kick it up a notch this week! My body is ridiculously sore because I took too long of a break.  It feels like Anderson Silva (Greatest of all time UFC Fighter) punched me in both of my shoulders.  It is all good, I am back in action! Ahhh, the sweet pain of progress!

I am super excited to try some new recipes this week. I want to really keep the gluten level down, but at the same time have fast and easy meals!  I will be posting some of the meals I make on my blog next post. TLS has some recipes online that I really need to check out! Also, Pintrest for the win! If you guys want, you can follow me on Pintrest!  I find a bunch of yummy gluten free recipes and re-pin them for you guys! Here is the link to my boards! http://pinterest.com/lowen003/boards/

One thing that I have really learned this week is that muscle memory is down right amazing! I felt like a pop-belly pig after taking a break from working out, but two workouts in my tummy flattened and I felt just as amazing as I did before I went on vacation! Also I beat my max in bench press!!! That was a shocker! Learn from that ladies... When you take a break for a while and your butt looks 5 times flatter than it did when you were working out, that does not mean that the muscle is gone. You just need to give it a little "boost," so to speak.  Drop it like its hot with two 10 lbs weights in your hands by doing some of those squats you love so much! But seriously, after you workout you will see that you are not as far behind as you thought you were.  Just get out there and do it... there is no way that you will regret it!

Oh by the way, some of you have been asking what TLS is.  TLS stands for Transitions Lifestyle System.  It is not an eating program, as much as it is a lifestyle and behavior modification program.  TLS provides lots of different tools to get you to where you want to be.  Some people don't mind losing weight over a longer period of time, then there are those that want to go at it a little faster, and then there are the people that want to lose it much faster!  They have everything, from recipes to workouts to protein shakes to packaged up meals, as well as professional coaches that will help you achieve your goals at no additional cost.  I will be one of those coaches soon! They also have tools online to track your progress, along with free webinars with professionals to help guide you through it all.  I love it. If you guys have anymore questions, or if you want to get started on your body, then go ahead and shoot me an email, I will hook you up ;). Email me at lowen003@gmail.com.

Our daughter is already excited about daddy's American Express card... Uh-oh. We are in trouble!
