About Me

My Photo
Welcome to my 1st blog! I started this blog to document my cize experience. Cize is a new Beachbody exercise program based on dancing combined with the meal plan from 21 day fix (another Beachbody program). I have done one round of 21 day fix and lost 6 lbs, but more notable was the inches! Unfortunately due to travel and moving, I fell off the 21 day fix wagon! Cize was appealing to me as I am a former dancer and the routines require no equipment. I also signed up to be a coach...mostly for the shakeology discount (a yummy chocolate protein shake also by beachbody) but I'd love to help out others, hence the blog! After seeing my Facebook newsfeed blow up with Beachbody coaches, I became curious, but incredibly skeptical! I'm loving cize so far, but can I really see the success that so many others have? The only way I previously have been successful with slimming down and getting healthy was when I trained for the NYC marathon in 2013...and I want that back! Hoping without running another one! Time will tell! This is my skeptical, but curious experience with Cize, 21 Day Fix, Beachbody, and Shakeology!

CIZE: Week 3 Day 1- Go For It!!!

Go For It!!!

I really had to tell myself this today!  Took my "rest day" earlier in the week so I'm jumping right in to week 3!!! It's Saturday morning and I have a fun day planned so I wanted to get my work-out out of the way!  Unfortunately even though I love to dance, I still sometimes feel like I want to "get it over with."  It's so much better for me if I do it in the morning because I feel accomplished and like I can do whatever I want the rest of the day and my evening especially is free. 

Unfortunately, my body doesn't always cooperate!  My work-outs are much stronger in the later afternoon, early evening.  But of course, that's when everything else in life is going on so it's not always possible...and I hate my work-outs more if I have to miss something fun to do them.


So here I am, starting my week 3 of Cize with "Go For It" barely awake on my Saturday morning.  My brain was still asleep and this one was technically difficult!  As I said in my previous post, it's amazing how the 1st time you try a dance it seems so hard (maybe impossible!), but the next time, it seems easier and maybe even fast moves seem to slow down.  I sure hope this happens with this routine!  I always like it when Shaun T throws in a slow couple of steps so my mind can catch up (and my breath!) haha.  There didn't seem to be a time like that for this one!!!


This dance was appropriately titled.  I really had to tell myself to go for it. My brain seemed to understand the moves, but body just wasn't cooperating.  They seemed so fast today too that it was hard to really "get into it" because I was just trying to keep up! Still a fun one though and I can't wait to really get it down (because I will!  I'm going to get this one down!).  :)  


The song is by Missy Elliott called "Pass that Dutch".  I may be revealing how "uncool" I am, but I don't think I've ever heard this song.  It's more difficult for the cize it up portion when I don't know the song I realized,  (I may or may not sing along...)  ;)


Celebrating a good Saturday AM work-out with my banana peanut butter chocolate shakeology and excited for Sia's "Chandelier" tomorrow!!!!
