ABOUT THE PROGRAM:
FAVAO is fantastic for any busy lady(or man)!
I love the simplicity and bursting flavor of all the meals. I have to admit, I'm a bit picky when it comes to food (which I am getting much better with) and when I saw a couple of the recipes I thought it sounded like a funky combo- with that said- every single time I sat down to eat, I was delighted with the flavor and never got up hungry. In fact a few times, I've had to make myself eat the next meal on time, because I wasn't hungry yet.
We have really enjoyed sitting down together as a family for the meals and talking about how good everything has been and how great we feel eating better for our health & our family!
Other quick thoughts on the program:
The meals are quick & easy.
The exercise can be done is less than 30 minutes (and you feel it!)
The team is supportive and hold you accountable to your goals.
There isn't anything that XanGo has missed in this FAVAO program. www.xango.com
ABOUT ME:
Here is my discovery that I would like to share with you this week about me: I fooled myself into thinking exercise had to be time consuming!
For about 2 years now, I have talked myself out of exercise for various reasons- it takes too long, I don't want to sweat because I have to be somewhere and don't want to shower again, I don't want to get up early, I'm exhausted the majority of the time, I don't have a plan to follow, I'm not that disciplined- I need to go to a class or have someone to keep me accountable and on and on and on! DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR FRIENDS?!?! EXCUSES EXCUSES EXCUSES!
WELL- I am turning over a new leaf! I have exercised at least every other day (by myself most days!) since starting the FAVAO program. This journey has really opened my eyes to a new perspective of ACTIVITY! I have decided not to call it exercise anymore- but just simply being active.
I do follow the guidelines in the program for resistance training and do that as a fun activity with the boys on the floor in the morning. Caleb has so much fun with me, even though push ups aren't as easy with an extra 25lbs hanging on you:) Zachary loves watching us move around!
For cardio, I just do what fits in our day. Sometimes we walk, sometimes we go to the park, sometimes we go shopping or rummaging. As you can see my picture this week- I was sliding with Caleb at the park and we had so much fun. In the past I would have just sat at the bottom of the slide and watched- out of pure laziness- not out of inability! I just feel so good that I am showing the boys that exercise can be a part of our day together!
