Sexy-Sexy PNP Team...Here They Are!

Sorry the blog went dark for a couple of days, but I was at Jen Hendershott's Phat Camp in Nashville with a slew of the girls from all over the WORLD!!! Yes, Cass came from Serbia to be a part of one wild, fat burning, emotional, and hoochie top filled weekend.

On with our results show from the Fast and Furious Challenge! We now have Dawn's Sexy Seven (one person had to drop out) and their AMAZING results for you. Let's give them a huge round of applause. Tomorrow we will conclude with our last team and who WON!

Jill's results:

• Finished my first ever SPRINT TRIATHLON!!!
• As always I feel like I'm doing better with food 'issues.' I do have slip ups but those are coming fewer and farther between AND much, much less SEVERE than what they were 7 months ago when I started with PnP.
• I feel like exercise is really starting to click. I don't think about it - I just do it (I think cute workout clothes helped HA!)
• Loss of 1 inch... but can I just say the fact that I lost .5 inches in my WAIST AND RIBCAGE is AMAZING!!!
• Scale down 3.4 pounds,  my body fat % went down 1.4%

Dawn's results:

• DRUM ROLL PLEASE....I am officially in the 140's and I weigh 149.4!!! Which means I lost FOUR POUNDS OF NASTY FAT! 
•  My main goal was to get into some size 8 clothes that I have at the top of my closet and I have!!  4 more pairs of pants fit me that didn't 8 weeks ago. 

 Les's results:

• My weight lost is 4.5 pounds and my inches lost is 5.25.
• I bought and WORE a size 18 this week, and I can't even begin to tell ya'll how exciting it is to be down out of the 20's in clothing.
• I've developed some great habits in the last 8 weeks. I've avoided MANY icky situations at work with awful food (can you say bake sale?) because I came prepared with my healthy snacks. A rice cake and PB is MUCH better than some d@mn cookies! I have had MAYBE 8 or 10 soda's in the last 8 weeks---that includes diet or NOT. I've gotten to the point where I drink water. If I want something sweet to drink, I carry Crystal Light and I like it better than soda! I was drinking 1-2 sodas (mostly diet) a day, but that's virtually gone! I have had a "real" soda with my MB on most weeks, but for the most part, Soda is a thing of my past! I think of healthier alternatives to foods. I encourage my friends and family to do the same. I don't rely on drive-thru fast food. My whole mentality has changed, because I've learned to be more picky on what I put into my body!
• I FINISHED the FNF, which is more than I can say for BTF. I didn't do every single workout, but looking back at the whole 8 weeks, I averaged 4 workouts a week throughout the challenge. That's absolutely EXCEPTIONAL for someone like me, who would much rather be a sloth....LOL! I'm still working on the habit of exercise, but this challenge and being accountable to ya'll has really helped me get closer to that. As far as eating, I struggled at times, but I DID make the effort to eat better, do what's GOOD and not what's convenient. I planned, and my intentions were always there, just like my cooler. :0) And at the end of this challenge, I'm still posting here, and I feel like I'm getting stronger and stronger in mind and body every single day.

Caroline's results:

• I am down a total of 3.55" and down 5 lbs! I had the biggest loss in my abdomen where I am down 1 inch, and .75" in my bust.

Jess's results:

• I lost about 2lbs on this journey.  Sure, that wasn't much, and I didn't make my being in the 140's goal, but I did accomplish other things so I'm not sweating it.  
• I'm now wearing a SIZE 4!  
• During the challenge I tried HIIT for the first time.  I think it really does drop the fat, therefore it will probably always be a staple in my routine.  
• My arms are looking HOT!.  I made it a challenge to do some ab work and push ups on top of the workouts each day.  I did 50 pushups and 100 various ab stuff at least 4 days a week, sometimes 5.  My abs are looking better and my arms have really shown some definition that I didn't have before.  
• During this challenge I ran another 1/2 marathon, beating my best time.  We ran the 1/2 in 2:12:00.  My best time was 2:20 I believe, so I shaved off about 8 minutes.  
• Last, but certainly not least, my hubby has been inspired by my achievements.  (It only took a year, but he finally jumped on the PNP bandwagon).  My husband is doing so good.  This will begin his 4th week on workouts, protein shakes, and HIIT.  Remember I told you that he didn't care for HIIT, well, that changed.  He is doing about 3-4 HIIT routines a week, on top of 2-3 days lifting, and also 2 days of full court basketball at 1-2 hours each.  You guys, I am so impressed with his work.  We haven't measured, or taken any updated photos yet.  We want to give it a full 4 weeks before doing so, but I can already tell he is made great improvements.  His stomach looks leaner, his abs are starting to show some and his arms are getting ripped!  In fact, he has made several comments this week, that he really wants to get RIPPED!  I am just so excited for him. 

Julie's results:

• I lost 5 pounds.
• I lost 1 inch in my ribcage, 1 inch in each thigh, and 1/2 inch in my hips. I gained 1/2 inch in my tricips, which I think is actually a good thing.
• I am NOT there yet, but I am proud to say I am not totally embarassed of my arms and stomach anymore. YES, they are still my problem areas, but I tried on a swimsuit this weekend, and I felt good...weird huh?
• I started out lifting only 5 pound weights and ended lifting 8's or 10's for most exercises. I am a woman, hear me ROAR! haha
• The things I am most proud of is that me and Jessica didn't miss 1 FNF ST workout! We did 3 a week and never gave up or cut it short even when we hated it at times. I feel like I finished it and gave it 100%. That makes me proud.
