Day 20 of the TR90

Today I am on day 20 of the 90 day challenge I set myself up for, together combining with healthier eating plans, supplements and working on the body engine (AKA metabolism).
As promised, I will complete a diary entry, which I have a book for that I use to jot down what I eat, and whether I have hunger or cravings for it, and also where I eat it. This allows me to keep track of how I feel during a day of work as time goes on.

At first, I struggled with the eating because on some days I would eat very little and just snack on high energy foods in between what I do, or some days I would eat big portions of meals, 3-6 times a day. Usually every 2-3 hours I get really hungry, and when I say hungry, I mean like my stomach rumbles for feeding. I do tend to get abit moody when I am hungry as I am demanding for food and do have dizzy spells when I don't eat within a few hours. I just need food all the time basically, my handbags always have emergency food and I am always cooking and eating hehe.....

Following the TR90 food plan is tricky at the start as you have to cut out certain foods and replace it with protein. I cut out crisps over 3 months ago as I was eating 3+ packets per day!! I love crisps, I would happily sit there and eat 3 packets in one sitting! The last time I ate crisps, I ate 28 packets of Hula Hoops in 4 days! I said to myself ' I have got to stop ' and I did! I feel better for it and as soon as I started the TR90 program, I knew I would have more of a challenge as my favourite foods would be constantly on my mind.

I have no self control when it comes to eating, I don't know when to stop and I dont know if I am hungry unless my stomach growls at me, and sometimes when my stomach does growl, I dont feel like eating so I dont. The TR90 helps to work on the mindset, perfect for me as that's where one of my main problems are!! I keep a track record of my cravings and hunger and I can see now my cravings are less and I know when to stop eating now. Every meal is measured in portions simply by using your hands.

I have put on 4kg but my body is more defined and I can feel my stomach is not as flabby as before which I am loving, I am not an exercise type of person as I know during the day/night when I work, I am constantly running about and up on my feet. However, I have started spending atleast 4 whole minutes on 100 reps atleast per day to help me lose the fat quicker!
 I am continuing to be constantly up on my feet and using weights to tone up my arms, am not hungry as often anymore but I do have cravings for vegetables even more than usual, which isn't a bad thing I suppose!

Sweet potato seeded salmon salad with a dollop of light cream cheese

Here is an example of one of my meals this week......




I have bought sweet potatoes before but now I eat it a few times a week as part of my non meat protein options. Sweet potatoes are high in anti-oxidant beta carotene which may help slow the ageing process and reducing the risk of some cancers. I really enjoy eating them now!

Day 4 of the TR90

Right now it's 03:05am, and am wide awake as am doing night shifts at the hospital this week - I hate reversing my body clock.
I don't get use to it although everyone seems to think I do and no, I don't enjoy it simply because my mind can't stay active all the time, therefore I take supplements to build up my immune system! Without them, I would be a wreck lol!!

So I have completed 3 full days of the TR90, don't know if my body has lost any fat yet as I have found out tonight my eating plan was kind of wrong lol. As am doing night shifts this week, I wake up and eat proteins with the carbs because I don't eat for about 12 hours before I actually wake up for the shift. I become hungry and need the energy to keep me going as it would be at least about 8 hours before I can eat again so I eat some carbohydrates to keep my energy levels going! I realised I should be eating the carbohydrates in my last meal before bed as the body starves whilst I sleep. This makes sense to me but at the same time it doesn't.
Whenever I do night shifts, I sleep 6 hours maximum, broken sleep so I don't actually get the right number of hours sleep that I need. My body is awake for 15-18 hours per day and hardly have time to rest. Due to the nature of my job, it's not easy to just have a rest and sitting down to eat can be a chore.

I work as a nurse full time and my shifts are 12.5 hours at a time at least so I am up on my feet majority of the time dealing with high levels of stress but I am happy all of the time. Infact, its rare for me to be unhappy unless I really really am lol!

I have kept my TR90 diary, writing down my moods, the foods I eat and which supplements I Have taken for the day. I take my multi vitamins which help to boost my immune system and look after my heart as well as my eyes and brain function which is vital for what I do.
So far, I have been craving and been constantly hungry during my night shifts. It has been so cold lately therefore my body is trying to adjust to the colder temperatures and the stress of the job is higher!  have sat down to snack and eat my food which help to fill me but I am craving for vegetables even more than usual! I often crave for dark chocolate whenever I am low in energy, I enioy the chocolate flavour protein bars from this TR90 and they are filling. They are actually I meal replacement!

Today I am off work so I will sleep at dawn, wake up in day time (which will be weird to see day light) and do what I gotta do... eating the right way as recommended in the TR90 system.

I have to confess, I haven't done the 100 reps exercise either.... I will start tomorrow as day 1!

Love Love seeing peoples results in the TR90 group on facebook, I can't wait to be measured up after 2 weeks.... although my pictures taken the night before I started day 1 weren't exactly great LOL but I don't care!! I am a walking testimonial !

The start of Nu Skin TR90 challenge!!

Today is going to be an exciting day as it will be day 1 of a 90 day challenge program I have set myself up for! With the help from Nu Skin I am starting the TR90 worlds first genetic weight management program!
Now, you might look at me and judge me thinking why am I going on it? I get that A LOT which is why the next 90 days is going to be so exciting for me and for my viewers! There will be a diary of the 90 day journey so watch this space!!

TR90 was only available for a limited time offer for a few days but due to it's high demand world wide, 20,000 kits were sold in 90 minutes across Europe! Not only that, in Greater China 20,000 kits were sold in 1 day, Korea sold theirs in 4 hours and in America it sold out in 30 minutes!
WOW!!!


With the advanced genetic science to prove this weight management program, it has become the worlds first genetic launch of a new era! Nu Skin shares had gone up dramatically in such a short time! and more and more people have become more health conscious , which is fantastic!!



I was super excited to receive my TR90 as I was VERY lucky to have been able to buy it! It was available from 8am on the 7th October 2013.... facebook went crazy as people were uploading photos and statuses! LOL!




So why did I buy it? Well,  I really really wanted to do something about my internal and external sources of weight management which is what the TR90 is specifically for. It gives you your adequate supplements, and stops you from yo-yo dieting which is what I have been doing all my life - it ain't good for my body in the long term!
Dieting actually makes you fat - sounds so wrong but it damages your body engine which helps you to lose the 'weight' but did you know that muscles are heavier than fat? so if you're losing the fat but building the muscles, you are bound to weigh more. It's all about looking and feeling, not the scales.

The kit includes:

TR90 JS  Your 2-week boost to get you primed and ready for lasting success.

TR90 COMPLEX F Rev up your body’s system! Ingredients such as green tea extract will help you to enhance your metabolism.

TR90 COMPLEX C Is your mind ready to feel the transformation? Complex C will help strengthen your willpower while you are on your journey!

TR90 M-BARS An easy and delicious solution that removes the guesswork − giving you the protein you need to contribute to a growth and maintenance in muscle mass.

TR90 Programme Guide This essential guide is complementary to the TR90 supplements. It includes an eating plan, exercises and a 90-day diary.
