is not a certified trainer. However, her client list speaks volumes to me, as does the results I'm getting only partially following her plan. As an aside, look sweetie, I found a picture of her smiling! Didn't think I could get that done, did ya ;-).We had brunch with some friends on Sunday (yes...I happily ate off-plan) which turned into a dinner invite and dinner party. I was already planning to cook TAM meals for the week, so tried them out feeding other people and everyone was happily surprised - so yummy!! We ate the Baked chicken and broccoli dish marinated in orange juice/agave syrup and the Chicken/tofu steamed over veggies and broth. Lots of compliments to the chef and I have lots of compliments to Tracy. Diet food never tasted so good and found we actually like kale.
At this point, I am only partially following the TAM 30-day plan. As most of you would agree, with the busy lives we lead, a strict 30-day-anything can be hard to follow. So there will be no stressing over the 30-day regime stretchning to 45 or 60 days. Expectations have been adjusted accordingly. Love, love, LOVE the meals! I have to call Tracy a bit of a control freak on the meals. I am NOT going to eat exactly what she wants when she wants everyday. Just not in my DNA. And without a juicer and no store selling it, the kale juice is just not going to happen, sorry TA.
The recipes are, however, not as difficult as some diet plans I've tried previously and I'm likely to stick with it. The Mango chicken has already been requested again by the family, that's high praise indeed!! HealthyFitFantastic blog has the recipe here.
I have been following the meals for at least 2/3 of what I eat. Even when I'm not getting that done, just understanding the principles (very little carbs, avoid most dairy, lots of fruits and vegetables) I think it's making a tremendous impact and I'm seeing results! So now, on to the results...
Days: 10
Mat workouts: 6 and up to 40 reps of each exercise
Dance cardio: 4 but still only 30 minutes due to injury/boredom/time
Meal plan: Ate approximately 2/3 of my meals on the plan but have been unwilling to completely give up the greatest gifts known to moms...coffee and wine
Results: lost 7 lbs and 2 inches!
With moderation built into Tracy Anderson's Method, I can sincerely recomment this as a a plan that is sustainable for a busy person's schedule. At this pace I'll finish the 30-day plan by Labor day, and can get her Metamorphosis DVDs to workout through New Year's!!!
It'sABusyLife,
Danielle
