Getting My Fitness & Nutrition Groove On With The Skinny Confidential's Bombshell Body Guide!

Hey loves! So, one of the things I have been trying to make more of an effort doing lately is to exercise more regularly and to be more mindful of what I'm eating - not always easy for either (thanks to back issues and intense hormonal cravings), but once I set my mind to do something, I'm not easily deterred!

I'll be honest, I've tried other fitness and nutrition guides over the years, some were meh and one I loved, but almost all of the exercises were just not a good fit for my back issues and the recipes on some of the plans were either boring, extremely restrictive or required lots of crazy and expensive ingredients that I just didn't want to be bothered with! I don't want to diet, I want a healthier lifestyle!

Enter the TSC Bombshell Body Guide!


Created by one of my favorite bloggers ever, Lauryn Evarts of The Skinny Confidential and fitness and health guru Jamie McFadden, this guide seems like it was designed for people like me - busy, dealing with injury or chronic pain, not wanting to spend lots of time prepping or cooking meals, but still wants results while enjoying yummy foods!

The guide is a 28 week fitness and nutrition program that consists of 27 minute workouts that you do 3 days a week and includes some of the most amazing, easy to make, addictively delish recipes you'll ever find (obsessed with the chia seed jam)!

I'll admit, I was a bit nervous about the exercise portion, especially since I was taking this on right when my back had gone out in the worst possible way! BUT, I braved it anyways as soon as I was able to stay off the couch. I focused on the exercises I knew I could do (lunges, planks, arms) and before I knew it, I was able to do more! This is a big freaking deal for me! Just when I thought I was going to have to pack it in and give up, I dug in my heels and kept going..and found myself getting stronger! Which of course, made me want to keep doing them and trying more of the exercises!

The best part, is that you don't need fancy equipment, just two 3-5 pound weights and a bench or a chair, so you can do these exercises in your living room while you are watching tv! I love that Lauryn's instructions for the exercises are so easy to follow that even if you have never exercised in your life, you can pick these up right quick! They're also effective and I mean you see results faaaasssst! I also love that you only need to do them for 27 minutes, 3 days a week - so even if you are uber busy, there is still time enough to do them..I mean come on, it's the amount of time it takes to watch a sitcom!

As for the nutrition portion, what I love is that I really didn't need to modify my eating habits much at all. Like Lauryn, I try and eat as clean as possible, opting for organic, whole foods over processed garbage. Of course, I do still like my glass of wine with dinner, chips and salsa to snack on and dark chocolate for dessert and on this plan, you can have that..in moderation. It's about balance, not deprivation, which is what I want! There's also a 7 day meal plan, a 3 day juice cleanse, and a weekly food journal, meal and calorie tracker as well as a grocery list you can print out to help make things even easier! And don't worry if you don't see many recipes geared towards vegetarians or vegans, these recipes can easily be adjusted to suit those preferences!


Another plus of this plan is that it is affordable! You can get all the deets here.

And it's completely downloadable too, so you can take it with you and do it where ever you go! :-)

I can't stress enough how much the TSC Bombshell Body Guide has helped me - I've struggled with chronic pain from back issues for ever and am currently dealing with some other nasty health problems, so I haven't really lost much weight (if at all, though I have lost some inches..yay!), but I feel myself getting stronger, having less pain, and recovering quicker and for me that is enough to jump for joy over! You definitely need to check this out! Like STAT! :-)
