T-Tapp Clinic in Draper Utah
Last Friday I was so lucky to go and T-Tapp for at least 4 hours with 2 excellent trainers Kayla Howard and Charlotte Siems. From 2pm - 9pm I was re-introduced to muscles in my body that had been sorta dormant even with doing T-Tapp consistently for over a month! We started out doing an intensive training on the BWO+. Charlotte was great in teaching us new techniques that help engage more muscles as we go about the 15 min routine! Hand positions and a more narrow T-Tapp stance were key things I picked up. I also realized that I am not bending my knees as far as I can, as well as not engaging my Lats like I should have been. I am looking forward to the results this will produce for me in my upper thighs and back fat. I also am noticing how more often during the day or when I have to bend over to pick up toys etc, I am pulling my belly button to spine. I know that consistency in this will help reduce the abdomen.
We had a nice meal from Goodwood BBQ together. It was so great to meet other women from the Utah area with someone even from Idaho! I started a Thread on the T-Tapp Forums to help us support each other and keep us connected and accountable. We'll see if anyone other than myself participates. We also talked A LOT about Dressing Your Truth since the Clinic was held at the Center for Living Your Truth. If you want to learn more about this as well, go to http://clothingcoop.dressingyourtruth.com
Kayla ended the evening for us with 2 hours of INTENSE floor work and more fine tuning of the Total Workout. She became our drill Sargent and cheer leader! I thought I was doing pretty good on my form earlier in the day, but was corrected by Charlotte many times in the evening. Probably was too tired to hold good form. By 8:30pm and doing the Diva Derriere I knew I would be WAY sore the next day, which I welcomed!
Something that I also found encouraging is that as I observed the bodies of Kayla and Charlotte I realized how normal these women are. They are FIT and STRONG and TONED but don't look like the skin and bones versions of fit you might see in the media. My personal goal isn't to become the next size 0. I want to be the best Fit, Strong and Toned Tamarah that I can be.
Our Trainers were Awesome! Teresa does train us well over the videos, but there are many simple form tips that are much better implemented and corrected in person. I hear that Elizabeth Platt, a T-Tapp trainer from Southern California is planning on coming up to Utah for a Clinic in the Fall. There are trainers and events all over the United States so I would encourage you to attend one even if you have been T-Tapping for a while and especially if you are new to the system. It will make your results that much better to be doing the moves correctly and to the best of your ability.

God Made, Man Made
Since I finished my 30 day January Jumpstart Challenge I am glad to say I am still going strong. I have found the courage to start working on my choice of food now.
Just for the record:
Feb 28 - TWO
Feb 29 - Spinning Class - 30 min of death!
March 1-6 Aunt Flo came to visit and I just couldn't do much that week for both emotional and physical reasons.
March 7 - TWO
March 8 - BWO+ and 4 miles @ gym.
March 9 - BWO+
March 10 - BWO+ and 4 miles @ gym.
March 11 - can't remember
March 12 - off
March 13 - off
Today - March 14 - Critter Crunch 1 hour Instructional.
I have been holding steady on my inches lost. Gained more weight. I realized though that my "at the heart of it issue" isn't about my ability to get up and MOVE. My struggle is my relationship with food. What I choose to eat and how much I eat of it. I am more willing now to say NO to certain foods because saying NO means I am saying YES to ME!
I might have a slight problem with thinking that if I don't take advantage of the great food in front of me NOW, then it won't be there in the future. So, basically living in a scarcity mentality. This morning I told myself that I don't have to do this anymore. I am not going to starve. Food will always be available, sweets will be there too. I can enjoy those later. I am just going to focus on my NOW.
I started a food journal today. NOT my favorite thing, but I want to hold myself accountable, so for the next while I get to write out all I eat, record my exercises and maybe share a bit of the emotions around what I choose to eat.
I am also excited to have joined a dinner/recipe program called the Six O'clock Scramble. Dinner is always my hardest meal of the day. I receive the Menu on Wednesday for the next weeks meals. I do my shopping on Saturday and start my new meals that night. These meals are healthy and great! Providing the main course as well as a healthy side dish. Last night was Egg Noodles with Cabbage and Onions and a side of Artichokes. I consider that tasty AND healthy.
The other food aspect of letting go of my weight/size is implementing in my own way Teresa Tapp's diet program called God Made, Man Made. Basically for 2 days in a row you eat God Made foods. The 3rd day you are allowed to have a bit more Man Made kind of foods. I think the focus here is to create a pattern of moderation. I like that.
When you order her Start-up Program the GM/MM guidelines are included. Teresa says the program "is a straightforward way of training your body to process Man Made carbohydrates to keep weight under control."
So in trying to focus on what I CAN have on GM days here are some options you might be surprised by.

Proteins: LEAN MEATS, raw ALMONDS
Dairy: I was sorta surprised by this one.
Veggies: Of Course!
Fruit: Considered God's Candy. Keep to 2 servings a day. Keep it fresh, when possible!
Bread, Grain, and Rice: QUALITY, QUALITY, QUALITY! Whole grains without preservatives. (Go Ezekiel Bread!)
Sugar & Fat: MODERATION in honey and dried fruits, also butter and olive oil.
LOTS & LOTS of WATER
