Oh Hi! - Wedding in Three Months!

Oh Hi!-  Wedding in Three Months!

Well kiddos…it’s that time.  We’ve got three months (OhemGee) THREE FRIEKING MONTHS…until the wedding day.

It’s officially just enough time to totally transform your body according to one of our fitness faves, miss Tracy Anderson! 

While Tracy’s whole thing is that you really must do at least 30 minutes of dance cardio at least 6 days a week, as well as 30 minutes of her killer muscular structure work – if you’re anything like me, the 6 day a week workout just is NOT happening.
I either get BORED or start seeing results, because her method REALLY DOES WORK, and then start slacking off.

SO…here’s what I’m doing.

I do have the luck of having a fantastic fiancé that sends me to a trainer three days a week.
 (Ladies….I have to tell you, it’s a miracle worker.  If you can swing it, even once or twice a week – DO IT.  Having a personal trainer makes you ACCOUNTABLE, they make sure you’re doing everything the right way, and my fabulous trainer makes sure to switch moves and patterns up at every session, so I never ever get bored.)

I’ve been going to the trainer 3 times a week, for an hour each session, for about 3 months so far.  I absolutely can tell a huge difference, and on our most recent beach trip, had the confidence to post bikini photos to Instagram (@therealallieml)!  I’ve NEVER EVER wanted to show my legs or stomach in photos…so this was a HUGE accomplishment for me, confidence wise.

Now that we’re about 90 days away from the wedding though, it’s time to kick it up a notch and drop the last 10 lbs. that make the difference between photos that I LOVE and photos that I am ok with. 

Call it narcissistic….vain…crazy….but guess what?  I like to feel good.  And being healthy and in shape makes me feel GREAT!

So, the plan from now on, which started on Tuesday is this:
Monday – Trainer
Tuesday – Dance Cardio and Arms&Abs with Tracy Anderson
Wednesday – Trainer
Thursday – Dance Cardio, Arms and Abs
Friday – Trainer
Saturday & Sunday – At least 30 minutes of SOMETHING each day…will change it up to have fun.

While I DO RECOMMEND ordering Tracy’s Metamorphosis DVDS, because they are customized to your body type, you can get away with using YOUTUBE and still get a pretty killer workout in.
Here are my video recommendations and link to my fantastic trainer’s website!


Oh Hi! – Trainer
Bio From Her Site:
“Madeleine Conti is an American Council on Exercise (A.C.E.) Certified Personal Trainer and National Physique Committee (N.P.C.) nationally-qualified bikini competitor. Madeleine earned her certification through A.C.E. in January 2014, and shortly after competed in her first N.P.C. bodybuilding competition, where she placed second in her height class in the bikini division. By the end of 2014, Madeleine competed in four N.P.C. bodybuilding competitions with three 2nd place finishes, one 1st place finish, and one overall win.

Prior to becoming a personal trainer, bodybuilding competitor, and posing coach, Madeleine earned her Bachelor of Music degree in Percussion Performance from Georgia State University in 2013. It was her rehabilitation from three wrist surgeries throughout college that introduced Madeleine to health and fitness. After graduation, she decided to take her new healthy lifestyle to the next level by helping others, and six months later became a certified personal trainer through A.C.E. When Madeleine decided to compete in the bikini division of bodybuilding, she channeled her previous experience competing in Miss America preliminary pageants, where she won swimsuit at every one.

When Madeleine is not teaching or training clients in the fitness studio, or on the road for a long weekend of competition, she is teaching children piano, percussion, and drum set at Woodward Academy in College Park, GA.
