I started eating better and exercising at the beginning of June. I am now 5 months into my journey, and I am pretty excited about what I have accomplished. I have set up a Clean Eating Recipes group on Facebook and I love sharing the clean recipes that I find with my friends and family. I have an Accountability group on Facebook too, and the 15 ladies that are a part of the group inspire and motivate me to keep truckin' on in this process. Today we started a challenge to move for 30 minutes a day while eating as clean as possible. The support and encouragement from the group is infectious and I am so happy to be sharing in this transformation process with all of them.
I hosted a 21 Day Fix challenge in October and the 5 ladies that are in my group are now on their second round of the "Fix." This program is an amazing teaching tool for portion control. Clean eating has been so beneficial for me. I feel better, I have lost weight, I have more energy and I know that I'm nourishing my body the best that I know how.
I'm going to be starting a new fitness challenge group on November 10 and I'm really excited because PiYo is on sale this month. PiYo has been such a wonderful workout for me as my background has been in dance. I love that I took a year off from teaching, and haven't trained in dance in quite a few years, but PiYo has given me back flexibility, strength, and has even started to give me some muscle definition!! What?! I'm in the best shape of my life and I can thank PiYo, the 21 Day Fix and Shakeology for that. I stepped on the scale today and I was shocked that I'm down 11 pounds and 14.45 inches.
I'm embarrassed to show these pictures, because I can't believe that I used to be the "before" picture, but I'm also proud to show these pictures because I can now say that I am the "after" version. It's taken a lot of will power and support from my husband, friends, and family to get to this point, and I don't want to go back to before. I love that Beachbody allows me to coach because it keeps me accountable and moving forward in my journey.
This is before and after the 21 Day Fix - that's right...just 21 days and I was able to make these changes!
This is my progress after 60 days of PiYo
I started this journey for my health. I don't want to be a fitness model, I just want to be around to watch my children grow up. I want to live a life with energy where I can play outside with my children and not be exhausted. I don't want to be stuck on a couch, wasting my life away because I don't feel like doing anything of purpose. I would still like to tone a little more, because my body has seen its wear and tear after two children, but I'm proud of where I have taken myself in these last 5 months.
Your wings already exist, all you have to do is FLY!
