Committed to Getting Fit

9 months ago I was at a very different point in my life than I am today. I was 30+ pounds overweight and very depressed about my body. I knew I had to do something but going to the gym everyday just wasn't practical for me and my family. I needed something I could either do with the kids or at home while they were sleeping. I started doing the Insanity workouts and was immediately hooked. I could hardly get up off the floor at the end of the workouts and I was sweating profusely but I loved it! Every day I would get up before the kids and go to play room and do my workout. My husband was very supportive and watched the kids when he was home so I could workout. It became a routine and I was just watching the numbers drop on the scale. I started to have more energy and I was doing all right.

Unfortunately, I hit a point about 30 days in where I stopped losing weight. When I took my 30 day pictures I was sad that I didn't see more of a change. I was discouraged and frustrated with it. I was working out so hard and watching what I ate but I couldn't drop the pounds. I was introduced to the principle that your weight loss is 80% nutrition, 10% exercise and 10% genetics. Then, out of no where a friend of mine messaged me on Facebook and told me about her slim down challenge and asked if I wanted to be a part of it. I agreed to give it a try. I signed up with a free account on teambeachbody.com and started my profile. I took pictures of myself so that I could have something to compare to. I didn't share the pictures with anyone, but I kept them to myself for motivation. I was added to the slim down challenge Facebook group where I was provided with tons of motivation and support from other people who were doing the same challenge. I am addicted to eating clean and when I don't eat clean my body feels sluggish and heavy. I have totally changed the way I shop for food and cook my meals. After 60 days I could tell a huge difference in my body.  I had finished Insanity and I chose to start the 21 Day Fix and Shakeology. I completed 2 rounds and lost 32 pounds!!  I have gained my self confidence back.

 

Because of the great support I got from the group I decided that I wanted to do the same thing for other people. It is so hard to make the choice to commit to changing your life and exercising. I did it and I want to help others do it too. I want to be your support system and motivation to stay focused. I love helping other people and this is just another way I can share the knowledge I have gained about weight loss and nutrition with others.
