(Here is me and my son at 6 months, and only about 30lbs lighter since his birth - I gained over 50lbs!!!)
I saw a post on Facebook from a friend, asking me to join a Challenge Group where I would virtually meet many others who, like me, were looking for weight loss, and an overall healthy change in their life. I joined....but man was I skeptical. I HATED the idea of working out at home, and completely did not believe that I could do it. But, I knew I needed to do something, and if that's what it would take, then I was willing to try anything at that point!
Upon joining, my ultimate goal was to be able to run again...like I used to. I wanted to get out there and run 10 miles like it was nothing, and that's what I set out to do. I started with Piyo, which helped me to strengthen my core again, and my posture improved. I moved onto T25, which improved my muscle tone and my cardio level, then back to Piyo where I was stronger than the first time...then I jumped on the Shakeology bandwagon and partnered it with 21 Day Fix to clean up my diet. My results soared!
Somewhere in there, I started running again, and although I'm not up to 10 miles (yet!), I can easily get through a 6 mile workout and feel like I could pump out a couple more. On top of that, I've lost 75lbs (20 lbs less than I was before pregnancy!!) and feel healthier than ever! I continue to drink my Shakeo every day, and follow along with the 21 Day Fix principles...which has become a lifestyle of it's own, and I'm loving it!
So that's my story...so far. I'm constantly growing each day, and have LOT'S more to share! Like, challenges I've faced along the way, to how I signed up for a 1/2 Marathon in November without really thinking (I tend to do that sometimes)...
Until next time!
xoxo
