Looking back over the past 6 months...

I can't believe that in 10 short days it will be 6 months since I started my Health and Fitness journey as a Beachbody coach!  I can still remember the first post that I did on my Facebook page about my nutrition struggles!  I was so nervous about this post and what people would think of me!

Most of you know that I started a new journey in my life a few weeks ago (clean eating) but what most of you do not know is that I LOVE junk!! Let me rephrase that, I was ADDICTED to junk!! I always loved it but at some point in my life it turned into having to have it every day! I thought that if I ran 5, 7 or more miles a day then I should be able to have these things or that I earned them. When I started the 21 day fix extreme program on June 29th, I was determined to kick this addiction! I am not going to lie, it was hard but I feel so much better as a result. I still have a "Treat" every once in a while, which is fine because I know that I do not need it every day. It is no longer a "Treat" when you have to have it every day, or even more than one a day. The "Treat" is now party of your everyday diet. It is your choice what you eat, how much and how often but keep in mind that if you have treats too often you may not like the results...I know I didn't!!smile emoticon
The Beach body programs are not quick fixes or "diets," but a lifestyle way of eating that help you eat more nutritiously and will help you lose weight, producing a healthy fit body. It quickly becomes your way of life! Message me if you want help with kicking the junk food to the curb!!

Now looking back on this post, I can honestly say that becoming a Heath and Fitness coach with Beachbody was one of the best decisions that I have ever made!!  I would NOT change the last 6 months of my life!!

I have learned so much about myself over these past 6 months!  I am happy to report that I have not had soda since June 28th!!  This is a huge accomplishment for me.  On the other hand I have learned that I will probably always struggle with sweets.  Even though I wish they weren't, they are my downfall. The holiday season was killer for me.  I did have lots of treats and even though I enjoyed every last bite, I am much happier when I don't eat them.  I love how I feel inside and out when I am eating clean.  It is truly amazing how your mind and body feels when you consume all natural and fresh foods.

I also have to give a big shout out to all my 2015 challengers.  You all are amazing and I am so very proud of each of you for trusting in me as your coach and in the Beachbody programs and Shakeology!  You are the reason I do what I do each day!!

The Struggle is Real for "Me" too!!

Let's go back one year ago and take a look at me.  Most of you would look at the picture below and think that I looked fine and didn't need to lose much weight.  You are correct, I didn't have a lot of weight to lose but I was not happy in my own skin.  I didn't feel confidant in a bathing suite and really wanted to shed those extra pounds after my last pregnancy.  The sad thing is that no matter how hard I tried I just couldn't lose it!

 *Picture take in Sept 2015*

Most of you know that I am runner and I LOVE it but no matter how often I ran or how long my runs were it just wasn't cutting it.  One of the main reasons for this was because I ate like shit!!  I would drink soda and eat junk all the time!  I became addicted to those things, needing them every day just like an addict needs alcohol and/or drugs.  I just didn't know how to stop the vicious cycle.  I had tried many times but would fail and the cycle would start again.  The really sad thing was that I would hide this from my family and friends.  No one really knew that I struggled with this every day.

Finally in April, 2015 I knew I had to change something.  I started to really watch what I was eating and I was able to lose a couple pounds for my summer vacation but I was not where I wanted to be.  In June 2015 I decided join a 21 Day Fix Challenge Group.  This was my second attempt.  I failed my first attempt :(  The second time was different.  I was committed 110% and I wanted to change my lifestyle and feel comfortable in my own skin.  After two weeks into the program I decided I wanted to continue with this journey not only as a challenger myself but as a coach.  I wanted to help others like me!   

In Aug 2015 after two rounds of the 21 Day Fix Extreme program, I finally had abs and toned up my whole body.  I have NEVER had abs before in my life.  Not even before kids!!  I finally felt amazing on the inside and out.  I had confidence that I never had before and I was so proud of myself!

In Oct 2015 I got a little too confident with my progress and decided that I could have a cookie here, party snack there and a few too many glasses of wine!  Within about 2 to 3 weeks I had gained a few pounds back and started to notice the my stomach wasn't how it looked in Aug and Sept.  I also started to feel how I felt a year ago about myself.  What was I doing, I just worked so hard and why would I let everything go just for a few to many cheat days!!  I have to admit that I am human and the struggle is also real for me just like it is for everyone else out there.  Yes, I get up and workout every day and try to eat as clean as I can but sometime life does get in our way (parties, dinners out, Birthdays, Holidays and the list goes on).  We have to be aware of this and continue even when we fall off the wagon. 

Right after Halloween another coach and I decided to give the Ultimate Reset a try.  God knows I needed it!  The picture above was taken on Day 1 ( Nov 5th).  

This program has truly been amazing and has tested my limits!  Today is my last day of the Ultimate Reset and I can't wait to share my journey with all of you.

Here is a sneak peak of my progress in just 15 days...
Stay tuned for my Ultimate Reset review!! I will be posting my journey on Sunday, November 29th. I will review the whole program, post pictures and recipes of the food I ate, my achievements and struggles over the last 21 days!

The Struggle is REAL!!!

It has been 3 months since I started my new health and fitness journey and I absolutely LOVE it and I know my body LOVES it too.  I haven't had a soda in over 3 months!  I never thought I would get to the point where I didn't crave a soda.  This was a huge accomplishment for me.  I used to drink 2/3 soda's a day!  My body/mind would crave one if I didn't have one or I would get a horrible headache if it had been too long since I had one.  I have also cutout a lot of processed foods for the past 3 months.  I try to buy healthier snacks, if I am going to have snacks in the house.  I try to cook meals at home or I pick healthier options when I do go out to lunch or dinner.   Overall I have been doing great with my program and feeling great.  The past week not so much and it has been a real struggle for me!

I went out to dinner on Wednesday with a friend and we definitely splurged.  The food was amazing and I enjoyed every bite, that was until I got home and my body started to digest the food I just ate.  I started to feel very full and bloated.  Then on Friday we went out to dinner again.  Saturday we had a home tailgate party with lots of goodies!!  By Saturday evening my body just wanted some clean and healthy food.  I was actually craving a salad and that is what I had.  I have been trying to get back on track but my body still does not feel right after last week.  It is pretty amazing to see how your body reacts to certain foods once it hasn't had them in so long along and/or with the extra calories.

One of the things I noticed after a few days of eating all this delicious food was that I had not gone to the bathroom in 2 days!  This used to be normal for me but since I started drinking shakeology and eating clean, it is no long an issue for me.  I don't know about you but I HATE that feeling!!  I have also worked really hard to reach my health and fitness goals over the past 3 month and do not want to slip back into my old habits.  

I decided today that I need a little "3 Day Refresh" to reset my body and placed an order for it today.  I can't wait for it to get here, so I can start it!

What I have learned from this past week?  

1.  I don't ever want to go back to eating the way I used to eat

2.  I need to make sure that I don't splurge too many times in one week

3.  I LOVE eating clean

4.  My body LOVES it when I eat clean

I have also learned that eating clean is not a diet, it is a lifestyle change.  You will be amazed at how different your body is going to look and feel after a few weeks of doing it.  Once you start to see the results, you will not want to turn back!!  I want you to know that it is not always easy for me and I do struggle!  I love that I have my Beachbody team and challengers to help keep me focused.  

My next challenge group is starting on Monday, Oct. 19th and we will focus on eating clean for 21 days!  I would love to have you join me!!  It's only 21 days and I guarantee that you will feel 100% better than you do today, what do you have to lose?

Transformation Tuesday

I am currently in my third round of 21 Day Fix Extreme and I definitely love the way my body is reacting to my new lifestyle.  Over the last 51 days I have been working really hard to step up my fitness program and watching what I am putting into my body each day.  I am not perfect and have had my share of cheat days but I am so happy with the results I have been seeing.  I never thought that I would be able to have abs after having kids and I always thought that it would take forever to get them.  Well...I am hear to prove to you that you can definitely have abs after having kids and it does not take a long time to achieve them!!

I am sure you are all wondering what I am doing to achieve these kinds of results?!  

It is simple, I do the 21 Day Fix Extreme 30 min workout.  I also mix it up with running.  I eat clean and use the 21 Day Fix food guide and containers.  I drink 1/2 my body weight in oz of water each day.  I drink one shakeology shake everyday.

This is NOT a diet!!  

I have never once felt like I have been on a diet.  This is simply a new health and fitness lifestyle that I have decided to follow.
