My first round of 21 Day fix kicked my butt; it was so worth
it though. I started this program a year after I had my second child. I did try
to lose weight right away after I had her but nothing was working, I jogged, I
ate less carbs but the weight was coming off so slowly. I was beginning to get
super depressed. I knew I had to do something different. I worked part time and
so going to a gym was not an option. Not only because of time, but I honestly
just couldn’t afford it. Then, one day I saw my friend posted her before and
after and our babies are about the same age and WOW, I said I have to do what
she is doing. I inboxed her about the details and she told me about a clean
eating challenge group. I decided I wanted to be a part of this group. Through
the group I learned more about clean eating, shakeology and the new and amazing
work outs that Beachbody has. I agreed with my friend to give it a try. I was
all in!!!! I took pictures of my body that literally made me cringe but I knew
it was what I had to do. I needed to face the cold hard reality of what I
looked like. I needed to decide if I was happy with that image and honestly I
wasn’t.
So the challenge began… I started the 21 day fix challenge
group and met so many amazing supportive people who had similar goals to mine.
We kept each other completely accountable and that’s exactly what I needed.
That push to go hard and be consistent. I realized a lot of time we convince
ourselves we don’t need to push harder but we do. The workout kicked my butt; I
was completely out of shape. By the end of the challenge I not only lost 13
pounds but was also was able to do a full burpee without modification. That
alone blew me away. So you ask whats next?
What comes after the 21 days? Well I am doing it again and again
until I need no modification, then I am moving on to Insanity Max 30!!!!
Working out and drinking Shakeology has giving me a new energy I didn’t know I
had. I didn’t need coffee or diet pills.
Also what really
helped me is what I learned from the clean eating challenge. I have cut out
processed food and sugar and I also used the portion control containers from
the 21 Day fix program. Weight loss is 80% nutrition and 20% exercise.
I am still on my way to my fitness goals but I posted my before
and after picture to show people, If I can do it so can you. In the past I
would have never shown a full body shot but I know with my determination, commitment
and results I have no need to shamefully hide anymore.
Because of the great support I got from my coach and the
challenge group, it has inspired me to do the same for other people. It can be
difficult to make a choice about changing your lifestyle and exercising. Like I
said before I know if I can do it so can you and I want to help you do it too!!!
