SUMMER BEACHBODY SALE! Ends June 9th!

It's that time of year again folks and I didn't realize this but the first day of summer is right around corner (JUNE 21)!  I just spent the day at Ocean City yesterday with my fiancee and I felt the best I've felt in a LONG time.  Seeing myself in photos, I find myself no longer saying "ugh, I look fat" or "man, I need to lose weight".  Now, I look at my photos and say, "Dang, that hard work paid off!" or "I look so happy!".  I am so glad that I put in all that work over the long and grueling winter, because I'm really proud of the body I have right now - it is definitely summer ready!  

But I must state, if you want to make a change, you don't need an entire winter to start making one!  If you want to look and FEEL amazing, confident, carefree...then it's time to buckle down!

For those of you who have workout A.D.D. like me or who just want to get started with something new... now is the perfect time to stock up on some new workout programs because TeamBeachbody is having a Summer S-A-L-E!!  YIPPEE!

When: WEDNESDAY,  June 4th at 12pm PST until MONDAY,  June 9th 12pm PST (that's 3pm EST)

STATurday: My Journey with 21 Day Fix and Shakeology

Well, it has come.  I have one day left on the 21 Day Fix program and it has been a great one to follow these last 6 weeks.  Time goes so quickly, I can't believe that we are already here at the end.

Again, I really like the nutrition plan aspect of this program, the containers are fool proof and really help you with food portions.  Just last night, my own fiancée and I went out to dinner and decided to just split our meal - restaurants charge so much for one plate and the reason is because they give you anywhere between 2-4 servings per plate!  It also saves us money when we split a dinner plate and we are always completely full and satisfied.  Had it not been for this program, I probably wouldn't have known to make the adjustment when going out to eat at restaurants.

Weight:  152

 

 

I think my body was more toned when I started. Dang!  Pictures totally hold one accountable - look at the difference from 6 weeks ago to now. 

Weight:  154

 

Well, many people say that gaining weight means gaining muscle, but I think the pictures speak for themselves.  I have learned a valuable lesson from doing this program.  Not all programs are created equal and I need to be better about taking pictures and measurements to keep me motivated to continue on.  Does the excuse that my dogs ate my measuring tape sound reasonable as to why I haven't been measuring?  I mean, it really did happen and I've been too busy to pick up a new one!

NO ONE IS PERFECT, especially me.  I am not very proud of where I'm at right now, but this is a journey and I think that failing is part of it.  I'm better off than I was back in December 2013.  And I know that if I want change to happen, I have to keep working towards it.  I will have set backs and months where I get behind - but this is a journey.  It's about falling and getting back up again.  It's about never giving up and just being happy with yourself and seeing how far you've come. 
I am proud of myself.  I am proud of where I'm going and what I've become from this process. 

I am going to start P90x3 or Focus T25 again and see where it takes me.  I'm going to be really good at taking measurements again and holding myself more accountable with my decisions. 

Thank you for following me on my journey.  It's been an amazing one, that is for sure.  Looking at where I started, it really puts things in perspective.  This is me below - Day One - December 2013.

If I can do it, you can do it.  Don't ever give up.  Keep pushing - even when it gets hard and you feel like giving up. 

 

WE can do this.   

STATurday: My Journey with 21 Day Fix and Shakeology

I hope you don't mind me getting real here.  But, as I sit here writing this today I have come to the realization that this truly is a journey.  It is constant work and I am amazed at how far I've come and how much farther I can really go.

What is a journey anyway?  According to the dictionary it is an "act of traveling from one place to another".  So that then leads me to my next question which is, what am I traveling to?  What do I want? 

I want to live a healthy and happy life as well as be happy with my body and my weight.  I want to feel comfortable in my clothes.  I want to teach and help others on their own fitness journey.  That is what I still want and what I keep striving to achieve.

I have been doing the Beachbody programs since January 2014 and I've seen some amazing transformations within myself and my body.  Heck, I've even become a coach and am helping others by hosting Facebook Challenge Groups and offering guidance!  That has all been amazing and I love doing it. 

Yet as I sit here, I gotta be honest, I've been feeling incredibly down...  I feel like all of a sudden I don't know what to do next for my weight loss journey.  I have enjoyed the 21 Day Fix program and drinking my Shakeology daily, but I want to do more. 

These last few weeks have been a yo-yo when it comes to my weight loss.  I've been watching what I eat and exercising 7 days a week for the last 5 weeks for 30 minutes, but I've been noticing that the weight isn't easy to come off, I'm stuck.  I think that I'm in what everyone calls a "weight loss plateau".

What do I do now?  I'm stuck in the middle of my journey.  What does one do when you find that you aren't able to get to your goal?  The answer...??

Find another way...don't give up.

While I have enjoyed the 21 Day Fix program, I must say that it isn't working as well as I would have hoped.  I have lost some inches and the diet containers are amazing, but I think that since my body is in good physical condition I need to challenge it a bit more with some more intense cardio and weight training routines.  So this week, while I continue to finish out my last week of the 21 Day Fix program, I will be looking at purchasing another Beachbody program to see if it will help in my continuation of weight loss and losing inches.  I am trying to decide between Chalene's TURBOFIRE or INSANITY. 

Which one do you think I should try next?  COMMENT below on this post. 

I am planning on placing my order tomorrow - so let me know your thoughts.

Thank you for your continued support!
