LET ME SHARE A BIT WITH YOU TODAY...
Day 18 - Shoulders
Went from 10's to 12.5's in this 3rd week! Definitely felt challenged today...lots of grunting and huffing and puffing! But I did it!
Today's thought
Never Give Up
Wow!! It is amazing how much I have changed since I started my journey in February 2016!! I was so unhappy with myself on the inside. I stayed tired all the time and was simply depressed on just how bad I let myself go.
I want to share what Team Beachbody has done for me in just a short period of time. Before I started, I lived a very unhealthy lifestyle. I would shovel in so much junk food that it was insane.
I could eat over 6 slices of pizza, a medium blizzard, and would eat candy bars after that... Yeah I know that is a lot of food and it is really embarrassing actually.
That was nothing for me and I could do it every night... It was starting to become a habit... An awful one at that.
I knew I was borderline diabetic but that didn't stop me until I blacked out...I was spiraling out of control.
I never really cared for exercise, in fact, I despised it, BUT I wasn't always like this... I used to exercise and watch my weight until my surgery in 2006...
My fallopian tube had got twisted some how and started to get really big like a baseball / softball and was filled with gangrene.
I was in so much pain the day it started to act up. I was rushed to the ER where they thought it was my appendix and they prepped me for surgery only to find out it wasn't that at all... They took my fallopian tube out and told me not to exercise for 6 weeks. That was all it took!!!
I became so lazy during that period and fast food became my friend because it was so convenient.
From 2006 - 2016 my weight reached 225+lbs. I was 135 when I got married and I really let myself go.
It wasn't until my sister's wedding that I decided to take charge of my life again. After trying on the scary bridesmaids dresses, I decided to make a change and that sugar blackout helped too!!
My coach informed me of a 21 Day program. She said it would help me reach my goal if I kept at it. I was totally skeptical!! I was overweight for so long it seemed normal for me.
I was miserable and unhealthy but I knew it would take a lot of work. I thought it over and decided to go for it!!! I ordered the program and did they dang thing! Since then...I have lost 70 lbs and over 30 inches and I have stayed consistent this entire time!
I can see the confidence in my picture on the right!! I am much happier with myself and my sugar is now regulated. This program is very doable and one that works!!!
I am sorry, there is no magic pill...
Eating healthy and exercising 30 minutes a day is what I am doing!! I don't believe in quick fixes or drink this and that is all you have to do kind of thing...
The portion control nutrition system is amazing!! It has enabled me to buy clothes that I wouldn't dare try on before and that makes me feel so accomplished...plus my sugar levels are all good and bloodwork is amazing!
I chose to become a coach in February 2016 because I didn't want to give up on my journey after my sister's wedding. I knew my past and I wanted this time to be different!!!
Coaching is helping me stay accountable for my own actions. Not only do I get to help and inspire others to reach their goals, but I get to earn an income while doing it!!
It is so rewarding and we have a great team that is always there for support. I am loving this business and thankful I found it. I got my life back because of these programs and our support!
The key is...whatever your story...never give up...it will happen if you keep at it!
