Since I see myself on a daily basis I don't realize the progress I've made. The first photo was taken in 2010 and I was probably about 155 lbs. The 2nd photo was taken a couple weeks ago and that morning I was at 131. The last photo of my back was taken yesterday at 132 lbs. Even when I'm trying on clothes I'm still surprised by the sizes I'm fitting into. I've been on this Beachbody journey for over 80 days. I think after the first couple of months I realized I craved the healthy life style. I enjoy the meals I eat and I feel like I'm truly fueling my body with what it needs. I love my morning workouts. I'm still putting my workout clothes out the night before so when I wake up it's the first thing I see. I'm not sure when I changed and really became addicted to healthy foods and exercise. Not in an obsessive way but I love the way I feel. I'm not tired, I have energy, I feel great, and I love how I fit in my new smaller clothes. Beach body now has an app called the Body Board app for people who are also doing these workouts and drinking shakeology. I truly enjoy it because I can post my daily workout selfies and I get to see other people doing the same. It is so encouraging to see so many people striving to live this heathy lifestyle as well.
Last weekend we went out of town and I enjoyed some beer, wine, pizza, pretzels, and desserts. However I also worked out and continued to drink my water. I thought for sure when I got home I'd be 5 lbs heavier, well I was actually 1 lb lighter!!! I was very pleasantly surprised. I started a new program that focuses more on lifting weights and she always says muscles burns fat as well as speeds up my metabolism. I think I finally found my balance. If I really want an ice cream, I have one but I'm conscious of the calories and try not to go crazy. I've noticed when I do indulge I feel really sick afterwards. I'm guessing thats a good and bad thing. It makes me indulge less and less for sure.
Thats my update for now!! Happy and healthy mama signing out :-)
