“HERE’S TO US. HERE’S TO ORDERING A SALAD WHEN YOU REALLY
WANT A BURGER. TO MAKING AN ASS OUT OF OURSELVES IN CARDIO HIP HOP CLASS. TO
DRINKING MORE WATER THAN SEEMS HUMANLY POSSIBLE. TO GOING FIVE MORE MINUTES ON
THE ELLIPTICAL. TO SAYING “SCREW YOU” TO THE OLD YOU. TO FALLING IN LOVE WITH
THE YOU WHO YOU WANT TO BECOME. TO LOOKING IN THE MIRROR AND NOT SEEING ANY
CHANGE, THROWING ON YOUR RUNNING SHOES AND WORKING OUT ANYWAY. TO LOOKING IN
THE MIRROR AND SEEING MAJOR CHANGE. HERE'S TO CARROTS AND SHIN SPLINTS, AND
SWEATY TSHIRTS, AND PERSEVERANCE, AND SORE MUSCLES, AND STINKY SOCKS, AND 7AM,
AND SPIN CLASSES, AND FALLING DOWN, AND GETTING BACK UP, AND BOTTLED WATER.
HERE’S TO GETTING UP EVERY DAY AND DOING IT ALL OVER AGAIN.”
As many of you know I have started my fitness journey in March! Here is a little background and my thoughts toward living a healthy lifestyle!
First off, I am human. I'm not perfect.. I have excuses, I have cravings, I have cheat meals, & I give in to not so clean food. This brings me to my first point. I am a firm believer of not cutting out your favorite foods! By cutting out certain food it makes you want it even more because you "can't" have it. Also once you eat the food you cut out you will gain all your weight back. Living a healthy lifestyle is ALL about clean eating and portion control!
Portion control is key to a healthy lifestyle, and to get the body you always wanted. The way I learned portion control is by using the 21 day fix. The 21 day fix comes with containers for each food group. You are allowed a certain amount of each container per day. (for more info email me cweighner@gmail.com) I still eat out, just pick healthy options. I still eat chocolate and ice cream but in portions. I hate when people say that they can't eat this or that.
I have had many people tell me I don't need to loose weight, & I don't need to be on a diet. I'm not on a diet. I simply changed my lifestyle and am living a healthier life. I was never overweight, but I let myself go. I wasn't happy with myself when I had to buy bigger pants, or when I had to change my outfits multiple times before finding one that fit. I didn't like what I saw in the mirror. I thought I could eat whatever I wanted and not work out.
I first heard about shakeology and beachbody in fall of 2013. I tried the sample packets and didn't "love" it. I wanted to order t25 but just couldn't see spending so much money. I made excuses. My coach then told me about the 21 day fix, I again made excuses and didn't order.. I finally sucked it up in March in ordered! I loved it, the work outs are fun, and short. Shakeology grew on me and now I LOVE it.. I canceled my monthly subscription after the first month.
That is when I realize how much I really did love shakeology. I felt tired, I didn't do my work outs, I had cravings. I then ordered a piyo challenge pack and became a coach.
I love being a beachbody coach because I love seeing people hitting their goals, and being excited about their results.
I noticed results in my clothes and pictures. Pictures are a must..
Like I said before I'm not perfect. In the past 9 months I have gave up, I have thought I don't need to be healthy anymore, I did enough. I have fell off the wagon more then once. But I get right back up and keep going at it. I am currently doing insanity max:30. I have maintained my goal weight, and continuing seeing results.
