In 2008 I got up to 178 pounds. When I realized I was that heavy I thought to myself... that is practically 180 pounds, what is going to stop me from getting to 200 pounds? I went from being a college athlete running several miles a day in practice and games to struggling to make it to the gym more than twice a a week. It was a slippery slope.
Then I hurt my back pretty badly and went through physical therapy for months. That's when I became even more scared that I was going to get even bigger.
Over time, as my back got better, I paid attention to my portion sizes and tried to keep active through coaching, playing in lacrosse leagues, going to the gym and going to Kazaxe. In about 2 years and change I lost about 20 pounds.
I started to see the scale creep up again. I was scared I was going to spiral back to that woman who had gotten to the point where almost no outfit made her feel pretty because she was unhappy about her body. I had just purchased the Beachbody Brazil Butt Lift (BBL) DVD program and ordered Shakeology but I felt and extra kick to my workout routine couldn’t hurt! SOO I decided to participate in Maia's Birthday challenge with my cousin. In 6 six weeks I lost 2 inches in my waist and was ECSTATIC about the change! I felt so empowered by what I was able to do for myself.
I heard about the test group during bootcamp class and thought to myself... that's crazy! Going to bootcamp 4 days in a row? That's just too much. But then I took a step back and though about the commitments that I have in my life already. I coach high school lacrosse... that's committing to hours of work every Monday - Thursday and weekends for fundraisers plus even more hours of planning and administrative work. If I can make that commitment to the sport that I love and group of girls that I didn't know before the season then WHY can't I make this 2 month commitment to myself?
There is no good reason as to why I can't! SO here I am.... test subject #10! My goal is to loose 4 inches in my waist. I'm going to give it everything I got!
