Begining A New Chapter

It's not the end...
it's a new beginning!

Body - my body feels fantastic! I feel stronger than I've ever felt - even when I was playing lacrosse in school. I have much more muscle than I ever thought I could have and that is incredibly exciting and encouraging. Moving forward I do want to continue to develop my glute and ab muscles - my two most problematic areas. But all in all I very proud of myself! I'm proud of myself for committing to test group and eating healthy. I am so happy to see how far I've come. I didn't even realize it until I put the pictures side by side. If you would have asked me three years ago that I would be under 150 and a size 8 I would have laughed in your face! I'm so glad I'm in this place now and that I am determined to keep on keepin on!


Learning - With test group ending two weeks ago I am reminded how easy it is to fall off the wagon. I was really sick once we finished and I took time off to heal and ended up taking off a WEEK! Once I was well enough to work out I did not go back to working out 5 or 6 times a week. I only worked out 4 days so far. Am I going to be able to get back in a groove? Here is my plan - I ordered Insanity today! YAY! I plan to do both AM bootcamps, Insanity and running for the next 2 months and then evaluate at that point.

Observations - I'm getting a lot of compliments from friends and family about my body's improvement. I am very quick to enthusiastically tell everyone about bootcamp, shakeology and the change in how I am eating and encourage them to try it all out. I have learned to inform then LET GO. You can't force somebody to commit. Even if they say "oh, I need to do what you're doing" they may not be willing to do the work. They know they should but they are not in a place to put forth the effort to change.

Goals - TO PAY IT FORWARD! I want to share my new body of knowledge about fitness with as many people as possible. This experience has changed my life and I want to start that change in others.

Set goals - A week from today I will have contacted people about MY challenge group. Gotta get things started!


THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT! YOU ARE AN INCREDIBLY POSITIVE GROUP OF PEOPLE AND AT ONE POINT OR ANOTHER EACH AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU INSPIRED ME. I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING US ALL CONTINUE ON OUR FITNESS JOURNEYS :-)
