My Story

Let me share my weight loss story: I can understand how stress and life can make your weight fluctuate. I spent 7 years watching my weight climb until I hit the 157lb mark. I did weight watchers shortly after my mom passed away/MS diagnosis and I managed to lose 25 lbs. I left weight watcher’s thinking I could do it on my own; big fail; I was back up to 157 lbs. I was miserable. I went back to weight watchers but I noticed that weight watchers wasn’t helping me the second time around. It wasn't teaching how to eat. I was just fitting in all the bad foods (Mcdonald’s fries, Wendy’s nuggets and fries supreme from Taco Bell) and it didn’t help me make a lifestyle change. Although I lost weight before my wedding, I fell back into bad habits pretty quickly. I always knew about Beachbody. I loved Turbo Fire and Turbo Jam. It was how I managed to lose the weight while eating horrible foods. It wasn’t until I found the right coach. She motivated me to push further, work harder. An accountability group was great. I shared my successes and failures with them. I was never judged because we all shared the same goal. I tried Shakeology (again), started drinking it daily and incorporating Les Mills Combat into my routine. By the time I knew it, I was back down to 137 lbs. And then I moved; fast food was my friend. I stopped working out because there was no time. I gained back 3 lbs and I said this is it. I became a Beachbody coach so I could get a variety of Shakeology at a discount. And I could be accountable to myself and to others. I purchased the Ultimate Reset. It has taught me so much about food and about myself. I'm feeling great! I'm not where I want to be yet, but I'll get there. This has been a journey that I appreciate. It's a hard journey but worthwhile. I feel fantastic. You can too.

It's a wonderful day

It's been such a fantastic day. I stepped on the scale this morning to get my week one totals and I'm down 5.4 lbs. 

But that's not all. No that's not all. 

I needed dress pants for work. It was getting ridiculous. I went to Ricki's, my fave place for pants because they have short lengths. No hemming for this girl! Anyway, I went to Ricki's grabbed a bunch of size 6's and a few 4's. I decided to just try on the 4's, hoping for the best, I was successful! I couldn't believe. I nearly cried in the change room. I didn't cry but I did dance and I jumped up and down a little! Fantastic feeling! 

Anyways, food today was excellent. I started to detox phase and it's going well. Mashed chick peas for breakfast tomorrow has me a little worried. Did most of my grocery shop, need a few more things but I'll get that tomorrow. 

Breakfast was fruit which I are out of a plastic container on my way to church. Lunch was a microgreen salad which is normal today had avocado. Yum. And dinner was delicious. I mixed everything together into a big bowl and it was perfect. 

After freezing my butt off at Le Husband's soccer game I am ready for bed. Til we meet again. 

Day 4 Complete

I've decided to log my journey to fitness and health on a blog so that I don't clog my Facebook or Instagram feed. 

I'm on day 4 of the Ultimate Reset from Beachbody. It has been tough so far but the food has been wonderful. I've learned a lot about my food addiction and my caffeine dependency. I've already lost 3.8 lbs and my energy level is finally coming back up! 

Today I went to a Manager of Customer Service conference and it was a great experience. They wined and dined us, minus the wine and minus me. I brought my own breakfast and lunch. I received a lot of positive comments and words of encouragement from some wonderful people. I was so tempted to grab a cookie but instead I grabbed an apple for snack. Thank goodness they had fruit! 

I'm excited for tomorrow. Going to see if I can find Tempeh so I can make the Nori and for the breakfasts. Wish me luck because I don't know if I'll like the tempeh. I'll have pictures of my meals tomorrow but I was too lazy to grab my phone and take pictures today! 

Onto day 5!
