T25

I started T25 3 weeks ago. The first week was one of my most difficult weeks ever related to work but I pushed through and worked out every day! I felt great about myself and about being persistent. I love working up a sweat in 25 minutes!

Last week I let the excuses get in the way. I was tired and stressed and instead of working off my stress I slacked off. I'm currently not a part of a challenge group and I really feel like a group helps to hold me accountable! When I lack internal motivation it helps to have the external motivation. So I let my low motivation and excuses get in the way of 25 minutes of hard work. I planned to workout on Friday before we headed out of town for the weekend but things came up at work and I didn't get home as early as I wanted. I was pretty bummed on the car ride down but I realized that anything is better than nothing and even though it wasn't my best week,  I didn't just sit on my butt all week and do nothing.  Making big changes in your life takes hard work and you WILL have some setbacks!  What matters is if you let those setbacks define who you are or if you pick yourself up and get back to WORK!

A fresh start!

Today is a fresh start! This is my year!!! I plan to focus on my and my family's health and happiness :) No one is going to lose this weight for me or do my workouts for me. 

I started this journey in October and I haven't been perfect. I've fallen off the wagon more times than I would like to admit but I haven't given up. In less than 2 months I have lost 8 lbs. I had hoped to make more of a dent but I let life and excuses get in the way. 2015 is my new start! It's time to train myself to eat healthier, to be stronger, and to work harder. I'm still loving PiYo and I definitely see changes. I can do more and rest less. Chalene is super motivating! I love how calm she is :) My next program is going to be T25. I tried a hip hop abs workout from Shaun T. and loved him and that workout too! I'm hoping I love Shaun T. in T25. I'll let you know:)

Happy New Year everyone! What are your goals? Let me know if I can help! I'm starting a Challenge Group in January to help others with their goals. It will be a 30 day challenge. You pick the program and flavor of Shakeology. Who wants to join me on this journey? Email me at Cmcelest@gmail.com or send me a message on Facebook for more information.
