21 Day Fix - Week 2 Day 3

So I about died tonight...no really. Leg day always kills me, but the 21 Day Fix is a good kind of hurt. "It hurts so good"!  I need to get these legs stronger so I don't topple over (I actually did topple over twice...hahaha). At the end, I collapsed into a heap on the living room floor and seriously considered sleeping on that floor tonight ;)

I am super stoked that I am keeping up with the workouts. With PiYo and T25 I would miss a workout here and there on the calendar. When I'm doing 21 Day Fix, I know it's only for 3 weeks. It also helps that my challengers are KILLING IT. One said she was sooo happy with her results and another said she was down 7-8lbs and several inches. Wohoo! This program works if you put the effort in. It's not a magic pill. You HAVE TO do the work!

The work you do is not only in the 30 minute exercises, but in the kitchen too. I have been really slacking this week in the nutrition department :( I've been super busy at work and literally forgotten to eat. I know, how is that possible? I don't know, but what I do know is that when I'm not eating healthy and not getting enough sleep my mental capacity suffers. Some of the students I have worked with in the last week will tell you some of the crazy mistakes I have made. One student told me the other day..."uhhh Mrs. Asekhauno, I think you spelled Annandale wrong".....oy vey! I need to fuel my body to think clearer, function properly, AND burn more of this fat! Tomorrow is a new day and I plan to do a better job of taking a quick break to eat snacks and lunch :)

I'm also humbled to find out that someone I knew back in high school was motivated to start on his journey because of my continued posts. When you are overweight, it's hard to get up the courage to post selfies. I used to stand in the back of pictures. If I was in the picture, I was hiding behind my children and trying to hid my double chin. I'm starting to feel more confident and more comfortable in my own skin. I still have a LONG way to go, but I'm happy to report I am over a QUARTER of the way to my first GIANT goal of losing 100 lbs. Yes, you heard me - I have lost over 25 lbs. Now, could I have lost it faster - definitely yes! BUT my journey is not a straight line and there a bumps and turns along the way and I'm learning to be ok with that. When you have spent your whole life making different choices, you can't expect to change overnight. I didn't put this weight on in 8 months so I shouldn't be discouraged that I have only lost just over 25lbs in 8 months. I'm a work in progress and THAT IS OK!!! I'm not giving up!!!!!!!!!

If you are a work in progress too and you are motivated to join me, send me an email or find me on Facebook. The 21 Day Fix Challenge Pack is on SALE this month and you can purchase the program here. You'll get the 21 Day Fix program, Shakeology, me as your coach, support, accountability, and confidence. If you want to start working out, but you don't think you want to do 21 Day Fix, let's chat about your goals. I'll help you find a Beachbody program that will work for you :)

BTW if you are interested in 25% off Beachbody products, email me and I'll tell you how :)
