Small Changes, Big Differences

Six weeks ago, I started on a journey. An amazing journey to become a healthier and fitter me, and not just for me but for my family. For those of you that don’t know, I became a Beachbody coach.

In those 6 weeks, I have lost 27 pounds. Let me say that again. I have lost 27 pounds.  

That’s 27 pounds, even with:

The pain of a plantar fasciitis flare up

Ouch!

3 weeks in a walking cast

A 1300 mile road trip to DC and back

(walking 10 miles in one day, in the previously mentioned walking cast)

We got to ride the train!

First subway ride!

MOVING TO OUR FIRST HOUSE TOGETHER!!!

and moving out of the apartment we seemed to have stuffed with 4 years worth of awesome!

We are still unpacking all that awesome!

U-Hauls Rock!

Andrew got to ride in the BIG TRUCK!

HOW?!

Shakeology

everyday, in the morning, no excuses!

Portion control thanks to the 21 Day Fix 

YUM!

So this was my 2nd lunch of the day: steak salad and fresh berries!

Being Prepared Limits Temptations!

Being Prepared Limits Temptations!

I know that people say “I’ll start when…” or “Where am I going to find the time…” or my favorite, “It’s too hard!”

I know that I was the same way.

“I’ll start when my foot feels better.”

“I’ll start after the move, when things settle down…”

“Meal planning is the worst”

All things I have said.

#AintGotTimeForThat

Don’t have time? Neither did I!

I can’t bring myself to call what I’m doing a “diet.”
First, because diets don’t work.
And second, I love food! I especially love to bake, but you know that, you’ve read my blog. 🙂
I’m 27 pounds lighter and I can’t believe how much food I get  to eat in a day. And yes, I still have a cupcake now and then, and NO, I don’t feel guilty about it

But that’s not the whole story…

Leave a comment or send me a message, because every day of this wonderful adventure just keeps getting better.

  1. I have a friend who has been a beachbody coach for a few years now. I tried to do the 21 day thing, but I failed at it. First of all, the Shakeology tasted horrible. Second, the workouts about took me out. And third, it costs quite a bit to eat so healthy. I really need to lose weight because it would help with some health problems and I would feel so much better about myself. Hopefully at some point in time I can find something that works for me.

    • Raven,

      I completely know how you feel, I felt the same way when I started. Then I found that meal planning with the containers wasn’t as complicated as I was making it. The workouts kicked my ass at first, but I kept at it, and am feeling stronger every day! And I completely agree, it costs a lot to eat healthy. But the health problems I was starting to develop would cost me so much more in the long run. Plus I am showing my boys how to make healthier choices. Shakeology can be an acquired taste for some people, and some of the flavors recently been revamped. Zakary LOVES the Greenberry. It tastes just like the milk in a bowl of Crunch Berries!
