60 Days of Les Mills Combat

This is my motivation. This pictures proves I can do it! 

Last February of 2013 I decided to begin my Beachbody journey. I was a single mom, sick of feeling tired and just plain BLAH all the time. I joined a challenge group with my coach and took the plunge and bought Les Mills Combat challenge pack. Little did I know that it would change my life for the better. The first time I did the work out video I thought that it was so much fun and I could stick to it. I have never actually stuck to a work out program before. I usually got bored and just gave up. Not this one. The music is so up beat and the moves are so much fun! Kick boxing at it's best! Since then I've done 3 rounds of Les Mills Combat. Its seriously my soulmate workout! I lost 25 lbs wit this program and so many inches!

I kept up with my fitness journey until about September. I met my boyfriend, moved out of my parents house, and just couldn't juggle everything at once. I was over whelmed and gave up. Of course I gained my weight back and I'm on my journey again. Clean eating and T25...soon the 21 Day Fix.

I look at this pictures and it proves to me that I am capable of making myself better. I am capable of being a fit momma! It's not only about being fit, it's about being happy and confident. This is what weight loss means to me. It means that I am happy, positive, and energetic....yeah the body is a plus 

Week One of Focus T25 with Shaun T!

Week one was interesting to say the least. Shaun T kicked my booty in way I didn't know could be done. I haven't worked out since September of last year. Yeah I know...I needed some down time to myself to deal with some things. The whole first week I didn't know what to expect. One day we would do cardio and then the next had some boxing moves thrown into it. He always kept me guessing and working different parts of my body. Thursday came and I was so sore. It was ab day. In previous workouts, I always skipped ab day (I know I'm crazy right?!) I could NEVER get through the whole video. I couldn't ever do half the moves because my mid section is so weak. I was SO proud of myself. I attempted all of the moves (modified some) and successfully got through the whole 25 minutes. This was a milestone in itself.

So here is what I lost from week one...just one week!

This seems a little extreme to me, but remember....I haven't worked out since September and I've been eating pure junk. Over eating pure junk food. Week one I cleaned up my diet drastically, gave up pop, and gave up refined junk food. My body always seems to respond better when I'm fueling it, not using it as a trash can. This was also my first full week back on shakeology! Oh how I missed it.  I don't typically count calories either. I need to improve in that aspect. 

I'm starting my next challenge group on Facebook on March 31st! Sweating and Toning for Summer! Contact me through here or facebook if you are interested in changing your lifestyle!
