Stop Quitting

Hey everyone! 

It's been a looooong four months since I have been on here but I'm back. If you have been following my journey I know what you are probably thinking..."how many times is she going to quit and come back..?" But if that is what you are thinking...shame on you. No one is perfect.

Well...first things first! I want to apologize to everyone who was following my journey and then I just went away...a few times. I have received many messages about how I motivated others to get up and lose weight and I feel like I have failed those people. No one is perfect and no weight loss journey is perfect. You will have ups and downs...sometimes you just give up on yourself because you aren't seeing the results that you want. That's what happened to me honestly. I gave up. I didn't think I was worth it and didn't think I could change myself or my lifestyle. 

I've been super depressed about my body yet again but I wasn't doing anything to change it. Ever since I found out about the stress fractures in both legs its been my excuse to not workout and to eat like crap. I haven't even used my gym membership in months but I'm still paying for it because I kept telling myself I would eventually go back. At the beginning of June an old friend of mine that I worked with in the Marine Corps messaged me on Facebook. He was asking questions about fitness and my lifestyle. He is currently a Beachbody coach and we started talking about some of the programs they offer. So I decided it was time to try something new since I haven't found that one thing to keep me motivated so thats when I ordered the 21 Day Fix and one month supply of Shakeology. I was super excited when my package arrived that I read through everything in the box and planned to start my 21 days the following day. So I did!! I was sooooo sore after the first and second day but I didn't give up (trust me I wanted to just lay around all day because of the soreness)! 

Well I am currently on Day 10 of the 21 days. I missed a few workouts from a busy weekend (which is no excuse I know) so I have been making them up that way I can get back on track. I'm in love with this program! I am following the meal plan for the most part. It's only one workout a day (until the last week then its two) and 30 minutes each workout (which is perfect with two little ones running around). Some workouts are easier than others but I love how different each workout is! I know this might sound crazy but I can feel changes in my body already. I was so tired of hating my body and have been avoiding ever mirror I walk by. I took before pictures and can't wait to see my before and after pictures together after day 21 (June 29th so stay tuned). 

I am by no means saying that you have to order this program or do the things that I am doing in order to lose weight and I'm not trying to sell anything. I'm simply sharing my journey for those who want to read about it!

So that's really all I wanted to say this time...just keep a lookout for my next blog which honestly might not be until I complete my 21 days since my hubby is having surgery on Monday and I will have a lot on my plate (not my food plate...my stress plate). 

One Last Thought

 If you hate starting over...STOP QUITTING! 

(I need to write this on my bathroom mirror!)

Back to losing it!
