Interruptions

Interruptions have been the story of my life the past few weeks. Between Ty being home from school, Matt being off work and dad obsessing about the world cup. Its been rough and yesterday was the worst day for them. I could not give 100% to my workout yesterday because there were so many interruptions from my one of my kids and my dad. When I start a workout I try to settle them first so I can have 30 mins to focus of the workout. Well to that didn't happen yesterday and I felt my motivation dwindle with every new demand and me having to hit pause. But I keep moving forward through the workout and finished. But am still haven't been able to shake that workout off. I am still frustrated and want a do over. I know I can take it back and I should be proud that I finished. Today is a new day and I will 100% to my workout today!

21 Day Fix

After I finishedFocus T25 I was like what am I going to do next?!?!? I am totally addicted to working out each day and keeping our eating cleaning. My answer come to me in the form of the new Beachbody program the 21 Day Fix. This program peaked my interest a food plan that is measured out in containers that are provided and 7 day work out plan. Sounds good to me. I was like I am in! I had to wait to get my order which was fine because a challenge group was forming with some of the ladies I meet since starting this weight loss journey and joined Beachbody. I started Monday and it has been awesome! I had not weighted myself in almost 6 weeks because I gave up on the scale but I got one to see where I was at and what my starting weight was so I would have it to compare to my day 21 weight. I got on the today for the first time since Monday and I am down 3 pounds and about 2 inches already! Hoping I keep close to this pace for the next 17 days! Here are my before pictures!

Check back in 3 weeks to see the results! Thanks for reading!

One month later

Wow where did the month of January go?!?!?! Well it has been one month since I started my new year new healthier me journey. It has been going well I have kept up with the work outs and by the end of week 5 of Alpha round of T25 I was even doing most of the exercises without modifying! I am down 4 inches off my waist and hips, down 1/2 inch in my arms, down an inch in the chest and up a half inch in my legs but I can see muscle definition on my legs! I am only down 3 pounds and that had me all worked up but then I look at my inches lost and that what has been keeping me motivated! So I have decided for the next month I am not weighing myself. I am hiding the scale and just looking at the measuring tape! One thing I have to work on this next month is food. I have to clean up our eating and go back to a more paleo diet. I have to learn ways to work past my craving and not give into them! Ok back to meal planning for the week and helping T finish his class Valentines. But before I go here is my split pic from the start date and one month.

Thanks for stopping by!

Weight loss journey

So here I am again it a new 2014 and one of goals for this year is to loss some weight and eat better......like every year! But I will say between 2012 and 2013 I worked hard on cleaning up out eating and found we can do well eating a 80/20 paleo diet. Paleo diet is the caveman diet no grains and no dairy. We are not 100% paleo and there are days we are not paleo at all due to events going on in our lives at that given time. I have maintained most of the weight I lost while pregnant with CC. I have only gained about 10lbs back of the 30lb lost and I am still at 40lbs over all since 2012. I did have a bloat gain over the holidays and most of that is gone! I have also been medication free for the past 3 months for my Type 2 diabetes. I am hope to stay that way! So this year I want to focus on exercise. I have decided to give BeachBody T25 a try. I am doing along with a challenge group for 60days. I am hoping that being part of a group will help stay motivated and make this a lifestyle change! Here is the before pictures:

Okay time to get started and put day one on the books!
