Today I was challenged to share my story by video, sorry it will not be a video but written instead. This challenge is from a very good friend and awesome coach.
So 28 days ago I joined a challenge group "Lean to Halloween" sponsored by my friend. At first I was apprehensive of doing everything required for the challenge, I was ok with the eating healthy and exercise parts just not the Shakeology part. I don't like the thought of drinking my meals and joining just another weight loss fade or scheme was my reasonings. After a week into the challenge I decided what the heck I will try this Shakeology thing just for the month, if I don't like it I can always discontinue using it after the challenge, right?
Well the challenge ended November 2, I didn't take after pics just weight and measurements after my 21 days because I was like I didn't lose much so why take the pictures, waste of my time! I also didn't compare measurements until today! Oh my!!! Shocked at my discovery... I have lost 7.8 pounds, 1 1/2 inches on my waist, 1 1/4 inches on my hips, and 1/4 on my thighs...WOW!
So for my WHY...
The reason I started on this journey to be a better healthier person is for my 6 year old daughter. She needs a mom to be there and to help her learn to be healthy. Besides I need to be there for all of her activities and to just be there to watch her grow.
I also do this for myself. I want to feel confident again. Be healthy. When I started I was the heaviest I have ever been even heavier than when I was 9 months pregnant, not ok with me!
So here is to my healthy journey!
