Day 1

On track with my workout. I did TF 30 today. It was a really good workout. Burned 313 calories and was able to keep up with most everything this time. I felt much stronger today.

My measurements as of today

As of now, I'm working on Body Gospel, Turbo Fire & some ChaLEAN Ext.
My current measurements are:
size 2
weight: 128 (depending on the day)
chest 35 1/2
r arm 11
l arm 11
waist 29
hips 35 1/2
r thigh 21
l thigh 21
My body fat precentage is about 29% (HORRIBLE..) Although I will say, I dont trust myself on taking my body fat measurement because I have a plastic caliper that is not easily read.

I am concentrating more on my measurements than anything else.
My goal measurements are:
waist 26"
chest 35"
r arm 9"
l arm 9"
hips 28"
r thigh not sure just toned
weight, who cares as long as I'm fit and toned.

My overall goal is to get back into my clothes I was in when I was skinny. Let's see how this weeks goes.

The beginning..

This is me with our twins. This was our first family vacation since the twins were born. I didn't realize at the time how FAT I had gotten. I say fat because this was the heaviest I had ever been, I didn't even get this big while I was pregnant with them.

A new start

Here I go again. I am neglecting to post in my blog. Wow, what a whirlwind few weeks. So much to blog about.
After my last posting, Tyler came down with pink eye, then a virus which I believe led into a sinus infection. So he ended up missing 3 days of school, he was so sick it was pitiful. Any mom knows taking care of a sick kid is constant. So now he's all better, then I started feeling it come on. UGH! Luckly for me, taking my Vitamin D3 and drinking my Shakeology everyday gives my body that extra umph to fight off germs. I ended up having a little running nose and feeling a little tired but nothing like what it could have been. Not to mention, I started going through all of my PMDD symptoms. Again, luckly for me, with the help of my Shakeology and my Don Quai (herbal hormone help) I only felt tired. So I took a few days off of working out to let my body recover.

So now on to all of my excited changes. First I'm going to start with how amazing God is to me. He is really working on me and our family right now. I am praying for some specific things to happen in my life and he is opening doors right and left for me right now.

First thing that has happened that has changed my life is joining a local team. Because of this change, I am now able to connect one on one personally with my coach and team mates, go to fit clubs and events in town. For me right now, that is HUGE. I am in great need of some serious hand holding to carry me through. There are days where I just feel so alone and in a black whole. With my faith, family and friends rooting for me, I'm now seeing sun shining everywhere on me.

Second, my parents paid me to sell my grandaddy's car. I was able to use that money to become a coach and purchase a challenge pack making it possible for me to open up my own challenge group and start my own team. This was number 1 on my PUSH goal list. This goal is going to make my Big goal come true.

Last week I was able to get 2 friends to sign up as my customers, just on my list not purchasing anythiing yet. Still, that's the first step to bringing people on board with me on my journey.

Today, I was able to help one of those customers become not only a beachbody challenge member, but she decided to also become a coach. Now I only have one more customer to get and I will become an Emerald Coach. To know that I am supporting & encouraging others to make changes in their lifestyles so that they can become healthier and happier is something I can not put into words. I am praying everyday that God brings me people who want to commit to changing their lives forever. To watch someone transform in such a huge way is priceless. I just can't put it into words.

My hope is that I can get 4 additional people to join me so that I can have a team of 5 to encourage, support & motivate each other. I truly believe having others depend on me for some of those will in turn motivate me and make me push myself harder. I am in need of friends who can also help me. Lately I've been feeling so much more excited about my own life and changes. I've been really down lately about my transformation. I'm beginning to get reenergized about my own changes and I'm ready to help someone else feel the same way. I'm going to share my journey in pictures. I feel as though if I post my progress in the way of measurements and pictures, this will keep me going. I want to see these changes too. If I'm going to ask someone else to change their life and get fit, I have to too. So here I go, on my journey to helping others live a healthier more fit lifestyle, one life at a time.
