And so it begins...

I'm a little nervous as I write this. I've begun my 90 day journey with p90x3. It's been a 6 month process getting here. In January I decided to really buckle down and start taking my fitness seriously. No excuses. I would MAKE the time to workout. I ordered t25 becuase I work full-time and have a family. My time to workout is 5am, so the shorter the better. It was a great program and I definitely got into better shape. My results were sub-par. I hadn't followed the eating plan. We eat pretty clean around here and I just thought "I'll eat healthy, workout and the weight will fall off". That didn't happen. I realized I needed a reevaluation of my diet. Abs are made in the kitchen folks!!! So I ordered the 21 day fix. This is amazing. If you're feeling confused about portion control for your body or even how to just eat balanced throughout the day, this is a great program to get you started off in the right direction. I lost 10lbs in 1 round of the Fix.


I happen to be one of those body types that carries a lot of weight spread all over her body so it never looks like much but it's always adds up fast. I lost a total of 5 in over my whole body! An inch off each arm!!! I can't remember the last time my arms were smaller than 12in! Then I took the summer off. By that I mean I maintained my weight and worked out a couple times a week. I live in beautiful Marquette, MI. Which means we wait through 9 months of winter for 3 gorgeous months of summer. We play outside... A LOT. Mountain Biking, hiking, and walking down by the water or basically everywhere. I love it here. I realized though, as does anyone who goes without routine of any kind, that I missed it. I missed waking up with purpose and having goals. I also craved paper and yellow pencils but that maybe the impending fall creeping into my thoughts. So I began my search for something new. Sure, I could do the programs I have and get great results.... but I know me. I L.O.V.E change. I crave. I wake up every morning hoping today is going to be drastically different than yesterday, even if yesterday rocked my world. So I was looking for new. I knew I loved p90x but my only complaint (and most peoples) was the 1-1 1/2 hr long workouts. Yeah, I could MAKE the time, but that was a lot of time and I was spoiled from t25 and the Fix 30 min workouts. I needed to get in, get my butt handed to me, and get out. I have a 15 month old, a husband and a full-time job. I need simple, laid out for me programs that can give me the results I need with the time I have. p90x3 was it. It has everything I need. Now I won't rant in the post (no promises for the future) but I love Shakeology. Seriously. You need to try this stuff. It's got everything I need in one shake... I already told you how busy my life is. One less meal to worry about? Yes please! All the vitamins and nutrients from around the world in one shake? YUPP! Easy. Done. On with my day. PS it's awesome at killing sugar cravings and getting my chocolate fix at the same time. BOOM. So much for not ranting. All this to say that I decided to go with the Challenge Pack. You're getting your ShakeO and program in one package at a lower price. You can't argue with that. Plus it sets you up to keep getting the ShakeO at discounted shipping. Win Win. Then I decided to get a little crazy... I became a Beachbody Coach! I'm already a huge supporter of the programs and lifestyle. I love that the company is all about helping people commit and succeed at being the best versions of themselves possible. And I already have people asking me all the time about beachbody. It was time to take it to the next level.
So that is how my journey began.... and now it has started. I took my before pictures and measurements yesterday

and I woke up to Total Synergistics this morning and loved it! I'll be posting my meal plan later this week and then reviewing my first week this coming weekend! So watch for those posts and thanx for checking out my journey.
