I was feeling great, and still am, but after my last post I realized that now that it's winter and I'm seeing the return of some hypothyroid symptoms I better do all that I can to get into "tip top" shape. A friend of mine recently posted some before and after pictures on Facebook, she truly underwent a transformation and looks amazing. Obviously, I wanted to know how she did it, so I told her how awesome I think she looks and she chatted me up. It turns out she's a Beachbody Coach and she started out doing Turbo Jam, had some success and then big results came after resistance training with CHAlene Extreme. I have to be honest, I was hesitant because I am always worried that people are trying to sell me something, but I kept myself open to the possibility of doing the same. I always hear that losing weight starts in the kitchen, and I couldn't agree more, but I get really frustrated with this because I eat VERY well. I know a lot of people say this, but I honestly do. I have zero processed foods in my diet. Loads of veggies and the highest quality protein that I can find, which is all local and grass fed. I am currently working on portion control and almost have that aspect down.
But after lots of thought, I realized that I have never given weight training an honest shot. And when I even made a minimal effort to lift at the gym (which I have on and off) I did see serious results. I read many great reviews online about the Chalene Extreme program and decided to dedicate myself to a 90 Day Challenge. I invested in the system itself, resistance bands, and a heart rate monitor. I am waking up early and making the time for this each day- NO EXCUSES.
My motivation to write about it, post on Facebook etc. is not to brag or promote products, it's to keep myself accountable, get excited and inspire others to do the same.
I think I've found my ticket to health - The Weston A. Price diet- with lots of Raw Vegan items incorporated - Weight Training and being productive in all areas of my life daily. I realize that my health issues DEMAND that I exercise on a daily basis. I need to think of exercise as my medicine, a way of life. I vow to continue to work on myself and adjust if needed on the road ahead.
