Normally I blog when I am up late and can't sleep but the strangest side effect of eating healthy and exercising for 30 mins a day is I am tired at a normal time at night. I used to blog somewhere between 12-2AM and now I am almost always asleep by midnight. Granted I am still not getting enough sleep but it is still more than I used to get.
Here is my most recent before and after. 20 inches gone!!! Plus confidence, happiness and so many other good things.
I still have a very long way to go and I have seemed to plateau, but my eating has not been 100% and I am very close to where I need to adjust my eating plan to go down because my weight loss will have brought me into the next level. Mean I lose a carb, fruit and 2 tsps!! O_O I am really not looking forward to that but I know if I want to make more progress that day will come. I told hubby I was starting to wonder if I need to make that adjustment a little bit earlier since my weight loss has slowed to a halt. But I think I am going to make sure this next week I go back to measuring everything out, not just eyeballing it, and tracking it all down on paper. I am also thinking about adding a daily cardio routine to my work out schedule. Meaning working out for not just 30 mins a day but 60 mins. Preferably not back to back. I did complete the doubles week from the 21 day fix and the strength I gained and noticed that week was so cool!! I had been doing these work outs for months and doubles week made a HUGE difference.
Oh and get this! I have a butt!!! I have never had a butt in my life. you can see in my before pic it was very flat and that is what my Dad's side of the family has and I just always assumed I was stuck with it. But all these squats and lunges and I grew a butt. I noticed and thought I was going crazy but then hubby noticed and my Mom noticed! LOL!! I have kind of a small obsession with my lower half between my new butt and my legs that have next to no fat on them now. I am like how short can I where my shorts?? HAHAHAHA!! But I am an apple shape so my middle is my problem section and will be the last to lose the weight. I am not even half way to my goal yet but I am thrilled with my progress so far.
I can not say enough positive things about Beachbody, Shakeology and the 21 day fix. I am in love with it all!! There have been allot of things that this program has helped me fix with in myself. But that is something to write about in the next blog. I hope to get a post up weekly again.
So until next weekend in all things Choose Joy!!
