As I look at these pictures side by side today I can’t help
but think of how I felt on day 1(everyone has a day 1). It was late at night I
would be starting a challenge group the next day and I asked my husband to take
my before pictures. I was so not impressed with myself, how could I neglect to
take care of myself. Every day I take
care of the kids, my husband, feed the dog, put dinner on the table, mow the
grass, work and the list goes on and on.
But I did not put myself on the list.
As my husband took the pictures he told me these would end
up on the internet. I rolled my eyes and
did not say anything. Of course I did
not believe in myself, I was lacking confidence. But I decided to jump right into the
challenge group and give it my all. I
listen to all the advice that was given and applied it. I found the mornings I was dead tired and did
not want to get out of bed were some of my best workout.
But with every day being a challenge to change old habits, I
started to feel stronger, have more energy, stand up straighter, and look
forward to my workouts. I also looked forward to checking in at the end of
every day with the other people in the group.
Because after all we were in it together and have the same day to day
issues. Should I work out? Should I have
a piece of dessert? Should I swing by the drive thru? They were normal people
with the same busy lives that made a choice to make a change in their personal
life.
Sure it’s easy to read this and just look at how many inches
and lbs. I lost. But it’s so much more than that, I lost weight but gained in
other areas of my life. I once was a
person with goals in other areas of my life but also let go of setting them and
accomplishing them. This is a system
that works and works time and time again. I know how you feel, nothing fits, wish you enjoyed picking something out of your closet to wear every day, would like to feel good wearing a swimming suit, I've been there and can help.
