Life got busy and in the way, so I haven't been able to blog or do anything for that matter besides running kids here and there. And work. Sure I have had some down time but eating right and working out just wasn't on my mind. Being honest.
My husband travels for work, this isn't new for us. However, having him home for the last year and not working crazy hours, we liked! What's new for us is, this mama went back to work (part time!) and having 3 kids in activities! What was also new to us, mama being tired, cranky, and feeling crappy again. I knew it was time I stop with the excuses and get back on track. I have been watching folks do BeachBody for years. I have always been curious about BeachBody for longer then I can remember (before kids!). However, I was an Herbalife girl and I couldn't venture over to that side. Then a friend convince me, BeachBody was different. It's about the workouts, the support and not the supplements (even though they have supplements). However, I still struggle between me doing Herbalife and trying other things. Then I sucked it up after 7 weeks of playing tug of war with myself and ordered the 21 Day Fix kit. Why? I know how to eat, so why did I need these little colorful cubes to help me with this? The DVD, why? When I have a great local Boot Camp and trainers (Stephen and Claire Kelley), amazing trails to run on, a gym membership and 3 kids to chase after? I like the colorful cubes, it's easy for me to keep track of what I can eat and how much. It holds me accountable, I know silly! I also like the grocery list that it gives me. Its real and practical. I am pretty creative when it comes to what I can eat when I am given an list of of food that is OK and allowed. When someone just hands me a list with only chicken, broccoli, rice, oats and supplements, I tend to get bored and quit. The DVD, well I am not an HUGE fan of working out at home. With kids it can be a pain because they want to join in. Maybe I am selfish but my work out time is for me. However, every BeachBody workout I have done is AMAZING! Mainly I got it because I haven't had time to get with my trainer or attend BootCamp because of schedule conflicts. I haven't made it to the gym because well I have been lazy! The runs, the one thing I REALLY want to do, I can't. The kids make it HELL for me (and I am trying this new thing to not yell and get frustrated with them) and well running is my way to get out of HELL. Till I figure out how to run the DVD will be perfect for my early AM workouts along with working with my trainers again. Because the excuses need to stop. This past Monday, I made a goal to get my eating back on track. Nothing but that! It worked out perfect! Since Monday I have lost 2 pounds and getting my energy back. I am loving the 21 Day Fix cubes! I have had fun coming up with creative meals for lunch and dinner. I can't wait to share them all! The workouts, start tomorrow (Sunday am) as my kids are gone and I am going to go for a RUN! Since I am getting ready to train for an 1/2 marathon, I am looking forward to adding the DVD and The Kelley's back into my routine! Watch for updates... So why the 21 Day Fix, it also comes with a great coach and group too! I love doing something different, love that my confidence is coming back, I love that I can use my Herbalife products, I love that my 4 years old gets to help me pick what goes in my cubes (great teaching moment for her!) and love my energy that is coming back (as the kids I am sure are loving it too along with crabby lady that left with it). (want to be part of a great support group? message me at [email protected] and we can add you!)
