Physical Health: Day 60, Results Day

Day 60 Results: It has now been over 60 days since I started my beachbody challenge. WOW! What a ride! I can not believe the changes that have occurred in just 60 days. I am stronger mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. I am definitely healthier. I am skinnier. Wahoo! I am still on my way to being one fit mommy but I'm a little closer. I lost 12.5 lbs. in 60 days and 15 inches overall. Not only that, I made some new friends and experienced so many life changing experiences along with my other challengers. I am happier, more confident and less stressed out. I have tried so many things and failed at all of them throughout the last five years. I needed something that would work. I needed accountability. I needed motivation. I definitely needed support from others who had been there and those going through the same thing. So I am both excited and thankful. I am also not done so continue to journey with me please.

I wanted to share something personal for those that might be going through the same thing. These are some of the comments that I wrote during the challenge.

  •  My motivation is my Sister in Law's wedding this summer. I hate having my picture taken and do not want to be in her wedding pics the way I am right now.
  •  This was my why: I want to live a healthy lifestyle. I want to teach my kids the right eating habits. Honestly I am so afraid of having chubby kids. I haven't fed them the healthiest foods and my son won't eat fruits and vegetables. I am so scared that they are learning my bad eating habits and will end up fat. I want to change that. I want to be a healthy family. I know what I need to do I just have had a hard time doing it. I am an emotional eater and the last two years have been rough. Ultimately I'd like to lose 45 lbs. I want to fit into my skinny clothes. I want to rock a bikini. I want to run a half marathon and a tough mudder. I really want to have the energy to chase my kids around and play with them without getting tired before they do. 
  •  This is what I wrote at the end of the challenge: I'm so sad that this is coming to a close but I'm excited for where we are all going! Carson and Chelsea thank you so much. I am so grateful for this experience. I have learned so much about who I am and what it takes to make a change. I believe in myself again! I am investing in myself so I can invest in the ones most important to me. I feel ready to take on not only my health but my family's health. The accountability and the support from this whole group has been amazing. I love the new friends that I have made. Thank you! We did this together and it's not over. I have been so blessed by this opportunity. Thank you Chelsea and Carson for your passion to help others. Beachbody changed my life! I am so much stronger mentally and physically. I am so proud of all of us!!
What's next for this Momma? I am going to start Insanity. I think I might be insane but be expecting a lot of blog posts about this. Yikes! I think I will definitely be ready for those family wedding pics though!!
