***Long Post*** There are days when I need to take a step back and reflect on the positive and stop focusing on the negative. Today is one of those days. I have been on the road to getting fit and healthy since March of 2014. Every day is a test on my commitment and determination. During the Summer I slacked off on the nutrition a bit, but continued with my workouts. I didnt gain any weight but knew I wasnt following it 100%. I reflected on what I was doing and soon realized I had a goal and needed to make the necessary changes to reach it. I started following the program again with fidelity. It has now been 4 weeks and I have hit a major plateau. I know starting work again has played a major role in this and consequently have only lost 1/2 a lb. It has been so tough on me. Every day that I wake up and push play is a major achievement for me. I have lost 38 lbs total and 27 inches and even though its a major accomplishment I feel as if I myself and everyone else down somehow. I became a Beachbody Coach to not only make ME accountable, but to motivate others and help them reach their goals. Its just that some days my goal feels so distant and I get frustrated.Yes slow and steady wins the race, but I am human after all and just like everyone else I want it now. Well, God was listening to me today and He guided me to see this. I was searching for a work file and came across this pic on the left. I couldnt believe what a difference. This pic was taken the 1st week I started on the 21 Day Fix (3/2014). The 2nd pic was taken this past week. I couldnt believe the difference. I am doing it. One day at a time and 1 pound at a time. This isnt the moment to give up. This is the moment to PUSH ahead and get one day closer to my goal. I am doing this and I will get there. There are days I will need more encouragement than others and I am okay with that. I am surrounding myself with people who support me and motivate me to become a better me. I am taking this opportunity to get healthier and get stronger. I will be the best ME there is. #21DayFixchangedmylife #keeppushing #goingtodothis #P90and21DayFixwinningcombination #Godisgood #Iamonmyway
