2018 so far...Kind of a Bust!

Here is the reality of my 2018 so far. I don't share this because I love sharing my failures. Trust me, I don't and this makes me super uncomfortable! I share this because I can't be the only one that struggles with keeping their commitments to themselves or has a million and one "day 1's". 

I know there are others that set themselves on a health and fitness journey and knock it out of the park the first time and every time. They start a new 90-day program and finish it with no slips or cheats. I am super happy and impressed with these people. I let them inspire me. But apparently, I am not that person! 

I can keep my commitments to others, no problem. If I'm your person, I'm there for you every day, every step of the way. It is myself that I seem to let down. I know I'm not the only one on this vicious cycle. We are the silent ones, trying again and again. 

If this sounds like you then I'm now speaking directly to you, I'm not giving up and either should you! I don't care how many times or "day 1's" it takes me and neither should you. Screw what others think, they are not walking in your shoes. Don't let what others think or say about you dictate how you live your life!

Here I Go Again...But NOT On My Own

Completed day 1 of Country Heat yesterday and can't believe how emotional I was during the workout.  I found myself crying several times, overcome with how far I have let myself go, and knowing I am responsible for where I am.  Scared that I will fail again, like all the other times in the past. Knowing in my heart, that I can't fail this time.  I am at an all time high weight!  I don't even recognize myself in the mirror.  My face quickly gets flushed when I do any type of activity. My ankles, my fingers, hands, you name it, they are all swollen ALL the time.

Well over a year ago, maybe closer to two, I just quit. I was so tired of always "restarting".  It seemed unfair that I constantly lived my life "trying" to lose weight. So I gave myself permission to not do anything.  I didn't call it "quiting" or "giving up", I told myself I was going to be happy right where I was.

I had been a Beachbody coach for forever and a day - I was surrounded by success stories. People succeeding not only in their health and fitness journeys, but in their coaching business. When I told myself I was happy right where I was, I couldn't keep seeing all of that on my social media accounts. I just didn't want to be reminded of what I was telling myself I couldn't do. I completely unfollowed and unliked all the pages and people that I was connected to.  Left groups, tried to totally disconnect from all of it. Okay, I didn't disconnect from it totally! There were true connections and friendships I had made through Beachbody that I kept, and it being so easy to hide right out in the open on Facebook, I'm sure not one of them even knew I had went on a rampage leaving groups and unfollowing top coaches.

I kept getting FB memories popping up of posts I had shared in the past, you know the ones you see all the time...I worked out! I drank Shakeology!  New video on sale! lol Seriously I was annoying myself. What was not there was me truly sharing myself, my struggles, how hard life was at times.  I thought I had to be perfect, I had to know everything and be the shining example.  I mean I was a coach for goodness sake.  I had to have my shit together.

Well here I am again, starting over. Hopefully For the last time!  I am going to do this. I am going to share all the details, good and bad. You might get sick seeing it, but I don't care! :) I truly am so grateful for the outpouring of support I have already received.  Honestly I couldn't believe it.  You have made me feel like I can really do this!

Hugs,

Amanda

21 Day Fix, No Joke

21 Day Fix is No Joke!  Everyday real people are seeing great results with this program and I want to share my top 3 reasons why. 

1.  Program is only 21 days long with 30 minute workouts.  For some it is hard and scary to commit to a 90 day program, but 21 days is doable for anyone.  Short achievable goals build us up for success.  30 minute workouts make it easy for anyone to "find the time" to workout.  You have to throw the "I don't have enough time" excuse right out the window.  EVERYONE has 30 minutes. 

2. Food containers.  We see it time and time again, you are killing your workouts, maybe even completed an entire 60 or 90 day program, but you didn't lose any weight or very little.  Nutrition is EXTREMELY important.  It's not all about the workout.  Yes, you are getting stronger and fitter doing the workouts but as Tony Horton famously says, "Abs are made in the kitchen."  You CANNOT out exercise a poor diet. This is where 21 Day Fix has been able to help give so many the success they have been looking for in the past.  With the easy to follow color containers you learn portion sizes and what you should be eating.  Nutrition made super simple!!

3. Support.  I can't emphasis this enough!!  FREE coaching and ongoing challenge groups help keep everyone committed and motivated. You are not alone on this journey! Studies show that having support enhances self-control and self-esteem and provides motivation to keep going strong. Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania recruited 166 people to participate in a weight-loss program either alone or with three friends or family members. Among those who embarked on the program with friends, 95 percent completed the program compared to only 76 percent of those who dieted solo. After 10 months, 66 percent of the group dieters had maintained their weight loss compared to only 24 percent of those who were on their own. Join me and you will be placed in a closed Facebook group with other challengers doing a Beachbody program. You will have one on one access to me, your coach.  I will be there to help reach your goals.
