Day 14: Over half way there!

Yoga day ends and the last week of the 21 days begins! This round has truly been amazing and I am so excited to start yet another round after this. I am becoming more confident in myself as I notice the changes in my body and it feels great. For the past while now I have suffered from anxiety and have to take anxiety pills just to make it through the day. I was having constant panic attacks that were effecting my relationships with friends and family as well as my work. It was not good. I was in and out of the doctor and having a hard time. Since this round has started and I have been drinking Shakeology it has truly made such a positive impact on my life. I have not had a panic attack in over 2 weeks! It is such a relief to not have the tightness in my throat and constant worry on my mind.

Also, I have a pretty annoying stomach disorder which also requires pills daily and I am proud to say that Shakeology has officially replaced those pills and I no longer have to take them!!! Which is a relief because they conflict with the anxiety pills.

Not only am I happier with my health but I am happier in general. One comment that has constantly been said to me is that I never smile and I always look mad. In the past couple weeks my face has been hurting so bad because I am constantly smiling and reaching out and talking to new people which is quite out of character for me. I started a new job right before my 21 days began and I am seriously loving life there and look forward to going to work each day, where as my old job I secretly hated with a passion.

10's all around today!!!

Day 9 and 10!

So my bad I didn't post yesterday, but I have great news as to why I missed my blog. I AM NOW A BEACHBODY COACH! Woooo!!! I am so excited! My coach and I started discussing it earlier today and she suggested that I start coaching and have my own challenge groups. Of course I am finishing my 21 days right now, but in the near future I will be running my own challenge groups.

So on yesterday, it was lower fix. One of my favorite workouts ever! I love feeling the burn in my arms and abs(well where they should be) it pushes me even harder to try and reach my goal. My arms have been a focus for this round as I want to shrink my arm fat down, so far I have been successful.

Now yesterday I also took a progress photo. The photo on the left below was March 29th of this year before my first round and the photo on the right is from yesterday! So happy with my results so far! Take a look for yourself!

I am so happy that my stomach has flattened as well as the roundness in my thighs is almost gone and that you can now see I have a chin!

Today's workout was lower fix. I hate that bloody workout its so tough and my legs feel like jello afterwards but that means its working and you have to love the burn!

I give myself 10's for both days! I have been working my butt off literally. I am pushing myself harder every day.

Day 7: Yoga And Rest

So today was my rest day and I got to do my favorite workout. Yoga Fix. I did my workout first thing this morning and ended up cleaning up my house quite a bit today, but I did get to rest a bit and it felt great. I pushed myself really hard today in yoga trying to lengthen myself to get an even better stretch. One of my goals is to be able to bend over with my knees straight and lay my palms on the ground. I all ready succeeded in touching the floor with my finger tips.

10's all around for me today and of course I had my shake. I am so tired so it going to be a short blog today. I have to get up early for work in the morning.

Here is my sweaty picture for the day. I had a workout buddy this morning. Fili kept laying on my yoga mat while I was working out.

Day 6: Dirty 30

So today was not a terrible workout day. It was hard of course but I didn't feel like death while doing it. Today of course was Dirty 30. A half hour workout that worked every muscle. I actually enjoyed a lot of the workouts and they were fun. I did the workout as soon as I got up this morning since today is my day off from work. I actually liked a morning workout better since I could have my Shakeology right after my workout. I really am starting to feel the effects of Shakeology. My skin is feeling and looking a lot better. It feels so soft and I haven't changed my skin care routine.

I don't know if this is from working out and working hard all day that I am sleeping through the night or the effects of Shakeology but I am getting a better nights sleep. I am also starting to notice a change in my appearance all ready. I did my measurements today out of curiosity and I have lost almost 2 inches so far. Mostly in my thighs and arms. I have also noticed my stomach is flattening out as well. 6 days in and I am all ready starting to see results. It feels good to notice this early. I really do think its because of the Shakeology as last time I did 21 Day Fix, I did not see results this early.

I think this is going to be the better of the two rounds I have done so far. I am really excited to see my end results after the 21 Days. Tomorrow is my favorite day YOGA! Love it, and I could do it in my sleep. I have to admit I have done the Yoga workout quite a bit since I ordered the DVDs. I LOVE YOGA!

So today went really well for me 10's all around for food, workout effort and water in take. And here is my sweaty picture from this morning!
