My review & experience of T25

Ok, I did my final T25 workout yesterday. The stretch workout. I LOVE that one!!  :) 

Now that I've fully completed the program, I wanted to share my opinion & experience with it. 

First off, I started from zero activity. I had lost some weight last year, regained it all & stopped working out entirely. So, Tania was my best friend for ALL of Alpha! My goal was to get through it & that's what I did! 

I had obstacles during the 14 weeks (I added Gamma when I was halfway through Beta). We have 3 boys, we homeschool, & we don't live near any family. So, I had to figure out how to get my workout done every single day with minimal help & little people working alongside me some days. :)

Then, my father in law suddenly passed away at the start of Beta requiring a week long trip back home (to Michigan from New York) & then we moved out of state (from New York to Pennsylvania) when I started Gamma. 

But, you know what? I finished! I don't feel like I had the results I could have but I'm so proud that I didn't give up! What would I have changed?? I would have followed the suggested eating plan! I stuck with Weight Watchers because I know it, it was something I was comfortable with & because I didn't fully trust the beach body methods. I surely do now! 

I also would have started Beta with a heavier weight! I packed in a hurry when my father in law passed away so I only brought the band that comes with the program. I'm sure some love the band! But, it wasn't for me. Then when we returned home, I used the weights I had on hand -- 3 pounders. I used those for another week before running out to buy 6 pounders -- those were perfect for me! But, I lost 2 weeks of the 5 to lower weights. Now I know though & I suggest the slightly higher weight to anyone that asks.  :) 

I'm SO glad I took the chance & spent the money to buy T25! My husband thought I was out of my mind when I told him what it cost & that I wanted to buy it. He supported me but was certain it'd be a $140 paper weight. I was quite happy to prove him (and me!) wrong though! I nailed that program & when it was nearly done, I was planning what I'd do next! There was no way I was just stopping & I wanted to try something new. Now, I'm starting the 21 day fix! I didn't get my nutrition under control like I should have during T25 but I will now! :):):)

This was taken in December 2013. Yes, I was eating! I wasn't frequently in front of the camera so it's the best I could find. 

Here's me the last day of T25 with a load of groceries for the 21 day fix, lol I'll get better pictures soon!  :)
