Transformation Tuesday, 8 month mark

I don't think I've ever posted a #transformationtuesday photo? But, coming up on my 9th month of getting fit seemed like as great a time as any! :) 

In December of 2013, I reluctantly took these photos (wearing an old pair of sweatpants cut into shorts because NOTHING else fit me!). 

I had started T25 & was determined to stick with it so I knew I should take them. I never in a million years thought I would be sharing them with ANYONE though!! lol 


8 months later, a whole lot more than just my workout gear has changed! :)

I've completed T25, 21 Day Fix, Piyo & part of Les Mills Combat (I paused it for Piyo). And I'm currently doing a mix of Piyo & Body Beast along with Rob. #BOOM #girlslifttoo


I'm also a Beachbody coach now, I started 'for the discount' on all those programs I wanted to try. And, because I couldn't shut my mouth about the products so I figured I should make some cash if I could! lol I never anticipated the true potential & how much that choice would change my life though. We recently bought our new Jeep & we just made the first payment with my BB income. :):):):)


The time will pass, what you do with that time is up to you. I'm so thankful for the choices I've made. :)

Piyo, week 2/round 2

I had a total & complete case of the Mondays today. I did NOT want to workout! Then, I convinced myself to just push play because I always feel better once I start. 

Around minute 28 (36 minute workout), I started to feel it...... when suddenly...... I hear shoes flying at the ceiling fan in the next room. The little fellas didn't nap today so they were in rare form. 

I went to stop the chaos & discover they've both pooped. 

I never got my groove back but I DID finish!! 


Week 2 day 1 = Sweat! I was not happy with all those push-ups, lol
