Hey guys! It's been awhile since I've posted about my fitness journey.
I wanted to share with you my new pictures because I am excited about my progress! As of today I'm down 24.5 pounds and 23.5" since I started in July.
With Ollie's heart battle, I didn't care about my own personal health, and I do think that's completely normal as a Mama. However, I quickly saw after she was fixed how bad I had let myself go and it honestly made me sad. So I did something about it.
I threw the excuses out of the window after a week of hearing my negative complaints coming out of my mouth. I'm busy. I have 3 kids. I can't find the time. I love junk food...but those were all excuses because I did find the time to watch all my favorite television show, and I was aware of everything going into my mouth & later my butt.
So I committed to get success. I now workout about 6 days a week. I did TurboFire for 10 weeks and I'm into week 9 of P90X. I also drink Shakeology once a day - it's amazing stuff!
The thing is that if I can do it, anyone can do it. And we all owe it to ourselves to be healthy. I never realized before Ollie the importance of our health, but it's truly one thing money can never buy and when your health is gone - you can't replace it. So now I workout for myself, for the energy it gives me, and for how stinking good I feel. I also workout for my family. So I know I'm here for as long as God wants me here, and so I can teach them the importance of a healthy lifestyle as well.
If you are interested in making a change, please email me at housethatjadebuilt@gmail.com I'm starting a private small group fitness challenge January 2nd on Facebook. Beachbody has offered amazing packages at great prices & anyone can do this no matter where you live. I'd love to help you change your lifestyle as well!

ReplyDeleteWOOT WOOT!!! You look UH-MAZING!!!!! Congrats girl:) I've been doing Turbo Jam for about a month. Although I don't really have much to lose, I needed to get this flab into shape, lol.
ReplyDeleteugh. well. uh....So my husband borrowed some P90X videos and I started to do them with him, but then I fell down the stairs and (this is ridiculous) bruised my bottom soooo badly that I couldn't move without saying OW OW OW, so I took a break, then he started the tapes OVER from the beginning because he is nuts (I just said TAPES? I meant Videos, because I'm so young like that) and now I am just back to trying to get some sleep and eating ice cream. Poop. I am feeling convicted here.
ReplyDeleteSERIOUSLY THOUGH THE BRUISE IS THE SIZE OF MY HAND. IT IS SERIOUS BUSINESS IN A GLORIOUS PURPLE AND YELLOW.
ReplyDeleteAnnie, you rock! Good for you. It's hard when life is stressful to be healthy, but that is exactly the time we should be. Now, off to follow my own advice. Ann
