September 24th
Well, it is about 17 days into this round of the challenge and things are going surprisingly well! I have two accountability partners which greatly encourages me to keep on keeping on, so to speak. It is amazing how if you pull with others the load of working out and eating well does not seem so heavy.
I've been focused on eating Paleo for about 12 days now, and am feeling much better due to it. The first week was terrible. I had no energy, was grumpy, dumpy, angry and depressed plus a few other unpleasant dwarfs. Now, that it's cleared up I have new energy, less low blood sugar slumps and the weight has been falling off. I have lost 10 pounds since the first day, 17 days ago of BBM.
If you make a choice to eat healthy, just take it one day at a time. This is not a race to see how fast it can come off. It is about making wise choices for your body, and for your mind one day at a time. I don't think this should just be limited to food. Also, focus on early bedtime, and getting out in God's glorious creation. The most important is letting go of guilt and the need to be perfect all the time. Sit back and watch a movie with your kids or just read. Don't feel pressured to get it all done. Part of what caused me to eat so much was stress. When that goes down, my desire to consume nasty junk goes down too!
I wanted to share photos of my cute new workout outfit! I headed out to GAP and picked it up this weekend with a friend. It makes me feel cool and confidant as I sweat away!

A thought for today. Making changes can feel so overwhelming and under-rewarded some times. You go day after day saying no to those unhealthy choices for your body, and you wake up screaming as you exercise and YET you feel no results. Don't let that get you down! Don't give into the enemy telling you, nothing is changing and you are not good enough.
You are good enough and you were bought with a price. Our bodies belong to God and are used for his service. We are his workmanship and that is SOMETHING! So, as you sweat, sigh and say yes to veggies remember who you belong to and the results will eventually come! This is about a whole body and life style change not quick fix results.
I found this image encouraging this morning.

Good morning Baltimore :) Just to quote from Hairspray today for ya :)
Well, it's challenge time again.
I am heading into doing another round of Bikini Body Mommy 2.0
I am so excited as I take off into it! It feels great to work out daily and have such a clear goal in mind.
It keeps my mind positive and focused on GOALS! I will update here periodically and have photo updates as well. Looking forward to the fall season for sure!
