60 Days!!!

Well, it has been SIXTY days since I made this lifestyle change.  I knew that this change would be more than just a physical change.  It's an emotional change too.  It's funny how the littlest things can throw you off track or become excuses for not giving it your all.  I am very disappointed to say that last week this happened to me.  I was at my all time high at the beginning of the week.  I was feeling better than I had ever felt before.  I even started a new challenge group with my best girl friends back home!  I was ready to finish this final week of Insanity hard.   Then, it just kind of all fell apart.  I needed to step away and find what was making it do that.  The truth is it was me.  I lost focus in my journey.  I let myself get wrapped up in drama that wasn't even mine.  So I decided to step away, finish my Insanity journey strong on my own, and have even found a new Insanity group to start my round 2 as of Monday.

So what does it look like when it all falls apart???  Well I saw bits of old kristen come back.  I was becoming negative, bitter, over-sensitive, paranoid, exhausted, angry, frustrated, disappointed, and I think that about sums it up as just plain POOPY!  I told myself that things will happen in your life that might deter you away from your journey so I needed to learn how to handle it.  I tried for awhile, but I cracked, and just gave up.  I am PROUD to say however, throughout this social tumble to the ground, I did find the strength inside me to do my workout on my own for a week and a half, and today my hard work, devotion and my choice to remove myself and get a fresh start paid off!  That scale is going down again, and those pants zipped!  That's right...they zipped!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Now I am not going to say they are muffin-top free yet, but I started out not even being able to get them up over my hips.

So as day 60 came and gone, I hold my head high and remind myself that I may have completed one challenge, but my challenge will continue, and every day I will become a healthier and happier person.

So there is no 60 day pic, mostly because my partner in crime is not really on the same workout path as me right now.  But I guess that's just an excuse, and I could have my husband take the pics :)  We shall see!  However, I have a hair appointment in about a week that is way over due, and I kind of want to wait and take them then!!!
