This month marked 6 months since I started this journey! You know that saying, "a year from now you will wish you would have started today"??? Well, gosh that is so true!!! I look back and am so thankful that I had that Ah Hah moment that made me realize it was time to really change my lifestyle. I began my journey in January, and I honestly remember thinking, "I don't really need this, but I'll give it a try. I could do this on my own if I really wanted to." Well, the truth is, I had been saying that for some time, and no big changes were happening. I needed to step out of my comfort zone and challenge my mind and my body. So 6 months ago, I plunged myself into my first Challenge Group. I did okay with that group. I stuck with it, but it was kind of a chore to make myself workout every day.
Wow has time changed! Last night I was up all night because I had downloaded some new music to workout to Insanity with and I was too excited to sleep! Hahaha! So you know what, I look back and I'm very thankful that 6 months ago I started when I did. After I conquered my first 12 weeks I was like, ok well I'll do one more. And here I am now, instead of talking about doing just one more, I'm already planning 6-8 months in advance of what I'm doing next! One of the great benefits of the beachbody programs is that they have these awesome 6 - 12 week calendars. It lets you focus on short term accomplishments instead of thinking of having to workout everyday forever. I promise you if you think short term, and survive, you are going to start thinking long term too!
I cannot even put into words how excited I am to look back in a year and see how far I have come! I may still not be at my dream weight or ideal body, but I know I am going to be keep doing what I am doing! and I am because of you! You guys are what motivates me to keep doing this everyday. Who am I to want you to be healthy and fit, if I'm not doing it myself!?!?!

"A year from now you will be glad you started today!"
Look how far you have come in six months. Your hard work and determination are truly paying off. You are living a healthier lifestyle, spreading awareness to stop the trend of obesity, setting an amazing example for your daughter, helping others through your challenge groups and pushing yourself to new limits each and everyday. I'm so excited for you and so proud of you!!!
