My new found Love for FITNESS!

Hello Everyone!!! I cant believe I have not blogged since November! Shame on me, seriously! I do want to share with you my new found LOVE....FITNESS! I have NEVER been the type to be into health, fitness, and nutrition. Something took place in my heart about 3 1/2 months ago.  I was feeling terrible about myself,  despite that I know the Lord called me beautiful and what not, I still felt, well, yes that nasty word....UGLY! Having two babies back to back was hard on my body, image and self esteem.  I was not fitting into my clothes, and I just wasn't healthy and was not taking care of my body the way I knew I needed to.  Its ok to love who you are as a person, that is AWESOME, but when you think of what is actually going on in your insides, heart, liver, lungs, blood, everything, that's is when it's time to make a change.

So......I took the leap and ordered a 90 day program from beachbody called ChaLEAN Extreme!  And guess what, IT WORKED!  with the program I lost a total of 25lbs, 22 inches off my body and 9% of my body fat!!! Its been a little over a wk and I lost another 2lbs and several inches!  What I love is that I didn't just workout to just have this slim body, but to eat healthy too. To take care of my body the way God desires of me.  I even have a desire to learn more about nutrition and what foods do to our system.  I know understanding more of why eating certain things does not benefit my body will help encourage me even more.  Now, that I finished one challenge I am on to the next with Chalene Johnson's TURBO FIRE!! It is intense, but I am so proud of what I have accomplished, I am doing things athletes do! It is amazing.

My body has never felt better and CLEANER then it does now.  It is so worth it and there is noo going back! Here are some of my Day 1 and Day 90 results of ChaLEAN Extreme.   I will post results from my Day 1 and Day 30 of my Turbo Fire 90 day challenge when time comes!

One more thing, I didn't decide to lose weight so I could be the skinniest pretties woman out there, I did it because in all reality, there is more then just the physical, there is health, there is much more to being overweight then the outward appearance..and same goes to someone who is skinny, they can be skinny and still not be healthy. I choose health! and with that comes looking great ;)  

I used to be super scared of showing people some of my pics BUT that was the old me...so who cares right?? plus I want to encourage others too!
