Another day down

I am into my 10 th week and I was telling my best friend and coach how I didn't see a change. I mean I know there is a change and I notice it more in my clothing than anywhere else but still sometimes you just don't see it for yourself. Sometimes you just see yourself as you always have and its hard to change the way you look at yourself. This journey is a lot of self reflection, discipline and hard work. I think sometimes we take who we are and how we look for granted. If you see yourself as perfect that is great, but we are always a work in progress, there is always something we need to work on. Not just the outside but who we are inside. Sometimes I feel like I have been working out forever, I cannot wait for a small break from it and changing my routine. I am excited to try a new workout routine and see how I change from that. I want to build muscle and tone myself up some more. I don't want to look like a body builder and most normal women won't if they lift weights we just tone up not bulk up not without enhancement.

I think people see those of us who work out as fanatics and not normal. Coaching for me isn't about sales, its about helping people. I LOVE to help people! I want to show others that they CAN do it. I once thought I was too overweight, and I could never get myself into shape. I thought I would have to do some drastic dieting and boring gym workouts which I do not have time for with 2 children and its expensive! I know a lot of people tell me so is what I am doing, but I would rather pay 1 fee for a workout and have it for whenever I want than spend $100/month for a gym membership where I have to drop the kid off to be watched or work around my husband's schedule to get out of the house. The wonderful thing is they have a 30 day money back guarantee on everything for the most part, so if you don't think its working for you return it and get a refund or sell it on ebay. Trust me people are always looking for the workouts from beachbody.

My goal is to buy and look decent in a bikini by summer, big goal I know.. I still struggle with the baby scars of stretch marks, those are still something that I am not completely comfortable with. I know most moms have them, its just hard to get over feeling awkward about them I guess. Is that the right word? We feel awkward?? I am not ashamed of them, I just feel like they are not accepted in society with all these perfect flawless, air brushed models out there. Okay enough of this for today. Workout have fun, eat healthy. Diet is 80%, Exercise is only 20%.
