Middle of October ... UPDATE

 So here we are towards the end of October and some GREAT things are happening!


I joined a challenge through a "company" called Built Different. They are amazing! I HIGHLY suggest that you check them out if you are looking for a coach or support. I would also recommend Kaitlyn Raymond as another resource... it all depends on what you are looking for and your goals.

Well, through this challenge for the past 6 weeks, I started off strong, but then.... like always, started pooping out and didn't work out the way I wanted to, always stuck to plan, and the mindset STUNK!

Well, there was a mini-challenge within this challenge - and I was 1 of 3 that won a $50 gift card AND an entry to the next challenge for the winter!!! WHAT!?!?! This is what I needed to really put forth my best effort to get on this journey and finally lose weight and KEEP IT OFF!  With this, I've been binge watching episodes of THE BIGGEST LOSER and how the contestants came on to the show - watching how much weight they were dropping weekly is amazing! However, I do understand that they have access to workout 24/7 and someone either teaching them how to cook or cooking for them. The nutrition part, I THINK I have a good handle on it - it's just being consistent with the workout portion. I do have access to a gym 24/7, but don't have the time to workout 3-4x a day either like the contestants. 

So, with that - what's my balance in life? What is my plan or schedule to get it in? The best time for me to get it in is in the early mornings - HOWEVER, I LOVE my sleep and it's hard to get up in the morning. In the evenings, I'm tired from the day and want to spend time with my boy. Sooooo... looks like I go to bed early to get up early to get to the gym...like 4am early...so that means waking up at 3:30AM to get dressed and at gym by 4. Gives me 2 hours to workout - 1 hour lift, 1 hour cardio. By doing this, I know that it will help melt this fat off my body AND keeping up my nutrition. My mindset will always be a work in progress - always a daily check. 

I can't wait to be able to post my before's and after's... of course, I'll still post my in between's... LOL
