day three

Here are just a few of my pre August pictures

Today was a good day. My husband is getting way to excited about his workouts (Maybe its what keeps him going) but he is just insane. Keeps the house interesting anyhow :) I had three good workouts. One at my local gym and then I did ChaLEAN Extreme burn circuit 2 and Turbo Jam's Ab Jam. I was dying and John was right there helping to push me - he even threatened to call my Challenge Coach! Really? (I wont tell him, but I would hate it if he wasnt there pushing me. I know he will be a big reason I will have made such a success in my challenge!)

 Over all good day. I am starting to feel more hungry more often - I think that is a good thing.

Today my daughter asked my why skinny girls work out when they are already skinny - made me feel like sad, like she totally knows I'm fat and my daughter has the fat mom :( John answered her for me. I don't want to be the fat mom.

So far its been easy fitting in my Challenge WORKOUTS in to my daily routine. I think its cause I really want this. I talked to John's aunt last night - shes on her own weight loss journey and she said it best - It just comes down to how bad do you want it? I want it bad. I really do.

I think I may have mentioned this before, but I recently became a Beachbody Coach. They hold an annual summit in Vegas. How awesome would it be for John and I to use our 5 year anniversary to FINALLY get a honeymoon and do it there - since it is just about the same time we would celebrate! I love working for Beachbody. It is so easy to incorporate in my everyday life since I am already on this journey. I am finding people will text me or message me on here or on myfitnesspal or on facebook. Its so cool how we can all connect together! I am not a coach because I am perfectly fit - I decided to become a coach so I can learn with others and together beat obesity.

I don't think people realise how dangerous it is to be obese - I think sometimes we equate being fit with hard work and unenjoyable. I mean I remember my friend and I saying I would rather be fat and happy then skinny and deprive myself.

We hear things like it can cause heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure or high cholesterol. Do you guys know what that means? Did you know you can lose your FEET form diabetes? Its insane. Here's a few more facts that may sway you to begin your own journey now--

Please just at least skim that link. (PS - you don't have to be over weight to be at risk for some of these, being unhealthy and not striving to be fit puts you at risk too!)

My next short term goal is to figure out how to incorporate more sleep into my night - after my kids fall asleep I am a night owl and it never fails, I only sleep 6-7 hours. If I only went to sleep and hour or two sooner...

Have an awesome Thursday people! Looking forward to day 4 of my official challenge!
