... two and a half years ago, I posted a mere handful of posts and then pretty much gave up. Pathetic. I'm tempted to delete them, but I think I'll leave them up there to remind myself just how quickly I give up on things. How many times I've tried and failed.
Tomorrow, I start Beachbody's 21-day Fix and Shakeology program. The difference this time? I'm not alone. Hubby is doing the diet with me, and the rest of the family will be participating as well. For the first time, I don't feel like I'm alone and it is just up to me. I mean, I've been a part of great groups (one group of ladies in particular that I LURVE), but they're online and not here to smack the burger and fries out of my hand, not here to help me chop up all the healthy foods I need to eat, and not here to drag my arse into the living room to work out. And sometimes? Sometimes I really need that.
My good friend (and Beachbody Coach) RD has been doing this diet for quite some time now, and is finding great success. She warned me this would be hard. Last night, we sat down and opened all the boxes and started going through all the pamphlets and I very quickly got overwhelmed. This is going to be VERY HARD. But, it isn't going to be impossible. So, we made a grocery list for a couple of days, and then went to Target to get some new weights and yoga mats. I made a calendar to track our meals and workouts for the next few days.
And, you know what? I'm excited. I'm really, truly excited.
Later today, we're going to weigh, take measurements, and our before/after photos, and I'm going to post all of that separately along with our goals. For now, I just wanted to take a minute to just reflect on how much I truly struggled over the years, and how desperately I want to succeed this time. And for the first time ever, I see that it is actually in reach.
See? Excited.
rock on!
