Eating clean is hard at first, but is so good for you and totally do-able! I actually lost 20 pounds with just changing my diet!
Diet wasn't enough though. I stopped losing weight and I was so worried that I would gain that weight back. That is a valid fear right? I had not been introduced to the phrase "lifestyle change" . I only thought it was a diet. You know, you lose the weight then go back to eating the things you like, right? WRONG. Well, for the most part.
Anyway, diet wasn't enough. This is when I found a workout program that didn't totally make me want to die while I was exercising. I mean the trainer was a 57 year old man, it couldn't be too hard right? Sorry Tony Horton! In reality it was hard, but with the dedication to 30 minutes a day and a walk to my basement, I was able to lose a lot more weight with P90x3! Not only was I losing weight, but finding a new way of life. My body was getting stronger and I was getting more confident and with that I was a happier person!
As the months moved on and the pounds fell off, I was able to try out more programs with Beachbody. I got a coach and she introduced me to these amazing groups that give awesome tips and motivation called challenge groups! In these challenge groups I started losing the fear of gaining my weight back because I was introduced to a lifestyle change. Because of these groups, I was able to get the confidence to become a coach myself and to share this all with you! This is not some temporary fix, it is a lifestyle change, and I am better for it!
Did you know that I can still have those foods that I "gave up"? Yep, I have them all the time. Just in moderation! Moderation is key to pretty much everything in life. If you overdo anything, I am pretty sure you would regret it. That is the same thing with food. I love my lifestyle and definitely enjoy the little things, including pizza and the occasional adult beverage :)
