Most days I would rather sit on the couch and eat some delicious BBQ chips and drink some sweet tea.
I had a gym membership and I rarely went because I HATED other people looking at me while I was working out. I felt judged. All of it was in my head of course.
But I LOVE not feeling like crying when I go shopping.
I LOVE not trying on half of the clothes in my closet and deciding I would rather not go out with my friends because I look disgusting. (For the record, said friends love me no matter what I look like.)
I LOVE having the energy and stamina to go for a run with my husband or chase my kids around at the park all day and still do all of the other things that moms and wives do.
Something clicked for me recently (turning 30 might have had a little to do with it). I have pretty much always been skinny, but someone two or three times my size could EASILY outrun me, do more jumping jacks than me, more situps, more pushups, more everything.
So I've started my journey to becoming healthy. I have SOOOOO much to learn. The biggest changes I have made are working out 6 days a week in my living room with a Beachbody program called Slim in 6, replacing one meal a day with Shakeology, cutting out a lot of bad food and drinks and replacing them with healthier choices, and drinking a LOT more water.
I also became a Beachbody Coach to help keep me accountable and to continue actively learning how to keep myself and my family moving towards a healthier way of life.
The things I love are what I have been thinking of every time I put on my tennis shoes and I have to say that when I start to feel sweat roll down my back, I'm starting to enjoy it because I KNOW that I am creating a better me. A better mom and a better wife.
I'm the one that puts food on the table 5 times a day. I'm the one that buys the groceries. I'm the one my daughters will first learn habits from. I'm going to make sure they are good ones.
