I know it's been awhile since my last blog and believe me when I tell you I've fallen off the bandwagon plenty times since then but I finally found something to keep me focused and on track! I started doing T25 with my friend from work...shout out to my girl, Toni...about 4 weeks ago, after we started the Biggest Loser Challenge at work. We had our initial weigh in that day and I was so upset about what was starring back at me from the floor that I asked Toni if I could join her for her after work workouts with Shaun T. She said, "Of course!" And so began our workout regiment. We've been faithfully doing the T25 workout for the past 4 weeks and let me tell you, the results are phenomenal!!! Not only are we both focused but we've both lost weight and inches.
But back to the biggest loser for a moment. So our first weigh in was February 26th at which point I weighed in at 180 lbs. I was SHOCKED to say the least. I've NEVER even seen that number in the last 10 years when I was at my heaviest. So before I let it get me down, Toni suggested we start working out together. She had already been working out with Shaun T's Hip Hop Abs and was looking fabulous. So we made it a plan to begin that following Monday, the 3rd. It was the hardest workout I have EVER done in my life and had never sweat my ass off like that before.
Our second weigh in was on March 19th. I was so afraid to hop on that scale but I did because I wanted to see if all my hard work had paid off. I almost flipped my lid when I saw 170 lbs. In 3 weeks I had lost 10 lbs! I couldn't believe mine eyes. I vowed at that very moment that I would continue the 15 week workout regiment and not give up for one hot second. And speaking of HOT...dare I say results are quite visible...
The picture on the left was taken in Aug 2013 and the one on the
right was taken on March 19th, after the second weigh in. I haven't felt
so fabulous in about 15 years. I still have about 20 more pounds to go
but I think I'm well on my way.
Last night I had so much fun shopping with my girls. Something I haven't enjoyed for years! They were so cute and very complimentary on my improved body. They encouraged me to treat myself because "I deserved a reward for all my hard work!" So I did...what do you think of my outfit choice?
