More pics from the celebration yesterday!

I also scheduled my next body scan for October 29.

The results from yesterday’s scan shows a large drop in water weight and that set my body fat % to be 2% higher then the first one. 😞

At first that kind of took the wind out of my sail for the progress. However, progress is progress. So, I looked at the results of what has occurred and decided to keep going. This time, I will be more structured in the diet aspect of Phase 1.

I love 1st Phorm protein and decided to enroll Bre Gachne to support my macros amd adjust to burn fat and keep lean muscle mass.

After all, my main goal is to have hamstring/glute separation… lol

Anyone have any non-fiction good book recommendations? I’m heading to the library today!

I’ll get my food plan in place and then Phase 1 here I come.

Oh, phase 1 consists of all the same things as 75 hard with additional tasks. They are:
❤️‍🔥 5 minute cold shower
❤️‍🔥 10 minute visualization
❤️‍🔥 3 critical power list tasks (looks like my home is going through a makeover along with my business)

If anyone wants to start or be on a health journey I have a Facebook group you can join.

The stats and truth of my 75 hard journey.

15.5 pounds lost
25 inches gone (6 of them from my waist)

150 workouts
75 gallons of water
Countless trips to the bathroom 😂
4 books read
279 miles walked

Here’s the truth… I didn’t follow this to perfection. I followed this as a guideline to keep me within my own limits and committed.

From the very beginning I knew I’d allow myself to have some alcohol. I had restrictions and guidelines for myself. Come to find out that even when I could they didn’t sit with me very well so I’d choose not to. I also knew the next day I didn’t want to feel like crap. The best way for me to learn is to allow and then decide.

My diet wasn’t super strict either. I intentionally chose healthier foods and my body craved them with all the workouts. I did have a hamburger or a slice of pizza occasionally as long as it fit into my calories for the day. That also changed and I was able to see what foods help me feel well and what ones don’t.

According to the rules I failed 😞

Except I was playing my game (which if I am fully aware of that potentially being an excuse to not follow rules).

Here’s why I wasn’t super strict. I’ve been there and done that. I also know it’s not sustainable for long periods of time. I have done super strict dieting and know what it gets me… a rebound.

I wanted it to go different for me this time. I watched the other completing and they were dying for day 75 so they could binge on the treats they couldn’t have. I wanted to be healthy for life and have day 76 be just like any other day.

I wanted to learn how to say no and choose what was good for me and know when it was ok to indulge and trust myself. No more oh well, I fell off the wagon let’s indulge all day and start again tomorrow.

I didn’t see myself learning these things without doing it this way. I needed to learn moderation and staying committed.

So, here’s to doing it my way and in my opinion, amazing results.

I may not have won in the eyes of the challenge but I knocked this one out of the park.

Tomorrow I think I will start phase 1. For today, I will eat Mexican and drink a Margarita! 😂

I did it!!! One of the workouts for the 75 hard challenge is to be done outside. When I first started I was in the 18 minute per mile range. My goal was to get to 15 minute miles by the end of the 75 days and today on day 69…. I hit and surpassed that goal with an average pace over 3 miles at 14 minutes and 37 seconds!!! 🥳🥳🥳🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Today is Day 36 of .

Every morning when I wake up, I take a progress pic.

Today I caught a glimpse of myself in a different mirror in the house.

I was like holy s**t. So, I stopped and took stock and really looked at the changes.

Everything is thinning out, slimming, toning. I was really surprised. Today, I could really see the changes in my body.

Putting in the work everyday no matter what and to have the results hit you like that. Feels so good. To see and acknowledge that what you’re doing is working.

And… I’m almost half way through.

What will it be like in another 39 days. I can’t predict but only do the small tasks everyday and keep showing up for myself.

I’ve also realized that the outside workouts do wonders for your soul.

You can do hard things.

I can do hard things.

Yesterday I completed day 30/75.

It was pretty easy and the last two days… I’m running low on steam. This is where the mental toughness just may be tested. I want to sit and watch tv and rest.

That’s not my commitment. So I will go get it done and allow whatever emotions are surfacing to release.

The thing I learned in my somatic trauma class was the body holds trauma. Trauma isn’t just the big catastrophic incidents. Trauma is what happens inside you during an event. Even your parent yelling at you.

So, the more I work my body and things get moving around the more I will release old energy that has been stored in my body.

So walking and crying may actually be normal. Lol. Finally being in a space to release the stuff I couldn’t at the time it happened.

My past behavior is to get healthy and fit and then something happens and I derail myself. I start eating and then gain a bunch of weight back.

Eating and working out alone are not enough when the weight we carry is from emotional eating and then verbally abusing ourselves.

This time I will keep going and heal all the discomfort and process the stuff that comes up.

Celebrating each day I commit and keep going.

No more 💩 sandwiches for me.

Today I was having a texting conversation with one of the kids.

Birthdays are coming up and one wants an animal. (One animal leads to 4 animals that I have to care for because the kids are only there 50% of the time.)

It’s a no. No animals cause like I said… I have no desire to care for 4 kids, run a business, be in relationship with Ben and the house and throw a bunch of animals in there. No thanks. I know you know what I’m talking about.

It’s like it’s her dying with to have this pet. 😂

We were speaking to enrollment of a pet and I am not enrolled.

Teaching kids concepts like this may seem like they are too young to understand but really they aren’t. It’s the perfect time to teach them.

It’s also the perfect time to teach them that not now doesn’t mean not ever. She even said I will never get one.

I said don’t say never. The timing may not be right now but that doesn’t mean it’s not possible or thing won’t align for them to happen.

She didn’t quite understand in a text so it’s a conversation to have with her tomorrow. To teach all of them the concept of possibilities and timing.

That the power of word declares our reality and if you say never… we’ll, your right. It will never happen cause you’ll be sure to sabotage the possibility.

Those are the conversations and lessons I wish I knew growing up and am so thankful I can teach them to the kids so it’s a natural way of being I creating with possibilities and the universe.

What I’ve learned in 28 days of #75 hard.

I’ve lost 12.5 inches and 5 pounds.

My mile is 3 minutes faster and I have to walk greater distances to fill the time at a quicker pace.

When I commit to something and really decide… it’s game on.

You don’t always have to start super rigid. You can allow yourself some leeway until you are ready to realize that leeway may only be cheating yourself.

It’s ok to pivot and incorporate something new.

I sweat 😅 a lot! 😂

The scale isn’t a good indicator of progress.

Check other metrics. Like a pair of shorts that were tight or how much sexier and confident I feel in and out of clothes.

You’re only in competition with yourself. The goal is to be a better version of yourself then you were yesterday.

Further along the journey may require new things. Including recovery care.

Realizing how strong and dedicated my body is after all the years I’ve abused my body and hated it.

This time around I’m doing it because I fu***ng love myself and actually give a f**k more about me than you.

I’m not nearly as soft of a person as I thought I was. I’m actually more of a blunt go getter that swears.

A F**k you attitude fuels my soul. It allows me to stay in my own lane and focus on what I need to clean up or tend to in my life. (I love to clean up other people’s messes except then I have no time for my own)

Stop eating s**t sandwiches. I don’t need to make others feel better and eat their s**t sandwich. I can let them decide what to do with their s**t sandwich.

I’m a MF bad ass!

Do you find yourself either rigid in your boundaries or lax?

Maybe you swing between the two?

Boundaries are tough as a parent sometimes. You want them to be able to have fun and you don’t want to be that tyrant.

Without boundaries and structure the house is chaos. The kids feel the chaos and don’t know what to expect or how to function.

Having to rigid of boundaries and structure doesn’t teach them flexibility and they eventually rebel against all rules and structure.

It takes practice to be with the anxiousness that arises when creating boundaries with your kids and allowing them to feel how they feel when you enforce them.

It’s also knowing how much flexibility and when. Not one child is the same. Some can handle more wiggle room and some can’t.

It takes practice being present and knowing. First you as the parent needs to be with the feelings that come up for you when you implement them.

What do you notice? Are you rigid or have no boundaries?

Three weeks ago, I decided to check into this challenge a friend was doing. I listened to the podcast that goes with it and was like… hell, ya I’m gonna do this.

I didn’t want to tell anyone because well, then I would have to actually do it and what if I failed.

I was also surprised at how excited I was over a pretty big challenge.

I started 21 days ago. I decided that this structure would support me well in what I want to create for myself.

This is about showing up for yourself every single day. Doing the damn thing and the only person I’m in competition is myself.

I took measurements as well as purchased an Apple Watch to keep track of my numbers.

My elliptical workouts consistently increase because my body is getting better.

My normal walking speed is 2 minutes faster than when I started.

Showing my kids that taking care of myself is important, to be the example of declaring and fulfilling on something I want to happen.

Giving myself the grace to adjust what needs adjusting (calories, exercise).

Listening to the voice that wants to let things slide but not allowing it to choose.

Feeling the emotions as I keep going, succeeding and committing. Celebrating myself each day as I check the boxes of what I’ve completed.

I’m a natural go getter. Acknowledging myself for what I’ve completed, celebrating myself as I keep going is a new way of being an achiever.

Even when my “bitch voice” wants to tell me that’s not enough and the scale hasn’t moved. (It really hasn’t but my measurements are down 12 inches + and performance is up.)

Im having fun seeing what I’m capable of and will be adding in a few other things to the list that I would like to commit to on a daily basis.

Only 54 more days to go!
