Let the journey begin..

I just started my adventure with Beachbody.
I am two days down looking forward to day 3.

21DF Moto: "Take it one day at a time & One pound at a time"

As you know, I'm doing the 21 Day Fix program.
UH-MAZING.
I love it. 
Day one was Cardio Fix.
Kicked my butt and I was sore as could be the next day.
Day two was Upper Fix.
I felt a good burn.

[My arms are going to hate me later- we're going to a baseball game tonight, so I'll be holding Caroline for the majority of the time- yikes] But at least I know it's working :)

No pain, no gain. 
^or that ;)

Tomorrow is Lower Fix.
Ready to tone my legs & butt!
Nothing like Leg Day on a Friday. TGIF.
But that's tomorrow, :)

I had heard all the great things about Shakeology and why I should drink it and how much I was going to love it. But I just chalked it up to "another protein shake."
But everyone was SO right. 
It's awesome.
I just did mine as simple as can be, no added ingredients to begin with. 
Handful of ice, 10 oz. water, and 1/2 scoop Chocolate ShakeO.
[1/2 scoop to start out with so my tummy & body can adjust to all the good nutrients pouring into my body- you know, since 99% of this country eats CRAP]

It's amazing how much energy I have had these last 2 days. 
I have been able to get so much done. 
Being pregnant and in my first trimester, I've been exhausted- all.day.long. 
Coffee wouldn't help. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. 

Shakeology does though. And I feel better. It curbs my appetite. I don't want the chocolate chip muffins, I want the spinach and kale 50/50 lettuce. And topped with yummy stuff.
In 2 days, I can already tell a difference in my eating habits. 
Now THAT blows my mind. 

I've been reading the book "The Compound Effect" and it is talking about making small changes for a successful future.
This week the one thing I'm doing to take baby steps towards a successful future is changing one habit that is actually setting me back.
What did I change?
My sleeping habits.
I now wake up at 7:00AM instead of 9.
And I know go to bed by 11:00PM instead of whenever. 

What does that have anything to do with success?
Early to rise, early to shine. 
I wake up before my daughter now.
Now I get my workout in, I drink my ShakeO, I take a shower and I start a few household chores - all before she gets up.
Which sets me up for the rest of my day- 
after she gets up, we have breakfast & watch Mickey Mouse and have a few hours to play before nap time. & now when she naps, instead of cramming in working out, a shower and a little work for my other job- I have more time to work and more time to get things done around the house. 
It's not so rushed.
Which in tern, also means less stress :)

SO - positive things are happening over here.
I'd be happy to help you make some positive changes in your life, but when you're ready. 
No one can make you do it, you have to want it.
