Today has been a beautiful milestone for me! To go four weeks following a plan and committing to the process has not been easy. There have been temptations to eat, drink and be lazy. Today was one of them. I was so tired after work today...it would have been so easy to go home, slip on the pj's and crawl right in to bed. Instead, with the cheers of the hubs...off to the workout I went. I completed an arm work out, a series of stomach exercises and added 30 minutes of cardio at the end. I chose to do the treadmill today and am proud to say that I jogged the whole darn thing!
After my workout I made my favorite chocolate banana protein shake...gulped it down and then off to say prayers with my little ones prior to getting ready for bed myself. This has been and is a big commitment and it has not been easy for my kids or my husband. Being away at the gym several nights a week is tough! I let my boys know that this is like a science project for mama...a 12 week project to see if it is possible to not only lose weight but to transform my body to have muscles! My youngest said, "Impossible. Sorry mom, but it won't happen." Well, I can see he is my biggest supporter! :)
I think I need a motivation piece. Maybe I should go try on bikini's...pick one out and hang it so that I can see it every single day. What do you do to motivate yourself? A dream board? A reward of some sort?
