Here's to getting fit in 2014

Where did the year go?  2013 has been a challenge for me.  I've struggled with my weight for the past few years and finally in August of 2013 I had my "Ah-ha" moment!  I was looking online for different workouts; mainly a quick fix!  I stumbled across several sites on Facebook about clean eating and strength training.  So I thought why not?  I've never succeeded at anything before so what would it hurt right?  In 1 week of clean eating only, I dropped about 3 pounds.  I thought to myself, I can keep doing this!  So I did.  Sure I'd have a cheat here and there, but mainly I stayed on track and even added a little weight lifting a few days a week.  I lost about 10 pounds total in 3 months and I was stuck there.  I was getting frustrated and ready to throw in the towel until I came across a site on Pinterest for a Team Beachbody coach.  I went to the website and signed up for my free account with my free coach...little did I know how much I would fall in love with this company.  I joined a 7 day challenge group with my coach and sampled Shakeology for the first time...I fell in love with the shakes immediately!  I decided to order a workout and a month's supply of Shakeology.  T25 was a perfect fit for me...25 minutes a day and an AWESOME workout!  I incorporated clean eating along with the workout EVERYDAY!  It was a challenge at first because I wanted to do my workouts in the morning-I'm so not a morning person!  But I only had to wake up 30 minutes earlier, so I knew I could do it if I wanted it bad enough...and I did!  I started getting up every morning to workout.  After about 4 weeks it definitely became a habit for me.  I even wake up before my alarm now!  I have energy to start my day and I feel amazing.  I'm down a total of 17 pounds so far since August and I'm really noticing a difference in my body; especially how my clothes are fitting.  I've lost several inches since starting my Beachbody routine.  I can't wait to continue this into 2014.  I have about 2 and a half weeks of my Beta phase in T25 and I can't wait for the final results!  I'm armed and ready to bring on 2014.  I'm going to work hard eating clean and working out 5-6 days a week.  Hoping to become more organized in the process to help me through it!  I hope to be at my goal weight by January 2015!  Bring on the new year!
