~Progress~

I weighed myself this morning and I am officially down 8 pounds in the last 2 weeks. I still can’t believe it considering I consumed a fair amount of adult beverages last weekend with family over and let the reigns loose a bit on my diet over the weekend. The good thing is I have been keeping up with my work outs. I didn’t totally blow my diet otherwise I think the scale would have reflected that more, but I wasn’t as good as I could have been. I am a true believer in moderation these days and think that we should be able to splurge a bit as long as we don’t do it daily. Also, I was really excited last night because I decided to take a progress picture and compared it to when I first started this program and was amazed that I could already tell a difference. Feast your eyes on these baby abs:It might just be one baby ab, but she is peaking through a bit. :) I can’t wait to see what another 2 weeks will bring!!!

Motivation Monday

Last but not least (not in the slightest), yesterday was the first day of our health and fitness challenge group and I am just giddy about it. Everyone in the group is excited and full of energy and it’s contagious! I love that we all have a common place to check in and share our work outs, shake ideas, etc. It’s just fun and I can really see how motivating it is and how it can really hold people accountable. I can’t wait to see progress pictures from our challengers because I know they are going to be AMAZING!

Welp, back to work I go! Have a great Tuesday!
