On 10/19/15, I committed to starting and completing a program. I chose T25 because I'm obsessed with Shaun T, his workouts get results AND it was only 25 minutes long - PERFECT for a busy mom of 2!
I often get asked when I work out with the boys? My answer - in the MORNING before they wake up. I can workout while Simon is awake, but definitely not Nolan. He thinks it's time to wrestle...It's not always easy to get up with my alarm, but it's what I have to do if I want to make progress towards my goals.
At the beginning, T25 was HARD! I mean like really really hard. I felt like I spent more time taking breaks than actually working out. UHHH Anyone else feel me? I began to think that I had picked the wrong program. I definitely have some Type A tendencies. Once I say I'm going to do something, especially if I tell someone, I have to see it through and finish it. Therefore, I kept going!
The workouts started to seem easier, or maybe I was just getting stronger? I was able to do more reps, go deeper with squats, last longer, and do REAL push-ups. About a month in I started to notice that a few of my pants seemed looser! YAY! It was working!
Honestly, during month 2 I started to get a little BORED with the same workouts every week. I felt like I had them memorized. However, I stuck with it. I didn't necessarily see the changes, but I could feel them with how my clothes were fitting.
There were a couple close calls, but I didn't miss a workout! At the end of T25 Alpha, I am down 5.2 POUNDS and 5.5 INCHES!
Today is very exciting to see and celebrate how far I have come. It may not seem like much to some people, but to me completing these last 5 weeks is encouraging and gives me hope! Be sure to celebrate your successes BIG and SMALL! On Monday, I'm moving onto T25 Beta to keep pushing towards my goals!
SO PROUD of you! Thank you for sharing! :)
