My T25 Alpha & Beta Journey!


A couple of people have asked me about my final T25 results, so I thought I would share them with you….Post Baby #2 and 10 weeks later, I couldn’t be happier with my T25 results! I’m down 10 pounds and 5 inches, which is smaller than I was before Simon! YAY!  

Weight loss is great and all, but I gained so much more by doing T25. I gained CONFIDENCE and HOPE that maybe I could have my body back. After I had Simon (baby #2) via emergency C-section, I thought that I would forever be grabbing the loose fitting shirts to hide my belly. Recovering from a c-section was WAY harder than recovering from natural childbirth, at least for me. It seemed like it was taking forever to get back to where I wanted to be. Not to mention, the weight didn't just fall off this time...thank you, T25!

I achieved the above results by doing T25 Alpha and Beta and drinking Shakeology everyday. I LOVED T25, but probably the time commitment more than anything. 25 minutes was very manageable to squeeze into my busy day and around the kids. I prefer to workout in the morning, but I found myself doing many of my workouts during naptime as well because I couldn’t seem to get out of bed…I'm not sure if it was sleep deprivation or because it was still pitch black when my alarm would go off. Ha!
 
What I liked about T25:
  • Daily time commitment of 25 minutes!
  • I got weekends off - only 5 workouts each week!
  • Shaun T - enough said!
  • Losing 10 pounds!
  • Rhythmic feeling of the workouts. I kind of felt like I was dancing at times, which I loved!
  • I really liked mixing in weights during Beta.
What I didn’t like about T25:
  • Length of program, 10 weeks. I started getting antsy to begin a new program around the 8 week mark (but I stuck with it).
  • I wanted more upper body work.
  • Lack of breaks – I know it’s only 25 minutes, but I LOVE getting short water breaks!

Would I do T25 again? ABSOLUTELY! I lost ALL of my baby weight with it. Plus, I have gained confidence and been extremely encouraged by my results. Although I have achieved my goal weight, I still have other fitness goals that I’m striving toward. Next up - toning and tightening (especially my belly) and increasing my flexibility.  I have to get this body ready for our cruise next month. Well, more like I want to be comfortable in my body so I can rock a new swimsuit! Project cruise here I come!
