My T25 Experience So Far

Here I am, 4 days in to this T25 challenge.

And, I'm feeling good!

I'm a pretty open book.

(But you don't get before pictures though until I have rockin' after pictures to show as well.)

I started this challenge at 166lbs, a size 10, I'm 5'2" and a 38D (the picture above is from day 1).

Today, after 4 days of working hard and eating clean (including Shakeology for breakfast), I put on a pair of size 8 shorts and they fit great!

My energy is up.  I don't feel any crazy energy dips during the day.  I find that I'm happier and don't get stressed or discouraged as easily.  I have gotten completely ready the last two days (hair and makeup done, and dressed like a human instead of a frump).

I have been really sore.  Especially my thighs (no joke, they completely gave out on my yesterday and I fell on my bum while I was trying to do a squat).  But I'm doing my best to push through and do as much of the workout as I can - even if I have to do it "modified" or slower.

But, I know that this weekend and this next week will be really difficult for me.

Weekends are when I tend to cheat or slip up.  And tomorrow night we have a family birthday dinner celebration, so I'm a little nervous because I won't be the one cooking.  D and I have already decided to add an extra something on Saturday - a yoga class or a long walk.  And Sunday we'll stretch.

Next week, though, I'm afraid I'll start to make excuses.  I'm afraid that I'll say things like, "I'm too sore to workout" or "I'll do it later."  

I know I can do difficult things.

I know that I want and need to complete this program.

I want to be the best version of myself for J and for D.  And for me.

And J and D have been so supportive (this picture was taken after my workout today).

I guess I'm just afraid of my natural tendencies. 

What do you do to stay motivated?
