30 Days ago!

The me in black on the left or the bottom is day one. March 27th, 2017. I was stuck and felt like a rat on a wheel. I was going no where fast. Enter Coach Tulin and her methods and that is the pic on the right or the top. In that first 30 days well program wise 28 days, I lost 9 pounds and 29 inches overall.

 This was not easy nor was it done with the results being a focus on the weight loss. See due to my coaching and working through this process I have went through a change. I am not the same person I was 30 days ago. I am not wanting to ever go back to being that person.
















But behind these pictures there is another story. This is an honest look at a disease that they tell you,

1. You need medications to remain mobile.
2. You may never lose the weight.
3. You may never be able to do a strenuous exercise program.
4. You will always be in extreme pain...

This is not the case:

1. I am off all meds except vitamins and oils. There is limited use of even OTC pain relief aids.
2. I lost 9 pounds in 28 days...I know when I incorporate nutrition, that number will change. 
3. I did a Shaun T workout 6 days a week 20-35 mins a day...yes I modified a few moves, but I was committed to my time with him!
4. I still have pain, but it is manageable livable pain levels that have given me freedom  from being stuck on the couch! 

I am wearing clothes and doing things I never thought possible! When I started in October of 2012...wow almost 5 years ago, where I am now was just were I wanted to get to. Then in August of 2015 when I said enough is enough...again here was the goal. Just down to around 300 pounds and able to play and do things with my kiddo. To wear a 2x and a 22, a tankie, and shorts and tanks on hot days...welllll.....

THIS IS NOT ENOUGH!!!! I am not willing to maintain, I want to go further and I want to see what 250 feels like! I don't think in my adult life I have ever seen 250 on the scale unless it was going past it. So on Monday I embark on 30 days of Country heat. No partial workouts to adjust to it, full workouts. 30-35 mins a morning to make it work. I also dive into the next stage of coaching and content from Coach Tulin. Sending that e-mail was the game changer.

NOW I WANT TO PAUSE HERE......

I am grateful for the coaching, support, and content. But I also know, she did not do the actual work for me. I also love my online support from the blog, friends, and family....I also love my Fitfam I gained working with Coach Tulin. All of which would not have been possible nor plausible had I not done one thing back in April of 2015.....When I reconnected with God and had my own personal come to Jesus meeting with myself His plan was set into motion. I joined OA, I used my oils, I slowly started walking and moving. I slowly started putting myself into a position to make 2016 a huge year with moves towards where I am now. What I mean is I laid it down and gave it up to God to how this was going to happen. I have said it before...He laid the path, provided the tools, and I did the work.

I am hoping to get back to a regular posting schedule now as I am slowly getting through a few mind issues. Been dealing with some issues mentally that have had me slightly off center everywhere but in my fitness...which is weird, but such is life! Off I run to get in some steps and knock out some school work! Till next time keep fighting onward!
