~Long Vulnerable Post Ahead~
I just want to take a second to share this photo with you. I bet you're wondering why this is a vulnerable photo for me? It shouldn't be, right? I'm wearing my wedding dress and should feel beautiful!
Well, let's talk about the photo on the Left. That was taken in October of 2014. That was the day I put on my wedding dress for the first time. It was gorgeous! ...It was also a size 12.
Now they say wedding dresses run 1-2 sizes large. But I did not like how it felt to be 6 sizes larger than I had been only a year prior. How horrifying! I hated looking at that picture. I loved my dress, but I would cringe every time I looked at that picture. I hated how I felt about myself when I looked at that picture. I'm supposed to feel beautiful in my wedding dress, not embarrassed.
VULNERABLE ACHIEVED!
It was then I knew I had to make a change. It was then I started my Beachbody journey with p90 by Tony Horton. I didn't change overnight. Actually, I fell off the wagon more times than I can tell you! I had a tracker for my weigh-ins and measurements that kept having a new "Start Over" label at the top, not a "Progress" label for months.
It wasn't until I decided to take my lifestyle more seriously and become a Beachbody Coach to keep myself accountable that I really saw my fitness and healthy lifestyle skyrocket! After the first 21 days of my program, I slowly started to see results. Not great results, a couple pounds here and there, but that was it. But thanks to the new accountability I had, I stuck to it this time. I kept myself going and accountable. Once I did that, and started my second and THIRD round of 21 days the results really start rolling in!! It felt incredible!! fall wedding dresses
Now lets talk about the photo on the Right. That was taken at my wedding last year. That gorgeous wedding dress, the same one I tried on as a size 12, had to be taken in and altered more than 4 inches... That dress had to be taken from a size 12, to a size 6 (or something like that in wedding dress terms)!!
But more than the size of the dress, that photo on the Right portrays a woman who is so SUPER proud of the progress she's made, a woman who FEELS incredible, a woman who is STRONG and POWERFUL, a woman who is GLOWING, and a woman who is just that.... A GORGEOUS, STRONG, PROUD, POWERFUL, GLOWING woman.
You may laugh at my silly workout posts, or you may have excuses as to why you can't commit to a program or that you don't have any money to start, but let me tell you one thing -- if all it takes is 30 minutes a day, one super easy superfood shake, the proper nutrition which is practically laid out for you, and a group of other people keep you accountable to your goals to make ANYONE feel THIS GOOD about themselves, WHAT IS STOPPING YOU FROM DOING IT TOO?
