After 30 minutes of trying to get the formatting correct on my last post, and not being able to write anymore after the pictures, I figured I would just make a new post. Lol.
So Body Back truly was an amazing journey to go on. I learned so much about myself and my capabilities. I had no idea that I could actually lose weight if I put my mind to it. I have become such a stronger person and I am so happy with the changes I see in my body.
When I started Body Back I heard a lot of people say, "why do you need to do that, you are already skinny." Well now I am exposed in my before and after pictures... I really wasn't skinny. I was 20lbs heavier than after I gave birth to Aaron. I don't know what happened in those three years but I really was not proud of how I let my body go.
Every time I have tried to lose weight or workout, I would give up after a week or sooner. Body back proved to me that I have it in me to focus my mind and lose the weight, while changing eating habits. I really believe that I have made permanent changes in my family, as far as food... and that means more than losing any weight.
Spending these last 8 weeks with my sister has grown our relationship in a different way. We always push each other, but to push each other and see such incredible results is so amazing. I love that I have her in my life.
Every single one of those women in body back and changed my life. I will take something from every one of them, and I am so grateful that I met them. I hope we can keep in touch, and maybe I will see some of you at RIPPED.
Breanne, has been an incredible instructor. Better than I could have ever asked. She knows just when to push you to your hardest, and when to back off and just say something sweet. She is probably one of the nicest (sometimes psychotic when it comes to working out) people I have ever met. I would not be where I am at right now if it wasn't for her. I am thankful that I met her and I am positive that this session won't be the last time she will push me to the point of throwing up.
The last 8 weeks have been such a roller coaster. We have cried, almost thrown up, laughed, sweated (is that a word?) and encouraged each other... what better way to spend my summer??
Thank you to everyone who has supported me, including my amazing husband and son. I am thankful for everyone in my life. I could not be happier.
The journey does not stop here. I will be doing RIPPED twice a week and stroller strides twice a week until school starts. I want to try to lost at least 5 more lbs before going back. Natalie and I will be weighing in every week, as well as taking pictures and measurements at the end of these next 5 weeks.
Alright, I think I need to be done before I start balling!!! :)
Here are a couple more pics from Body Back!!

Such a beautiful way to start the morning.
