Welcome to my fitness journey!

Hey! I am seriously so excited right now about so many different things! First off, I have ALWAYS wanted to make a blog but never had anything important to talk about. Now I have so many great and important things to talk about. Fitness and nutrition! I am excited to tell you about the fitness journey I am currently on and hopefully inspire some of you to get fit and stay fit for life.

I started my fitness journey last August by joining a local gym. I went off and on for a little while but then started going everyday for awhile. I always felt like I never knew what I was doing. I also went with friends and will admit I may have done more socializing than intense working out. I researched workouts online all the time but just felt like I wasn't doing them right or they weren't doing what I wanted. My fitness goals were not to lose weight but to tone up and be fit and to learn how to incorporate exercise into every day. Can I just say how much of a pet peeve it is when I mention working out and people reply with "you don't need to work out, you are skinny enough." That could not be more false. I DO need to work out as well as eat clean and eat correctly.

I had heard about Beachbody only a handful of times and mostly because of my cousin, Amanda, who is my coach. I had looked into all of the packages that included the workout DVD's and Shakeology and my initial thought was that they were wayyyy too expensive. Without doing much research, I just did not think that there was any way those package deals could be worth the money. Boy was I wrong!

I had really been going back and forth about ordering one of them because I really loved the idea of doing my workouts at home instead of going to the local gym. I somehow ended up talking to a girl at church who had just recently ordered the T25 package that came with the Shakeology. Getting to talk with more than one person first hand that was happy with Shakeology and their Beachbody workout program made me decide to go ahead and order The 21 Day Fix.

I have been doing The 21 Day Fix since February and I am absolutely in love with it. It comes with containers to teach you about portion size and basically does all of the work for you when it comes to figuring out what to eat and how much. I have noticed too since starting this program and starting Shakeology that I have so much more energy! Before I started working out, I had terrible posture to be so young and awful back pain pretty much constantly. Since starting this program, my posture has improved tremendously and my back seems much stronger so less back pain! Of course, I am much stronger all over and can see toning going on in my stomach and butt.

I am currently doing a challenge group for The 21 Day Fix and I love it so much that I decided to become a Beachbody coach (yayyy!). I am on day 13! I will post before and after pictures when I am done and keep you all updated on my progress. I am hoping to eventually do all of the Beachbody programs and I hope you will look into Beachbody and Shakeology too!

Love,
Jessica
