I have and it's definitely not the way I envisioned living my life. Waking up every day wishing, hoping, and dreaming to no longer feel unhappy and unmotivated. Feeling so disappointed in how much I had "let myself go."
You can't really tell, but I was absolutely miserable in the picture on the left. I was so depressed with how much progress I had "undone" since starting my journey in 2011 and how I had "let life get in the way." I wasn't working out every day or drinking Shakeology every day and just felt completely defeated.
I let my excuses get the best of me...most of them included exhaustion and how I was "too busy." I had the same 24 hours a day as everyone else...and yet it always seemed that I "never had the time" to workout, make healthier choices, or even commit myself to drinking my Shakeology daily.
I fell "victim" to the excuses I now hear the most as a Coach.
Honestly, I've been avoiding to create a side-by-side comparison of myself from last year to this year...and that's because I feared that I would look exactly the same.
But how? I've been working out regularly (I had my moments where I fell off the wagon) BUT, I have drank Shakeology every single day since the day we returned from Summit (July 20th)...3 whole months...and I have NOT missed ONE single day.
The proof is in the pictures (same exact shirts) and in my clothes too...but since I see myself every day...it's hard to always tell. Thank God, I convinced myself to take a picture last year...even when I didn't want to!
Because honestly...I did NOT expect to see this HUGE difference from just 1 whole year...and the scale has BARELY budged!
Truthfully, since battling with thyroid issues...it has sucked a lot of confidence and spirit out of me. I feared that I would be "stuck" feeling unhappy, miserable, and unsatisfied with how I feel and look in my own skin. I also feared that I wouldn't be able to lose any weight or that my clothes wouldn't feel looser on me. It's definitely been a challenge...but one that I now know...I am equipped and strong enough to face!
Hypothyroidism, you SUCK....but YOU will NOT keep me down! I've got major goals for 2016...and one of them is to wear a bikini for my 1st time ever for our cruise we have been blessed with the opportunity to go on!
