The Results Are In

Week three has hit the Corbin household. We have had cheat meals. We have postponed workouts. We have even snuck what one would consider to be "unclean" food into our diet. (Well, I have. Long story short-there were brownies in our house...and now there are not). The thing is, James and I aren't perfect, especially with starting a whole new lifestyle. We are learning and trying our best together and we aren't going to give up.

Like I said, we are three weeks into our P90 program and clean eating and it's working incredibly well...for James. He has dropped a whole pant size, he is on the last loop of his belt (which is loose) and he has lost 15 pounds. Seriously. And he has been on the road traveling! I, on the other hand, have lost...drum-roll please...2 pounds. And it is not because of the brownies I snuck. Am I going to throw the towel in? Am I going to go binge eating everything I am not suppose to eat? Am I going to skip workouts and sulk around watching netflix non-stop? Although those sound appealing, I am not for two reasons.

1) I did not expect to lose weight starting Beachbody. What?!? I paid money for a program, I am promoting this awesome product and wanting others to try it, but I am not expecting to lose weight? So what's the point? I joined because I was tired of having no energy. I was tired of not fitting in my clothes. I was just tired. I wanted a better lifestyle. I wanted to be healthier for my family and for myself. I wanted to be an encouragement to those who would listen. And so far, I feel better, my pre-pregnancy clothes are fitting, and I surprisingly have more energy to be a mom and wife. So even though only losing two pounds might be disappointing to some, it is encouraging for me that I am being consistent and I will remain consistent.

2) I have an accountability partner and I have a support group. My husband has been my own personal coach along this journey. He keeps me balanced and pushes me to reach my goals. When we are exercising and I am half way engaged in an exercise, he is there gently saying, "Come on babe, you got this". (Sometimes he is not so gentle when I am being a bit of stinker with eating right and working out, which I need!) He cares and has partnered with me in changing our life. I also am in a challenge group that has given me so much support and encouragement. With Beachbody, they encourage you to find a challenge group in order to succeed with their products. The group I am in right now and even leading has given me so many great tips and provided encouragement went I felt like throwing in that towel or disappointed in myself.

So 15 pounds verses two. Those are the results as of week three and, honestly...I couldn't be happier.

There's a tid-bit for you.
