Consistency!

Hi all! Sorry there was no post on Sunday - life got away from me a bit when my school asked me to help out for summer school on the fly. HOWEVER, I have stayed on track and just completed day 9 of my TurboFire reboot!! This also includes keeping in line with my running schedule as well, so there are days working out means two in one day!!!

I've really thought about this, and how I am staying on track with my workouts, and it is all about support. I have a great network of friends, but most importantly, my challenge group. One day I was messing around on instagram, and came across some interesting pics about a challenge group using the product I just purchased - 21 day fix. I had NO IDEA what this meant but I found Kari (my now coach) on Facebook, and she explained the process to me. It is an accountability group and a network of people with the same goals as you.

Kari is AMAZING in her groups, and she not only motivates you with daily prompts, pushes the group to interact by posting their food diaries and workouts, but hosts mini challenges with "points" attached to them. Now, you tell me I can EARN A PRIZE and I am IN! The more engaged you are, the more motivated you are to stick to plan!

As a result, I completed week 1 of TurboFire, and feel AWESOME! I do have my days - like today. I ran 2.45 miles, went to work, and came home in the afternoon. I had NO DESIRE to do a 40 minute workout. Did I do my best? Probably not. Did I still get up a sweat and finish the whole thing? YES I DID! Its that consistency that keeps me going!

My goals for the end of the week? Keep up with my workouts, and drink Shakeology EVERYDAY. Its about building on good habits till you've changed your lifestyle right? And if you are struggling with consistency, FIND A COACH AND GET INTO A CHALLENGE GROUP! I highly recommend mine! ;-)

So, I've dabbled in Beach Body programs since 21 day fix, and I haven't been able to fully stick to a program, or commit to my fitness for a number of EXCUSES. (Key word there!) However, after looking around the On Demand website, I came across TurboFire, and fell IN LOVE! I listen to Chalene's podcast, and have always found it inspirational, and did a few kickboxing classes at my gym that I really loved. This program put both that inspiration and love of cardio choreography and kickboxing together for me! 

I started off strong. REALLY strong. I did over 20 days in a row and was loving my workout and my programs! Then my sister's wedding hit. It was insane. My mom was essentially a wedding planner and I her PA. Note to all those brides to be - HIRE A WEDDING PLANNER. Life without one was crazy - no food, no sleep, and of course, no workouts. I've been back a week after the week in Vegas, and it is time to get serious. This time, I've opted for a reboot.

I just finished Day 1 again, and I was so afraid I would feel defeated and lose my motivation. But Chalene's infectious energy got me through it, and all I want to do is finish strong! I'm so excited to do this program right!!
