Get ready... Get set

The last month has been so unreal.. the good, the bad and the ugly. I've experienced moments of great joy and great despair (a bit dramatic perhaps, meh that's alright.)

Let's focus on what has gone right. I have been doing a weekly workout with a friend whose mindset has completely changed and I'm so proud of her.  I held my first solo challenge group built around exercise and not just clean eating. It started as a huge group and unfortunately we had some people quit along the way, but it's ok. I wouldn't want anybody to do anything they weren't ready for. There were some amazing women in this group who were committed, consistent and super motivating. I asked yesterday that they share some successes with the group and they could be scale or non-scale victories. Some amazing things are happening and I'm not sure how much they realize it.

I am getting ready for 2 new challenge groups to start tomorrow. I have a free butt and gut challenge for 30 days and then our 21 day fix group as well. I am excited. These groups will have some of the same ladies that are finishing up the ab challenge and both groups are going to be fun and fierce.

I personally am going to be starting the 21 day fix extreme. I have to finish up Insanity Max 30 this week as I do preseason for 21 dfx and start really dialing in on nutrition. I will have two different meal plans to choose from with this program and I need to look them over first, but I'm hoping to see for myself that I can pull of the most extreme version.

I am planning on doing some meal shopping with some of the people in the 21 day fix group as they get started on their journey. I by no means am an expert, but having done the program I will be a great tool. This is one of the things I LOVE about being a coach. I don't have to be perfect, I get to be me and share what I do know and help lead my challengers through their own journey. I learn and I grow every day. I will never have to be perfect or know everything about fitness or nutrition. I just get to enjoy my own personal journey and make as many mistakes as will happen along the way and share that journey to inspire others. No perfect but inspiration. Ah, life is good.

Other great things.... I have gotten to spend so much time playing with Lily. She is so imaginative and fun. We've played ponies, kitchen, monster high, games, adventure parks and so much more. I get more tired now than I ever did in the workforce lol. It's so nice to be there for her for everything. Getting her ready in the morning AND putting her to bed at night. I don't mean to brag because I know so many mothers and fathers who wish they could do this. It hasn't been without it's challenge though, and we now face the most difficult challenge we have encountered as a family. But with prayer, a positive attitude, support and perseverance we will get through this. At least we are all together and we are healthy and happy.

Also, my home has never been cleaner. This is a big thing, more deep cleaning and it just makes me feel better. I can't explain it, but this is a big win for me!

So, good things happening, struggles too but it's all about perspective. I am focusing on making the most of what I have and what I can. I am beyond excited about challenge groups starting tomorrow and starting a new workout program. 21 day fix extreme is the newest version of the 21 day fix which is what really changed everything for me. 4 different programs and it was the one that really stuck for me and I love it! I can't wait to see how the new one works....

EEEK. Now, let's get ready, get set, get EXTREME!!!
