Results are in!! I really love that I took before photos, no, I didn't want to, but it helps in so many ways. Let me explain. First, I get to see (literally) where I really am at physically. I know it's hard to actually come "face to face" with the reality of your body and not the ideality, but you have to do it, we all do if we want to change. How can you get better if you don't know where you started?
Secondly, the accountability. When I take these pics, and especially show them to others, it spurs in me the desire to get my tail moving so that I can be proud of my progress and show others that they can do it too. No, I'm not completely comfortable in my skin all the time, but I know in order to help others achieve their goals I have to put myself out there and show them real results. You can't win the game without putting a little skin on the line, right?
Lastly, I can really SEE my results. The programs aren't all 21 days, some are 60, some 90. I know that they work, but I don't always "feel" it. It's good for me to see progress when the scale isn't saying so.
So here they are! I started this program Sept 22 and finished Nov 15. The program is 60 days and I'm not going to lie, I did not follow it to the T. They call for 2 sessions of 30 min workouts a day and I just didn't have it in me to do both. I did one session and then a 10 min ab workout (thru Beachbody on Demand). I'm so spoiled from 30 min or less workouts and by the time I nursed Lenora, attended to the other kids and then got her to sleep my time was really only 30 mins. She would be ready to eat as soon as I finished the workout. I'm sure I could've seen better results if I'd done the full hour, but I'm not going to beat myself up about it.
Typically with this workout you're supposed to take an up close and personal pic of your "boom boom". I'm not really about doing close up's there, so I think these will just have to do. :) I will say that I do feel more "lifted" and am VERY happy with that. ;)
I still have a way to go. I'd like to be back to my prepregnancy weight and I know it's going to take more time. I'm moving on to the CIZE workout with Shaun T, and so far I LOVE IT!!! I'm not sprinting to lose these last 20lbs but I'm determined to wear my clothes again! I hope anyone reading this is inspired to start, or finish their program. I hope you can join me in my next goal! Have a great day!

Way to go Mish!!! So inspiring to do what you can, especially with a newborn!!! You look great. So much tighter and wow your hips and thighs look great!! You are gorgeous all the time but I know you aren't done yet, if you never lose another pound you are gorgeous. I wish I had ONE ounce of rhythm because all the raves about Cize make me want to try it and it seems like it'd be a good gentler workout post baby??? Now how about a Lenora post????? :-) love you girl!!
