Some of my friends have been
telling me that progress photos, rather than just before and after photos, are
much more motivating to them. So, here I am posting my Day 60 photos.
I really enjoy taking these
progress photos, because between day 45 and day 60 it would be difficult for me
to tell by myself if I had any progress. Since I have these photos I am able to
tell I have made some progress! I mainly notice the difference in my waist and
thighs. It’s not a huge change, but remember from day 45 to 60 it is only two
weeks and a day! So seeing any progress in that amount of time is amazing in my
book!
Successes:
Crane pose! I can finally do
the crane pose from Yoga X for more than five seconds! This is a huge
improvement for me, because when I first saw that pose I was like “umm yeah no
way.”
For those of you not familiar with crane pose here is a picture of Tony Horton showing how it is done!
Weight loss!: I honestly
didn’t think this would be very possible for me, because I have been on that “last
five pounds” forever. I wasn’t too concerned about what the scale said, because
I know muscle weighs more than fat so I have been more motivated by my progress
photos than anything. But still it has been pretty awesome to take a couple of
pounds away from those “last five”. The weight loss finally started to happen
after I started drinking Shakeology so I really think that helped. Of course
the exercise helped too, but I have really been snacking much less now, because
Shakeology is giving me the nutrients my body needs. So, I don’t crave filler
food as much anymore.
How I plan to improve:
Bring on the intensity: around day 50 I realized that my body was getting
used to certain exercises. Since then I have been trying to increase the intensity
of those exercises, by jumping further, lifting more…. Also, I finally got a
yoga mat and a pull up bar which has really helped me increase the intensity of
these workouts.
My diet: I know, I know… I
will probably say this forever. Since I have started this my diet has improved
by drinking Shakeology once a day but I know I am still eating a bunch of
processed foods that aren’t good for me. I have just been struggling with my
diet because I have been getting results that I am happy with without changing
my diet much. (I know my diet is improved with Shakeology but that was so easy
to do it didn’t feel like much of a change). I have been consciously adding
more vegetables to my meals so there has also been improvement there. I just
really think I would be seeing even better results if I did a complete reboot of
my diet.
