Flashback Friday!!!!!!

I wanted to share this with you all.  I run accountability groups and challenge groups and even FREE GROUPS!!!!  I get so much push-back when I tell my ladies in the group to do their pictures for the before and afters.  When looking through some pictures last night I ran across these two and made the post below.
This is WHY you do the Before and the After Pictures!!!!!!!!  We look at ourselves every day and we can very easily get frustrated because we don't see it.  BUT......when you put them next to each other....YOU CAN SEE IT!!!!!!  So if you are in a group and your Coach tells you to take the before pictures.....TAKE THE PICTURE!!!!!!


Flashback Friday!  😱😱😱😱
I was going across pictures and realized this was just like a year ago.  OH MY GOODNESS!!!!  I knew that we had made some changes and I knew things were different but had no idea just how much!  WOW!!!  Hard work is paying off and I am so excited to see what happens next!!!  Seeing pictures like this makes me want to work THAT much harder to just see how far I can go!!!!!
Tomorrow morning is time for the before and after pictures from just a 3 week program.  I am excited to see those!!!!!  Are you ready for a change?
Are you ready to see the difference in your pictures?
THIS is why I take pictures!  #sorrynotsorry #accountability

Transformation Thursday

Transformation Thursday! 

Yes, I realize it is Thursday and not Tuesday but I choose to be different.....haha

I am stepping completely out of my comfort zone!  I mean TOTALLY out of my comfort zone!  I have been doing Beachbody Programs and drinking Shakeology for a while but I have NEVER shared all of the before and after photos because I thought I would literally throw up or die if I did.  I totally over analyzed what others would think and if family would totally disown me.

Starting in December- I was struggling with what all we had going on.  We were your typical busy family.  We had more holiday parties and gatherings than you can imagine. We had people over.  We had parties for work. We had parties for church. We had family and friends and it was hard.  I'm NOT making excuses.  I'm just telling you where we were!!!!!  We had seen and talked a lot about making a drastic change come January.  I agreed.  I had also made the choice to jump into 22 Minute Hard Corps with Tony Horton.  I had done it before and was ready to jump in.  Hubby said he wanted to do Whole 30 so we JUMPED! (Picture January 2017)

We jumped big!  It was a blast.  We walked through Whole 30 and I was 60 days of 22 Minute Hard Corps. I was amazed at how much better I felt.  I was stunned when I finished 22 Minute Hard Corps and we had stuck with Whole 30 until the end of February.  I took the pictures and I was stunned!  WHAT IN THE WORLD!!!!!  I had only lost 7 pounds but OH MY GOODNESS!  I was totally PUMPED!  (Picture March 2017)

March, I had chosen to go back to one of my most FAVORITE!!!!!  Insanity Max 30!!!  Shaunt T can push you past any limit that you thought you had.  I had signed up for the Virginia Beach  Half Marathon in September.  I had to do this.  I couldn't stop!  I went on Facebook and Instagram and stayed very public and therefore there was no stopping and no excuses and no quitting!  I FINISHED AGAIN !!!!!! (This was my 4th round!!!)  (Picture MAY 2017)

May started a new Program.  P90X3!!!!  I love Tony Horton and his crazy humor but has me doing things I didn't know I could do.  Guess what?????? I'm not modifying so far!  That is NOT an option.  I
took my pictures and I have to confess.  I had a major amount of negative chatter!!!!!!!  I made a decision.  I HAD TO CHANGE THE CHANNEL!  I was telling myself......
"You finished Insanity Max 30! You finished 22 Minute Hard Corps! You did Whole 30! You signed up for a half marathon! You signed up for a 5K AND You have started training for a half marathon and now doing a round of P90X3 WITHOUT MODIFICATIONS!"
So, after changing the stat ion in my head and realizing that I AM CHANGING and I AM GOING TO ROCK MY RACE it only seemed fitting to share my journey since January 2017.  I can't wait to see what's going to happen from now until my race. If I can encourage one person, it was all worth it!!!!!
I hope you will consider joining me in my journey and we can do this together!!!!!  Just drop me an email at transformationcoachpam2013@gmail.com

 

Post H&C

SOOOOOO- I finished Hammer and Chisel.  I have to be honest.....it took me a while to process exactly what all I learned, what I can do now that I couldn't do before, what I would do different when I tackle it for Round 2.  So let's do this....
First-
What did I learn?  

• I had no upper arm strength.(I'm talking 5 pounds)
• Autumn and Sagi are AWESOME  Trainers! (21 Day Fix Trainer and Body Beast Trainer)
• I had no endurance when there was a weight in my hand
• I like to preview before actually doing the DVD/BOD that morning

What can I do now that I couldn't before?

• I started out with 5 pound weights and ended with 15 pound weights
• I can do more push ups
• I can do more arm work than I EVER thought possible
• I have balance
• I have agility
• I can do whatever I set my mind to.
• I have one body and it's up to me to take care of it
• I experienced Power Lifting Moves that I had never done and LOVED IT!
• I can wear a tank-top.

What will I do different next time?

• I would either get a bench or borrow one.
• I would be brave an PUSH harder
• I would also INVITE A LOT more people to join me because WOMEN CAN LIFT!!!!

This is a game-changer! If you want to increase your strength, lean up and get in the best shape of your life!!!!!  It was absolutely AWESOME!!!!  I'm looking forward to the next place I have 60 days to jump on and do it again!!!!!!!
