11.5 Weeks Progress

I was going to wait until 12 weeks down to post, but close enough. I promised myself I would share my blog once I made 6 posts- so here it is. The oldest post is on the bottom, from November 2013 to the newest right here, on top.  I've been learning a little something about self-doubt and what not… Even when I've been in the best shape, it was always never "good enough". I've always dealt with a lack of self-esteem and confidence issues since I can remember, but I'm trying to learn to love my body, no matter what form. To not be ashamed of where I am at. I've always been jealous of women with great confidence and that not giving a shit what people think of them attitude. I hope to get there one day. Self esteem issues can really hurt more than your relationship with yourself. 

I'm going to continue to post helpful things, and if I can help or inspire even one other person, I will be happy :)

I try to post the good stuff, and I just want to keep it real now. It's not always easy for me if that's the idea you have of my journey. If it were easy, I wouldn't of gained 60lbs during my pregnancy, or I would have lost it the first 3 months. I may not post the struggles, but that doesn't mean I don't go through them. I just like to keep it positive as much as possible because that's what's motivating.

So here is my progress so far:

1st photo: 1 week post partum

2nd photo: 5 months & 3 weeks PP 

(first photos I sent to my coach)

3rd photo: today, 8months & 2 weeks PP

(11.5 weeks down with my coach)

-50.6lbs 

I am #9weeksout and a half ;) Last post I said I would be "throwing in the towel" if I had to push my first show back to June, but I've honestly realized that it's OKAY if I have to, I'm not a failure if I have to, and I am damn proud of my hard work.

I have tons more work to put in, but slow and steady wins the race! And I'm here to win ;)

To be honest, finding motivation for the gym isn't hard for me. I love lifting, I love sweating, I love cardio and I love the burn and pump! It's my addiction. At least it's a healthy one :) Where I seem to struggle is the diet. I'll make a whole separate post on "clean eating" and "macros" some other time.
