Let's just say.. I'm Bringing Sexy Back!

So if you follow me on Facebook or Instagram you might have noticed that I have gain some weight that I wasn't planning on gaining after I stopped breastfeeding Walker. I have been trying to get the weight off but hasn't exactly been successful. I have tried diets, exercising by myself, walking with friends, going to the gym early morning with a friend and really anything you could think of that doesn't cost a lot of money. I was really down on myself because I couldn't get this weight off. I wasn't really in a good place either. I really wanted to get out of this runt I was in.

So one day I was talking to my friend, Diana and she said she had the same problem. She suggested that we should workout together and do Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred. We thought that we can work out together and check up on each other each day so we can motivate each other to work out and get back into shape. Let me tell you, Jillian isn't joking around. She is hard. I sometimes really do feel like I am going to die after I work out. But it is good! When I skip on working out, those days I am tired and don't want to do much. But the days I do workout I have more energy and feels better.

We decided that we wanted to do this 30 Day Shred in three months, one level each month. At the beginning of the month it is hard to get through the 30 minutes video without stopping but by the end of the month I can do most of it without stopping. It is still hard but feels good. Jillian really knows how to push someone to keep on moving and doing the workout video (that is why she is on the biggest loser as a trainer).

I didn't think that this was going to work or I wasn't going to be able to stick to it. But it really has helped me. It also has showed me that I don't have to spend tons of money to get results. I am still not to what I want to be but I am feel more confident about myself and also how I look in my clothes.

You can't really tell but in the left I weighed about 145 and now I weigh between 135-137. It is slow progress but is progress. I know that I am not going to drop the weight in a blink of an eye. It is going to take some work. And I am still don't have a flat stomach or no pooch or love handles but I am working at it and really getting ready to BRING SEXY BACK!!
