Ending the first week

As I am ending the first week of my 2 week challenge I am pumped and already looking forward to my next one.  It's so exciting to see others getting involved and sharing their journey with each other.  Not only are they keeping themselves accountable, but it helps me stay on track and they are keeping me accountable.  I feel like it's my job as a coach to be up before everyone and posting that post that they will for see first in the morning.  Their coach got up and worked out already and that I hope is inspiring.

This next challenge will be on my own.  As in my coach won't be there to guide me through, I'll be leading it myself.  Along side my new coach that I signed on earlier this week.  I already see my team forming and it's encouraging me to work harder and reach more people.

I'm currently doing 21 Day Fix and loving it!  It's 30 minute workouts that I knock out easy before work each day.  It is 7 days a week, but that's simple to do at just 30 minutes a pop.  I am also following the meal plan, which uses the containers I talked about in a prior blog entry.  LOVE IT! It's so doable to fill these containers each day and just eat that food.  Of course, there is a food list for each food group.  But, I know you can find something you like.  It's all about eating clean and your body will LOVE you for it.  I even stuck to my meal plan on Thanksgiving.  Of course I may have stretched what actually was allowed (like cornbread stuffing) , but I did not over eat and I was still able to enjoy Thanksgiving and not have to miss out.  I even lost a pound over this week! I don't think I have ever been able to say that.

I've even been going out on a limb and cooking new recipes all from the Beachbody blog site.  They have HUNDREDS of recipes and all I have to do is type in say "Salmon" and recipes for different salmon dishes come up.  I have even made cookies that fit into the clean eating plan.  And they were good! Hit the spot for my sweet tooth.  These recipes even tell you the portions for the container system, which is a BONUS!

There is absolutely NO EXCUSE to not do these programs to get in shape for the new year.  I am well on my way and I hope to inspire others to join me on this amazing life changing journey!

As the year mark inches closer I find myself thinking about the night that I went to the hospital. I find myself thinking about the moment she was born. I find myself thinking about the moment the doctors told me there was no hope. I remember when my OB told me that she was coming and I just looked at my husband who was just looking back at me. I was totally frozen. I don't know if I was in shock or if it was from the pain medication that was flowing through my system. All I knew, was that it was too soon. I remember them telling me that she was measuring smaller than what they originally thought she was. They told us that we had a choice. A choice to hold our daughter while she left this world or they could transfer her an hour away to another hospital. But, they did not believe she would survive the ambulance ride. I was frozen. We sent her an hour away. My husband went along and I stayed admitted into the hospital. Somebody who is reading this right now is probably thinking, ...

Warning...this could get messy

So, this is pretty much a rant and I apologize ahead of time for this, but sometimes you just have to get it off your chest. There is a girl at work that every time I mention about something aching or happening to me that I link to my pregnancy she insists that it's not related to my pregnancy. What the heck? She has no idea what is going on with my body! I'll just give an example from this morning. When I woke up my side hut, my lower side. So, when she asked me what was wrong today I told her my side hurt. She's like "from what?" and I said, "probably from me getting fatter". Now, before I tell you what she said, let me back up my theory of why I thought this was the reason for my side hurting. I read on one of my MANY pregnancy info sites that one of the symptoms I could be having is my side hurting from stretching, growing, ya know. Well, she says "I highly doubt that." I could understand if this girl that I work with has never been pregnan...
