So... I have a confession. What i am about to do is terrifying. I have been, essentially, hiding from the world ever since i had my first child because of how i felt about myself. A lot of people told me i looked good for having 2 children, but i didnt FEEL good. Because of how i looked i have been battling depression and I realized it was getting in the way of me taking care of my children, and my relationship with my husband was getting strained. So this is me committing. I have to make myself accountable to more than just me to get my butt in gear everyday no matter how tired i am. So here goes. My husband and i have started INSANITY, we got tested for our body fat % in the BOD POD, and we have changed our diet. The last thing to do is... post pictures. YIKES! I decided that i would take pictures everyday, because i want to see my progress. I took my day 1 pictures with a camera, and now it wont let me upload the pictures, so here are the pictures from yesterday, my Day 2.
Day 2 Pictures: Post workout
I think i am most embarrassed about my back. I hate, hate, hate my love handles and i got them up... the... wazoo!! (And yes, my workout shorts are my gym shorts from middle school... dont judge. hehe )
Well here is to progressing, and bettering ones self. I have been reading a lot of books lately - and one thing i have taken away from them is WORK HARD EVERY DAY, BECAUSE IF YOU ARE NOT PROGRESSING THEN YOU ARE REGRESSING. THERE IS NO MIDDLE GROUND.
Have a good day everyone! Remember to be the best you, if not for yourself, for your loved ones.
Good for you, Lauren! I'm trying to trim down too, and I admire your commitment. I also wish I still had my middle school gym shorts.
