Slow progress

I had my husband take pics of me this morning before I did Plyo Extreme. I compared them to my pics from a week ago. I was a little disheartened that I didn't see more of a change.

Then I reminded myself that it took a long time to get to where I am right now, and it's going to take a long time to get to where I want to be. As long as my nutrition is in check and I'm pushing myself in my workouts, I can't let myself get discouraged. I grabbed heavier weights this morning. Nothing can stop me!

Day 5 of 21DFX

Huge, huge NSV (non-scale victory) for me today.
Our church hosted family game/pizza night. I packed my OWN dinner according to my containers (leftover turkey lettuce tacos) and ate those instead of the pizza. I felt SO GOOD doing this. Also, there was a huge plate of cookies for dessert... Guess what I ate? FRUIT.

I'm not gonna lie, when I'm not on 21DF Extreme, I'll have a cookie or a slice of pizza. But I'm in the zone right now, and I'm committed to sticking to this program and seeing it all the way through!

Day 3 of 21DFX

Pilates=intense yoga, right?

Wrong!

I did the Pilates Fix Extreme workout today as part of my 21 Day Fix Extreme TV Test Group, and let me tell you, it was no joke! I used a 12 pound resistance band for most of the workout. Toward the end, I had to lose the band, but I've ordered an 8 pound one on Amazon so I can do the band the ENTIRE TIME next week.

Progress, not perfection, right?

Strong Women

What kind of person are you? I try to be a strong woman, but it's SO HARD sometimes. I guess it's in those hard times that it's most important, right?
