My PIYO review and results


Well I'm not sure where to start really. I truly loved this program I did not think I could love anything more than turbo fire and this has to be very close to my soul workout :-). What an amazing experience, my body has change in so many ways. I am stronger mentally and physically. I am seeing some serious definition in my arms and in my legs and my core seems tighter as well. I do believe if I would have been more strict with my nutrition I would have seen a whole different change in my core! I did follow her meal plan for 2 weeks to see how it was and it was making but honestly I just wanted to go back to my eating clean and not measuring anything. 

Lots of people asked me do you think PIYO is really going to work???? I say YES!!! It's whole new way to work your body without any weights and without any high impact and if you know me you know my feet have thanked me for the last 8/9 weeks :-). I couldn't believe how sweaty I was I was literally dripping on my mat during some of the workouts and um hello no high impact.... WHAT! Chalene is an amazing trainer and she knows what she is doing. 

I loved seeing pictures I would take during the workouts because each week I was literally seeing a change  in some part of my body. I really noticed a change in my arms it was crazy. I was thankful it was tank top season because boy was I a proud mama to be able to wear a tank top and be comfortable with how my arms looked! 

So here they are.... Here are my results for my first round of PIYO I lost about 2 pant sizes (from a loose 14 tight 12 to a comfortable 10 tight 8) and I went down 1 shirt size. I lost 6lbs and 12" overall AMAZING! I can not wait to continue on, next up for me..... A hybrid workout with Turbo Fire and PIYO :-)

Finding Your Why

So let's talk about Your Why! 

This topic is so important because it is going to be something so very important. This thing, this why is what is going to drive you to reach your goals and your dreams. You might think you know what it is but I am going to challenge you to dig a little deeper! 

I remember when I first started out I sat with my coach and we started talking about why I wanted to loss weight and stuff and why I wanted to coach. I said "I need to get healthy" she said "well that's a great start but dig deeper, why do you want to get healthy?" 
I had to stop and think, I couldn't respond right away I wanted to get this question right! 
She said " it needs to be attached to something emotional, something so deep that every time you think of it it's going to push you, it's going to deter you from the bad choices and help you make the right ones!" 
Well finally I got it right and do you know how I know I got it right??? EVERYTIME I think of it or talk about it I cry! I cry because I know when I reach those goals it's going to be so amazing and so freeing and so well .... just amazing!!!! I am crying just writing this post! 

My why is this:
I want to be the happiest, healthiest momma around. I want my kids to see what it is like to be living a healthy lifestyle and make those same choices for themselves. I want to run around with them and be an active mom, not just sit on the couch. I want to be the best wife possible who has her confidence back. Who is ready to explore the world if you must with my husband. (They say a happy wife happy life right) I also want to really be able to help my family financially and take some of the burden off my hard working husband who works his butt off so I can be home with the kids. I want to be able to have stress free vacations, fun Fridays with the kids and not worry about where the money is coming from! 

 
   

I want that for you too. I want you to figure out YOUR WHY and start working towards your goals you have. Talk to me let's determine your why and let's get moving! 

I hope you all have a wonderful day today!!!
