Day 7 of my Shred

Okay so I've made it to day 7 and let me tell you, it's not easy. It's a daily fight to get myself to do it but I know after I'm done I feel so much better and I know if I do it that I will see results rather then not doing it. I have to tell myself, "It's only 20 minutes long, then I can shower and have a healthy lunch". 

The first couple days of doing the 30 day shred I really didn't sweat much even though I was grunting and screaming it out, now I am dripping sweat when I'm done. The amazing thing to me is that it's ONLY 20 minutes and yet I feel like I'm going to DIE! 

There hasn't been much of a weight loss yet but to be honest I don't expect one already. There is a huge change in my energy and my confidence though. I have so many sources of motivation and I hope to someday be motivation for someone else who is in my shoes. 

I can't tell you all of the excuses I would tell myself as to why I'm not losing weight or that I can't. One big one is because of having 2 c-sections. I kept telling myself that no matter what I'm always going to have a pooch belly. That still may be true but it's definitely helping me try my hardest not to have one. I came across a girl on InstaGram who had a c-section and she has a FLAT belly and you can't even tell she had a baby. Now I understand no two people have the same body type but just knowing she can do it is a huge motivation for me. She does Crossfit which is the same thing I used to do but we called it Caveman but that was 4 years ago. I would LOVE to do that again however it's not cheap (we did it for free in a high school gym). That's not going to stop me from pushing myself with what I do; have to get me back in shape. 

I've been meaning to go to the store to get a measuring tape so I can measure my waist, belly, arms, etc... so I can see what the difference is in 30 days and even 60 days. I'm really hoping and praying that after 30 days I see some type of change, especially after 60 days. I plan on NOT stopping once my 60 days is up especially the change in my eating. I'm loving my salads and fresh fruit everyday. Don't worry, that's not all I'm eating. I'm still eating the same (minus the dairy) except I limit myself and watch my portions. 

Okay....well I'll update in another week and hope to have some good news :)
