Team Beachbody ¡preestreno!Español Guest

Well, I've become a Beachbody coach and I'm also ready to get moving again, beginning on Monday with ChaLEAN Extreme. This will be my second round since trying it in 2009. I was very successful with it then and hope to be even more successful this time around. I've also tried my first Shakeology shake and was very impressed at how it made me feel and how full I felt afterwards. I felt so energetic that I did the 30 minute Shakeology workout. Looking forward to my WI tomorrow and then pushing play on Monday!

As I look back at my old entries and what I have accomplished so far, I can say that I am very happy with what I have done so far. For about 2 years, I couldn't even move, bend, let alone exercise because of a bulging disc. I still have to be very careful, but I have managed to alleviate that pinched nerve by acupunture and then slowly incorporating exercise and weight loss. I have managed to maintain my 18 lbs. weight loss until these past couple of months, gaining about 10 lbs. back, but I guess that's pretty good considering the time period. Well, today is a new year and a new day and I'm going to move forward again, setting up small goals to reach. My first goal will be to lose 10% of my total weight. Little baby steps. Mind you, I am first going to lose those 10 lbs. first to go back to my original 10% goal of 18 lbs. I have 10 lbs. to go to achieve my original weight loss from 2 years ago. Then I can go back and do 10% of my new weight. I am also going to track my food intake and really watch my food portions. That has been a big problem with me. I have my scale ready to go for when I have to weigh my portions out. I've been writing down everything I eat too, a hard thing for me to do.

Here's to 2011 and moving forward . . .
