Team Beachbody ¡preestreno!Español Guest

Wow!  Today is Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving.  And I woke up and took my measurements.

I have actually lost a couple of pounds and inches!  In fact, I have lost more inches than pounds.

It has been 17 days since starting Slim In 6.  And I have to be very honest, I have not exercised 6 days out of each week.  My tweenager is testing her boundaries and as a single Mom, motherhood can take its toll.  But in the end, she has made mistakes and learned from them.  Also, our bond is much tighter.  I guess you have to go through things to really appreciate what you have.  And she really appreciates what I have worked hard to provide for her.

Her issue had taken me about 4 days of my life.  Although I did not workout, I was still working on some form of the BeachBody plan.  I drank my one Shakeology shake each day.  It is like a treat for me.  And I still drank water and took vitamins. 

I am planning my first BeachBody event and so everywhere I went, people asked me about BeachBody.   Since I had run my mouth when I first started BeachBody to everybody I know, I could not escape it!  I am thankful for that. 

My BeachBody coach sent me a workout request.  And another lady in the forums wrote me and encouraged me to not dwell in my pity party.  I really needed that. 

Also, I think the best thing that happened is that I received a large white envelope in the mail from BeachBody.  I opened it and it was a personal letter from Carl and it included my BeachBody Coach's pin!

For Thanksgiving, we decided to stay home and work and relax.  I fixed my own version of Thanksgiving dinner.  We had chicken breast with a light bbq glaize.  I fixed collard greens without any pork fat.  We had green onions, corn muffins with benefiber added, and cranberry sauce.  For dessert, we drank a Shakeology shake and fat free hot chocolate as a late night snack.

My daughter and I got in front of our TV and worked out for an hour to P90X's core synergery.  Neither of us wanted to do it.  But when we finished, we felt so accomplished.

So to wake up today and see that I have lost inches is awesome!
