ChaLEAN Extreme Whoops

Hey guys!  So...I have some confessions to make.  My 90 Day ChaLEAN Extreme results kinda stink.  I've been working out now for over a year and a half and of course I knew things were going to slow down!  I'd already lost 50 lbs in a year *woot woot* so I knew this was coming.  Still, it's hard to admit that I didn't do as well as I'd planned.  

But here's the whole story...because we all know not everyone plateaus right away, right?  (Did you watch The Biggest Loser this season, HELLOOOO, Danni Allen?!  How awesome is she??)  Anyway, I was using my past success as an EXCUSE.  

Do you use excuses?  (I don't have time, I don't need to workout I'm already skinny, I don't have the resources, I've been busy, traveling...etc).  Well, I was using the fact that I was still working out and still eating reasonably healthy, to slip back into some old bad habits.  I felt like Little Miss Whoops.

Traveling and being busy were some other excuses I frequently found myself using the last two months.  I had several trips that had me driving 12 hours a weekend, working a TON in between and I was generally just *SPENT* (at least that's what I was telling myself) when I was home.

So, my workouts slipped a little.  My eating slipped (I felt like an alcoholic with a 1 year chip when I bought that **** whopper, it had literally been a year since I'd had that kinda junk).  My confidence plummeted, my weight spiked (didn't matter that I was still working out), my energy level dropped...I FORGOT TO PACK MY SHAKEOLOGY for my trips (what was I thinking!!!!).  And suddenly the girl in the mirror reminded me an AWFUL lot of that girl I swore I'd never become again.

I even stopped weighing & measuring myself.  Yep.  Actually didn't step on a scale or pull out a tape measure --this was a big sign that I wasn't putting in the WORK.

What's the moral?  I wasn't committed.  I was going through the motions, I was making excuses, and my results paid the price.  Which bums me ouuttt.  

BUT, this isn't going to stop me--heck no!  This is going to fuel me to push even harder from this point on!  Success isn't a one way street, it's a MESSY JUNGLE!  It's not a one time deal, nope!  It's a continuous journey.  Well buckle up my friends, this gal is now COMMITTED and SERIOUS about where she wants to go!

The good news...is that already with just a week to turn things around, I can PROMISE YOU I've made HUGE STRIDES to getting back on track!  I cannot wait to share with you where I'm at today and where I'd headed!  Always remember.  You can have results, or excuses, but not both. Lesson learned.  =)  Now, it's time to get some dang results!  ;)
