Yikes it has been a while since my last post!! June just completely got away from me but I will do my best to keep posting every couple of days going forward!
So what's new? I'll tell you what's new in my life. I started the 90 day terrafit challenge almost 2 weeks ago and am loving it! Now you probably haven't heard of terrafit because it is BRAND NEW!
TERRAfit is a unique program sweeping the country and getting people great results. Simply put, TERRAfit is 'The Biggest Loser' from home, a 90-day program that will get you moving, eating better, and progressing toward your fitness goals like never before. The best part is you get total accountability, coaching, daily challenges, and diet guidelines all for only $25! Participating in the challenge gives you a chance to win a sweepstakes style contest that rewards the top individuals and teams with thousands of dollars in cash prizes. You could actually make money while losing weight!
Now when I first heard about the 90 terrafit challenge, I was a little skeptical but definitely curious as I've been looking for something to help me drop some lbs and a chance to win money to do it...heck yeah! I looked up their website and while this is not a doTERRA program, they recommend following the program using essential oils and a couple of other doTERRA products as support.
You are put into teams of 5, you can pick your teammates or you can choose to be added to a random group. The idea is that you support your teammates in whatever their fitness goals are and they'll support you too. You have people who will help hold you accountable and encourage you to stay on track.
I was concerned about the healthy and unhealthy food lists I kept hearing about, I've done more diets than I can count and have always had issues with the meal plans so the first thing I did was find these "lists" I was so worried about. I had to laugh at myself as I started reading through them, not only is there a ton of variety of foods I can eat, its mostly food I am eating now. The unhealthy list was a little bit more difficult for me as I am addicted to sugars, pastas, breads mmmmm....not good!! This is something I need to do for myself and my family so I decided to give it a try and I signed up for the first ever 90 day terrafit challenge on June 23rd! Click

My initial weight-in was painful to do as I hadn't weighted myself in a while and am a tad embarrassed to admit that I've gained a few pounds since having my son. That's ok though because I AM CHANGING THAT! The first week was tough too, I cut all sugars out (with the exception of fruit), I was eating more veggies, I started counting calories, I was committed! I was most surprised with counting calories, I didn't realize how many calories I was eating every day, so cutting down to between 1200-1400 per day was a bit of a struggle for me!
On top of changing my diet, I had to force myself to stop making excuses and to follow through with everything I'd planned for this challenge. I wasn't able to follow along with the terrafit workout for most of the week, I ordered it a little late so I was waiting for it in the mail but I started walking! My back has been troubling me for a couple of months now so I really had to force myself to get moving.
I signed up for my first ever 5k, the color run and with the support of my good buddy Michelle, I got my walk on and got chalked up! My legs were killing me, my back not so great but the feeling I had once I'd finished was totally worth it..what a rush!!
As hard as my first week was on the challenge, my persistence paid off! I had my first weigh-in on Monday June 1st and I lost 4.6lbs!! I was expecting...hoping for maybe a 2-3 lbs weight loss so you can imagine how excited I was...am!
I have my next weigh-in this coming Monday and with all the hard work I've done this week, I'm hoping for another big weight loss number!!
