"Day One"--Lets. Do. This.

Hi! I'm glad you stopped by. Today is officially my Day One of my new lifestyle. I say new lifestyle because that's what it really is. A "diet" is temporary and most people eventually end up gaining all (or even more) of the weight they lost. If you want to make changes to your body and health, they have to be permanent.

Today I weighed myself and took my starting measurements.
Here they are:
Weight: 181.0
Neck: 13.75
Upper Left Arm: 12.25
Upper Right Arm: 12.5
Chest: 40
Diaphragm: 34
Waist: 32
Abdomen: 44.5
Upper Right Thigh: 26
Upper Left Thigh: 26
Left Calf:  14.5
Right Calf: 14.5
Upper Knee (right): 17
Upper Knee (left): 17


Obviously I am not exactly where I want to be with my body...so I know the journey won't be easy but it will be so worth it. I can't wait to see my results at my 30 day mark.

Today I did Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred Level 1. I had previewed it yesterday to see what the workout was like. It looked pretty easy so I knew I could do it. When I actually did it today, I felt challenged. It wasn't like overwhelming or impossible. It was a good feeling--a feeling like "yeah this is hard but I am able to push through". It was a 20 minute workout and I was sweating at the end. I think that it was an effective workout and something I can manage to do 6 days a week.



 I am planning on doing the 30 day shred 6 days a week until I reach 30 days. I plan on taking one day off a week--Thursdays.

 Today is also day one of the Isagenix 9-Day Deep Cleanse. Today is a "cleanse day". This means no eating any meals. I know it sounds unhealthy but it is a way to cleanse the body of toxins and impurities and prepare the body for good health. You can read more about the products here and also buy the products through the website. Read about the cleanse for life product HERE.

I am really excited for this journey to becoming fit, healthy & happy. Thanks for reading :)
