"The “before” photo on the left was taken on June 14, 2020. Besides not liking the way I looked physically, there was so much more to it than that. I was also feeling fatigued constantly, lazy, unmotivated. Other than the short amount of time it took me to workout and maybe go for a walk, since I was teaching from home I was sedentary most of the day. I had no strength or stamina which made me miserable through the workouts I was doing. I found it also spilled into other areas of my life - my house was unorganized (and had no desire to GET organized) I felt like I had no control over things, I was irritable and grumpy often, I needed a nap in the middle of the day, and even though I spent most of the day inactive, I couldn’t wait to go bed at night because I was so tired. And then once I went to bed I couldn’t sleep. Repeat.
Back to the physical, looking at the before photo I feel like you’d never know I had been working out on my own consistently for years. (And for me that meant waking up at 3:45 am to get it in each day!) I was working my butt off but felt like I had nothing to show for it. Even though I know from experience that “You can’t out exercise a poor diet”, I still told myself that I could eat what I wanted because I was working out 5-6 days a week. Yet I was not seeing the results I wanted or expected to see from my workouts. FInally, after being sick of the excuses I was making for myself, and after gaining weight during the quarantine (which I also told myself was ok because food gave me comfort, and “everyone gained weight during the quarantine”) and being sick of struggling through workouts every day I decided that something needed to change. Since I was already doing the exercise, I knew that what needed to change was my diet.
In March 2020 I started training with Moxie. Tracey was tough, but also very encouraging, motivating and held me accountable each and every time. I could tell by my improvement on Moxie’s benchmark workouts that my overall athletic performance - endurance, strength and stamina - was improving but I couldn’t help but wonder how much MORE I could improve if I could just get my eating back on track. On June 14, with Tracey’s help I started becoming more aware of what I was eating, how often and how much. I was afraid that I was going to have to weigh and measure all of my food or write down everything I ate but that wasn’t the case at all! Tracey made it so easy! There was no weighing, no measuring, no food log! (although I do take pictures of my meals and send them to her for accountability and feedback) Some days were harder than others of course, but I never felt deprived, never felt hungry, I still have “cheat” meals on occasion and I look forward to them now since it is not an every day thing.
I still feel like I have a way to go, but I am so happy with my results. In the past 4 months I can honestly say that:
-
I have lost weight. (-8.4 lbs)
-
I have lost body fat.(-1.5% bf)
-
I have lost inches (6.8 total in.)
-
I feel more confident.
-
I have more energy.
-
I look forward to working out (even burpees don’t suck as much as they used to!)
-
I have also added running to my workouts and am enjoying that again."
