My 80 Day Obsession Journey

This is gonna be the hardest post for me to write.  Ok so i've been in a rut lately.  I quit the gym that I loved in May after going 6 days a week for 3 years...for personal reasons.  I can't find another gym that has 5am classes at least 5 days a week for me to go to.  Every so often I go to Beachbody.com to see what kind of workouts they offer.  I was doing Piyo for a little bit, then I got bored, of course I didn't follow any diet plan so I didn't lose any weight.  Then I found 80 Day Obsession.  This seemed perfect for me.  80 different workouts (which is great cause it can boring doing the same workouts over and over) plus they give you a meal plan with the portion sized containers to meal prep with.  Anyways I don't wanna bore you with all that stuff, maybe I'll explain it more later.  For now, I think I want to just be accountable for doing this.  I know this workout/diet plan will work as long as I stick with it.  The workouts aren't the problem, it's the snacking and all the good food I like to eat.  So I think if post it then people will expect me follow this all the way through.

So here it goes...I started day 1 on Monday, October 15.  I think I will take pics and measurements every ten days to monitor any progress.  I purposely cropped out my face cause I totally feel uncomfortable doing this and if I don't have to look at my face then it makes it a little easier :-)  I hope you don't get sick looking at it.

You go girl! I too need to lose some pounds. You’re still young, but when I hit menopause it seemed like overnight I was 20 lbs over weight and no matter how much I exercised I couldn’t lose a single pound. I love to eat too so I realized I had to change my diet, but that’s where my struggle is. If this works for you, maybe I’ll try it too! Cheering you on!
