The final PiYo results are in! I ended up adding a week between the two months where I did a sort of hodgepodge workout program, so instead of 60 this turned into a 67 day program for me. Needless to say I am very happy with the results. I am now down to below my pre-pregnancy weight of 168lbs, my last weigh in was yesterday at 160lbs! More important than the number on the scale is how much better I feel overall. I feel stronger, sexier, and more motivated to take on new challenges. It doesn’t hurt that, my clothes are fitting better and I am able to confidently wear outfits that I had been shying away from far before getting pregnant.
Truth time, I started this journey and told myself that I was trying to get healthy to be there for Davey. That was only a partial truth. I have been progressively gaining more and more weight since graduating college and it was starting to weigh on me not only physically but emotionally. I have gone through good periods where I am super motivated and able to drop back down but have not found anything sustainable to help keep me there. I had turned it into a joke, so much so, that I even named my stomach, her name is Betty and she is one hungry bad ass bitch that when not kept in check can seriously mess with my life. It got to the point where, I would hide behind the humor, instead of facing the facts that I was making some very poor lifestyle choices I would blame Betty.
I am proud to say that Betty and I now have a much healthier relationship. I have embraced being more conscious about my food choices and really working hard to counter cravings with healthier snacking options. I am finally committing to myself and this workout program. I can say with confidence that I have made changes in my life that will truly be sustainable even when things get busy.
PiYo was not an easy program to maintain. If you look closely at my calendar you will see I took at least 2-3 rest breaks every week as opposed to the 1 built into the program. Physically I was not ready for such an intense program. This being said I am interested to see how T25 is. Ging forward I will have the support of my mom and my sister who are also joining me over the next month as my workout buddies, wish us luck! I will keep you all posted as we carry on.
So thrilled for you!
