My most important progress thus far... and it isn't physical.

If you're finding me off Facebook, you've probably seen my transformation pics. You've probably seen how far I've come PHYSICALLY, but if you've lived a day in my shoes, you'd see the REAL progress I've made. The progress you can't see on the outside. I have this AMAZING friend, and actually she's like a sister to me, and we actually met through our upline coach, and my coach told me that I need this girl as a success partner. I was actually potentially paired up with another coach.. but it just didn't feel "right". Kind of like when you pick your husband.. you want THE BEST partner for you out there. One that challenges you to be better, one that can be your BEST FRIEND, one that you can rely on. Well, I've got TWO of them!! We are the trio made in heaven I swear!!! When I met the two of them.... I knew there was a reason I waited for that right partnership.. it was because I was waiting to meet them. SOOOOOO cheesy I know... whatever :)..... So Kate.. which I consider a sister.. her and I decided to do the BODY BEAST program TOGETHER because well.... her and I are sooooo much alike. I have struggled with inconsistency, quitting, and making excuses. I had a hard time finding MY PROGRAM that I would make MY PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION PROGRAM... so when she said she needed and wanted an accountability partner... HECK YES!!! We talk every day, and holds me to it when I just don't want to do it!! She keeps me motivated, and so excited to share how I did that day. I hope I am the same for her!! There is nothing I love more than being able to have that type of friendship with someone... it really is one of a kind!!

Since starting the program... (THIS IS WEEK 3) Here is what has changed in my lifestyle:

1. I quit caffeine, COLD TURKEY.
2. I don't eat out every day
3. I have been CONSISTENT in my workout program, and haven't missed A DAY.

Wanna know what these 3 things have done for me?????

I haven't taken my anxiety/anti depressant medication in 3  and a half weeks. Now some of you may think... psssh. whats's the big deal?? Well let me tell you. Relying on a pill to make sure you don't panic that day, or become overly sad for no reason... it's pretty dang liberating to know that I CAN DO THIS. When I am staying consistent with all those 3 above...  I actually have totally FORGOTTEN because I just feel so good. It was today that I realized I haven't touched my pill case. 

SO this is my greatest progress thus far. and I am totally pleased with this. 

This to me, is WHY this is a LIFESTYLE and not just a phase. THIS is what keeps me motivated and going every single morning! 

If you can relate to having to battle anxiety and depression, you are not alone!!! If you ever need a friend, you've got a friend in me!!!! (Toy story flashback!)
