When my best friend said she was going to do the 52 day Best Body Countdown, I said, “sure I’ll do that with you.” I was just doing it to support her. What I didn’t know was how it was going to change my life. Drastically. I have learned so much. I’m learning how to listen to my body, and not only lose weight, but become stronger. About a week into the 52-day Countdown, it became less and less about doing the program just to support my friend, and more and more about building a healthier me while supporting her.
Now? I’m proud to say that instead of being obsessed with ice cream and brownies, I pop cherry tomatoes. I eat three solid meals and a “strong snack” every day. I make sure I get my water intake before I consume any other beverages. I truly have learned how to control my portion sizes and make smarter choices for not only my meals, but also my activities and daily routines. I have made fabulous progress, and this is nowhere near the end! I plan to continue these habits the rest of my life! I’m so thankful to my support system: my best friend/accountability partner, the staff at the gym, and my wonderful hubby who encouraged me and pointed out my visible progress along the way!
