I'm writing this blog, because I want to shout it from the mountain tops that I'm finally starting a new path on my journey to getting in shape, and I'm certain that this path will be successful!
I have already been on this "journey" for more than 6 years now. What? You can't tell? Yeah, me neither. You guys, it's no secret that I am way out of shape. It has been a nasty cycle after ending my college soccer playing years, when I was younger, working out all the time, and could eat anything I wanted. Now- add two beautiful baby girls, and two -"I gained too much weight"- pregnancies, take away the young metabolism & working out all the time, but hold on to that precious food which I love, and continue to eat whatever. This is my disaster.
I have recently started playing pick up soccer games every Saturday. If you could see me the first time. It. was. painful. However, despite the incredibly sore muscles (which actually I kind of like), it gave me a taste of what I used to have, strength, endurance, and energy! It has lighted a spark in me to get better, to get stronger, so I can play harder.
This spark has allowed to me to really dive into my "WHY", for getting in shape. Let me tell you, it's a long list.
- First, I want to be the best mom and the best wife I can be! Being out of shape, well, I'm so lazy! I want to interact better, and last longer in a game of tag instead of saying, "Mommy needs to rest for a minute!" I want to take my girls backpacking, hiking, biking, and be able to enjoy it. I want to instill in my girls the values that being healthy is so important (along with so many others). My husband and I HAVE to live this, we cannot just tell them.
-I have two baby girls that watch me. The mimic me. There is no better time than this to teach them to love their body and treat it well! Especially when there is a big ugly world that is just dying to tell them that they are not good enough, and not pretty enough.
-I am tired. Just literally tired. I want, I need more energy! This is my one life, my one chance, and I want to capitalize on it!
-Getting into shape myself, will hopefully help a lot of other people to realize their own goals! Because if I can do it, anyone can do it. I love lifting people up & encouraging them!
-I have a pair of jeans I ordered a bit after my second was born, and ha, I thought I was ordering big jeans, but no no no. You know how jeans are, completely ridiculous and different for every brand. I digress. I held on to those jeans, like you do with all your "skinny" clothes, vowing that one day.... It's time to fit into those jeans! It's time to open my box of "skinny" clothes again! (A silly-but somehow extremely motivating 'Why'!)
So here you go! I just recently became a beachbody coach, to help me, and help other people fulfill our "why".
I'm going to have a challenge group, starting October 12, that will be 21 days long, completing Beachbody's 21 Day Fix. That's it! 21 days! The group will have people all on the same mission to better health. Just like I thrived in soccer because of my team, and the accountability, I'm excited that this group will offer the same atmosphere and accountability. I want to make it fun, have daily or weekly challenges, and the best part is we won't be doing it alone! I will have more information about the challenge group soon, but if you're interested--message me! or email me! capashay@gmail.com. I can't wait to hear from you!
Cheers to finally getting in shape!
