Yesterday was a big day… Ten more days until my birthday! Seven more days of Beachbody’s 21 Day Fix Extreme!

I cannot believe my #eightyday journey is in single digits at this point. I cannot believe that the choice I made #eightydays ago has paid dividends. I cannot believe the mental change and physical impact this has had on my life.

With ten days left I know this much about myself. I. AM. STRONGER. So much stronger. I have so much more endurance. I am so much more capable. And I love working out. Of course there are harder days than others and in all honesty, I really only consistently worked out for 28 of the eighty days. It took me a long time to start.

I also know that food is my friend as well as my enemy. I know that eating healthy is easy for me Monday through Friday as I prepare lunches for work and I remain on a consistent schedule. I know that eating healthy is easy at home where I am in control of what is purchased and what is prepared. I also understand that I struggle in restaurants to make a healthy choice. I’d rather make a delicious choice. And I know I still love dessert. I am proud of myself for eating it less often and making less indulgent choices.

I will not reveal any results just yet as I get nine more days to see final results. And when I take my after photos the changes may not be visible to the naked eye, but the changes I feel within, I know how vast those changes are.

Progress my friends, that is the name of the game.
