She recently made the transition from crib to toddler bed, got rid of her beloved sleep Paci and potty trained, all in ONE MONTH. Now, if she can do all of that, I can sure as hell get in shape. I put myself in this unhealthy state so I can whip myself out of it. The road to fit is rocky, it isn't going to be a straight shot. There are going to be bumps, cheeseburgers, slacker days, and beyond. Life happens, but you have to push forward. You have to find YOUR inspiration to keep pushing. Personally if the simple fact that being obese is a SERIOUS risk on your livelyhood, shortening your life span by more than 50% then look inside yourself and find something that inspires you. I have recently been told by so many that I am their inspiration (BLUSHING) some of these people I don't even personally KNOW! That is such a big honor in my eyes and of course keeps me pushing even harder. If I can do it, you can too. That is really saying something too, I am a FRIED food LOVER. I am a EVERYTHING food lover. I am a self proclaimed foodie. I love trying new foods and take pride in my tastes. This love comes with a price. My big fat ass for one. :) I actually take pride in my butt, it is my best asset, I do a LOT of squats to keep in in line, but the food intake never helps. I actually gain most weight in my face and lower stomach. Yuck.
I DO NOT COUNT CALORIES. I do not, do not, do not. Added stress. How about we all just have a little self control huh? You don't NEED two cheeseburgers, I know, I know, you want them, but you don't need them. You don't NEED that large pizza or mega fries, but, if you can take it in MODERATION, you can still have the things that make you happy. I have made the choice to incorporate clean eating into my diet. I am not going on a crazy quest to only eat clean, I have way to much love for unclean foods, but for my health and that little girl, I WILL.
Lets take a moment and look for YOUR inspiration. It could be as simple as you wanting to be healthier, you may not even be overweight but you know you aren't healthy so you make some diet changes. When I started my journey in February I was in the MORBID OBESE category. OMG, those words hit me like a truck. I didn't cry about it, I did something about it. No more being a lazy ass and stress eating, I did something to change it. I found the most HARDCORE workout plan on the market, bought it and got to work. Insanity really REALLY really changed my life. This was LONG LONG LONG before I became a beach body coach. I had no intention of helping others, I was in deep myself. Now GET THIS. During the program (60 days) I only lost 5 pounds. FIVE FREAKING POUNDS. But get this, after those 60 days I was officially in the HEALTHY WEIGHT cateogry! I know you are asking "Brittnee how the hell is that even possible?" Let me tell you. I shrunk. Muscle weighs more MORE more than fat. I am a stocky build so I gain muscle like a bod builder. I went from a size 16 pants (which are at goodwill for good now) to a 9! A size 9 with a 5 pound weight loss. You can see it in my face, my stomach and everywhere in between, thanks you INSANITY.
Back to the inspirations... We talked about your health. I talked about my child. How about for your hubby or wife? I know that I feel so so so much sexier now that I don't have so much extra me hanging around. I know they say they love you no matter how fat you are, but why not want to look your best for them? After all you choose them to be the ONE AND ONLY till death do us part, get sexy and spice it up! How about wanting to wear cuter clothes. I know first hand plus size clothing is frumpy. I can't wait to rock a crop top. I will every damn day too. What about, inspire others? Are there members of your family who could use a lifestyle change? By simply doing it for yourself, you will inspire others to do the same.
I have to tell you guys about DAN. Coach Dan to be exact. He and I have NEVER met, but he has inspired me not only to keep pushing me forward, but he is the one who pushed me to become a coach. He noticed that my story was inspiring others. People wanted to follow my lead! Wow how flattering. He found me on instagram. He noticed I had started doing insanity and wanted to offer his free coaching. (something I now offer). I hit the jackpot because he is a personal trainer and nutritionist. He provided me with so much insight and motivation that I am STILL GOING. No stopping in sight.
My husband is my final inspiration. When we met almost 10 years ago I was a lot smaller than I am now, and through the years I have just gotten bigger and more unattractive. I know that, looking at photos makes me sick. I have never heard him ever complain about how overweight I was becoming, but I was personally embarrassed Why would anyone want to look at someone so unattractive for the rest of their lives? He is nothing but supportive and even joins me from time to time. He is in the Military though so he has plenty of physical training under his belt.
Friends, it could be anything. Anything that inspires you to start a new healthier life. Just START. I started without any help or support and gained it throughout my journey. I didn't NEED anyone backing me up. I knew in my heart it was time to change. I knew something needed to be done. I looked inside myself and made a change. Are you ready? You already have one supporter. I am HERE FOR YOU. There are ways to contact me on my website. I am here. Don't forget that.
