See the Change!

This last month has been a great one in terms of fitness. I finished the last phase, the Lean phase, of ChaLEAN Extreme and am excited to see the results of the program!
In the last month I have lost: 2 1/2 lbs and 1 1/4 in. I would have preferred these numbers be larger but that's what I get for my excessive "cheat" meals on the weekends.

I have lost 14.5 pounds in the last 3 months of CE and 7 1/4 inches total.
For the next two weeks I will be focusing on recovering my body with a stretch routine and some cardio, before I start P90X.

I am continuing to count and track every calorie I consume and limiting myself to 1600 calories per day but making sure that I keep my body fueled every 2-3 hours so that it can continue building muscle. I still have 26.5 pounds to go in order to meet my goal weight, and just 10.5 pounds to my pre-pregnancy weight just 4 months after little Thane was born. I have to remind myself each day of the progress I have made to motivate myself to keep moving forward; it's easy to get derailed and burned out but after seeing the progress so far, and completing an entire program, I have renewed motivation and I hope that each of you have the motivation to keep moving toward your goals, rather they are fitness goals, or any other area of life!
