Focus T 25

This summer I asked for the Insanity workout program for my birthday and got it! I completed the full 60 days and got amazing results. It was super challenging but so rewarding. I have never worked so hard in a workout!
Here are my befores and after shots (if there really is such a thing as after).

Then school started and life got busy. Matt and I continued to do our Insanity workouts before work, but it was becoming more and more challenging as work picked up. I was intrigued by Focus T 25 for a couple of reasons, one being Shaun T of course, and

the other the 25 minutes. I love Shaun T! He is so inspirational. His workouts are effective and push me beyond my limits. I was sold! Plus 25 minutes is perfect when you are working out at 4:45 am!

So today, I started my Focus T 25 workout. Its 10 weeks for 25 minutes a day. I will tell you, I am feeling my glutes. I am pumped to see results. I plan on updating on my progress so I can see how far I have come. woohoo!

Here are my befores for Focus T 25.

  

Cheers to meeting goals and feeling good!

Reflecting

Its the end of 2013. I cannot even believe it! What a year it has been, a blessed year. This year has been amazing for me. It has been a journey of self reflection, discovery and improvement. There have been challenges, joys and triumphs.
As I went into 2013, I was ready to really focus on me. It sounds selfish, but I found that when I am taken care of in my mind, body and soul, I am a better wife, mama, friend, and teacher. The previous year I went vegan but had a relapse with cheese over the Christmas break. I felt so gross. So in 2013 I decided to recommit myself to a plant based diet. I am proud to say that I have stuck with it. I feel amazing!
I also decided that there were no excuses for not working out regularly. I am one of those people who works out consistently and then life hits a bump, a change in schedule or illness, and then I stop. I was always annoyed with myself for letting myself do this. So I recommitted. In July, for my birthday, I got the Insanity workout. I completed the 63 days! I proved to myself that I can do a lot more physically than I thought. I found that I am so much stronger than I thought. I have the ability to persevere through something really challenging. Today I am fitter than I have ever been. I wear a size that I haven't worn since high school, and weigh a lot less than I did a year ago. I have more energy, confidence and strength to focus on my days.
As I look back on 2013, I can say that I am a better Kelly than I was January 1,2013. I am proud of who I am and who God is forming me into.
