#mombod

This past December I asked Creed to enter me into this fitness program as a Christmas gift. It was pretty pricey but it included a mealplan, daily workouts, an online trainer....annnnnd motivation! One participant would be chosen to receive a FREE TRIP TO THAILAND, based on their before and after photos.  I was pumped. and as diligent as I could be these past 8 weeks. 

Dragging Lance to get babysat somewhere for an hour every day so I could hit the gym, eating lots of greek yogurt and egg whites, and other gross health food...learning how to count macros and tracking everything with a fitness app...


The results are finally in! And while I may not win the free trip, I can totally fit into my pre-pregnancy pants again. #WINNING (this whole program has basically paid for itself right there ;)  Pregnancy and child birth really do a number on ya. But I would take that mombod pictured on the left over life without Lance ANY DAY OF THE WEEK. 

I'm proud and so so grateful for what my body can do. 
I'm V proud of myself for the discipline and hard work I put in these past 2 months.
Starting to feel like my "old self" again and its PRETTY cool.

I wanted to share my 'win' but social media was too intimidating. So I'll share it here on the blog where probably only my mom will see it :) Maybe some day I will be horrified that I put these pictures up on the internet, but right now in this moment, I'm just feeling like tooting my own horn.
