And it begins ... The 8 week transformation kickoff! I don’t hate my body but then again I don’t love it right now. After steadily leaning out April through July, August and September have been a whirlwind of cross country travel, weddings, drinks and foods I never eat. The past two weeks alone have been filled with unusual amounts of salts and sweets, with limited planning or preparation. My workouts have been lazy. While I only gained about 2-3 lbs, my body was feeling the effects in many ways - exhaustion, cravings, lack of motivation, headaches, stomach issues, bloating and water retention... etc. So it was high time to dive back in. Teddy decided he would be interested in the #8weektransformation special that @duncanlukas was running and having never had a coach, someone to guide me or reset my training/nutrition plans but myself, or really anyone to be accountable to at all, I was all for it. We’re both diving in together. Today is day 1 of 56. I share these pictures not just for establishing a starting point and determining progress, but because so many people express sentiments to me about “how lucky I am” to “have” this body or be fit, how they “wish” they had time or (insert excuse here) and how “great” my metabolism is compared to theirs... none of which are accurate. It’s a constant effort, intentional planning, and cyclical re-dedication. I look forward to this 8 week journey and I’m sooo pumped to have a few friends along for the haul- our #8weaknotweek team is going to ROCK this! @davemarion84 @tedhoward02 @jconnetti 💪🏻 Proud of you guys!! 😍 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn8mmg0D_gKwjWTAEphXmcqWhMZlKIOVP78dog0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jq33nw1rmimj
