It is a cross between Pilates and Yoga at a bit faster pace than you might usually find in either of these forms of exercise. It Made me sweat, it made me stretch it tightened and toned and helped me to lose inches and weight.
Honestly I Fell in Love with the program, it was just what my body needed at the time, I was week, in pain, unhappy, my self image was awful. And this program "PiYo" gave me the ability to get all that back.
Did it happen over night, or after just one program??? Heavens NO! But that program began my Journey starting Last December, and continuing on now.
I am still certainly a work in progress, But I am so pleased with how far I have come.
What do these photos show???
Really all they show is that I have toned up my body a bit this past year. What they DON'T show is what is KEY, They don't show:
* That I have learned to feed my family Cleaner Healthier meals, packed with whole food nutrition
* That I have gained much greater self confidence about Me as a Woman, Mom, Wife, Friend, than I have had in Probably my whole LIFE
* How I have made well over 200 hundred new friends, some of those friends are LIFER's "people you know you will be able to count on and be friends 10, 20, 30 years from now"
* That because I chose to take the Leap, the small ripple that I created has effected probably close too 100 (just that I know of) individuals who have chosen to make healthier choices for their bodies.
* That I have been able to bring in a stead and substantial income for my Family for the past 5 months now, and it's steadily growing.
* Who I am, and How I have Learned to LOVE, Support, Encourage those I come in contact with rather than to Tear them Down or Ignore them, Just because they don't fit the MOLD I Created for them in my mind, doesn't mean their is anything wrong with them, it just means we are different, and I have learned to LOVE the differences.
If there is one thing I HOPE that you take away from this POST it is this:
"WE are Incredible beings who have the Strength to do what we Put our Minds too, If we just have a little bit of Support, Accountability, and A LOT of LOVE along our Journey"
There is just Far too Much negative and criticism in our Society today, so many of us "especially moms" feel that we have to FIT into the Mold!!! Well I want to ask Who poured that Dang Mold any way, STOP trying to be some one you are not, or conforming to an impractical society, That will not make you or any one HAPPY!!!
