Genesis lost 84lbs

It's crazy what you can do in two years. I remember putting off losing weight and saying I will start my diet next Monday or next month. Just thinking about the process felt overwhelming and I truly thought it would take FOREVER. However, losing the weight happened quicker than I thought it would. At the end of my first year, I lost a total of 84 pounds. I think that played a big part in staying consistent. God's grace also helped because honestly, I could not have done this in my strength, I know from attempting before and I  did not have the willpower.

Another huge factor is having an amazing Coach. I could not have asked for a better Coach and I truly could not imagine doing this with anyone else. I am so grateful for your encouragement and holding me accountable and pushing me past what I thought my limits were. I truly am thankful for you and am looking forward to entering year 3... Yes even with all your shenanigans! I also know when I think about how much time, energy, pain, and growth went into this process, it truly helps me stay focused. I know that I never want to start from the bottom again. I think another component that helps me remain consistent is the fact that I feel a million times better and ultimately my health has benefited greatly from this transformation.

I have not been perfect, but I truly understand the meaning of consistency when I am not motivated, I know if I remain consistent it will keep me at a point of maintaining until I can refocus and come back refreshed and ready to attack my next set of goals.  I think understanding that this is truly a journey and not a race helps keep things in perspective.

As I get ready to head into this next year of training, I know it will require me to push myself if I am going to reach the goals I set for myself. I am so thankful that the coach has made me document this Journey because on the days when I don't want to or the days when I feel like  I can't, I have all these videos and pictures to look back on to remind me that I can and that I will.
