Day 80!!!

So it's Day 80 of 80 Day Obsession.

For the past 3 months, I have prioritized meal prepping, eating, sleeping, and of course, hour long workouts where I pushed myself to do more and get stronger. Every. Single. Day.

Looking back to Day 1 - it seems like such a long time ago, but it flew by.  Probably because I was not conscious for a lot of it, as I got more sleep haha!

But today was bittersweet. I'm dealing with all kinds of emotions.

• I never doubted that I could do it. I love working out!
• The nutrition plan was the toughest challenge, but once I got through the first month or so of getting used to it, it got easier to know what to eat and when... and how to eat out. And I learned that meal prep is key, as I have maximum control over how I feed and fuel my body.
• I learned so much about my mental state, and how I have such a deeper understanding of myself and how to achieve my goals.

But back to today - tons of others cried because they were proud and felt accomplished that they did it.  That's great, and I'm proud too. But I cried because I'm sad that it's over.

The last 80 days, I've worked out with the same group of people (the cast and Autumn) every single day.  It's not a workout DVD program where you replay the same workout over and over, hearing the same scripted motivational advice.

It's 80 workouts of learning about the cast, their quirks, their facial expressions, and hearing different motivational phrases, tips, etc... they became friends, even though they have no idea who I am.

And so now that 80 days is over, I don't get to continue to grow with them, because it's done.  I don't get to continue being friends with them.  I feel like I'm cut off, and that's where I feel lost. This program has seriously spoiled me... and that's why it made it easier to keep doing the hard things!

I am so grateful for the experience.  I am grateful that Autumn coached us through the entire 80 days. I learned so much. I got the Tough Love that I needed right when I needed it. And I shared the experience with 20,000+ others.

While my results weren't as dramatic as some others - 6 pounds and 6 inches lost - I had amazing results with my confidence and self esteem. I am treating myself better, both by the way I talk to myself and how I fuel my body.

This program has been a life changer.

I can't wait to do it again!!!
