Essante Organics 12 week Transformation: Before & After

Well, this is it folks,  the end of my 1st 12 week Essante Organics Transformation Challenge!

Here are a few final thoughts I wanted to share with all of you who have followed my journey over the last few months. http://myorganictransformation.weebly.com

This challenge offered many rewards, both emotional and physical.

My most emotionally rewarding experience throughout this process was watching how my determination and perseverance effected and inspired others. My 4 year old daughter now asks to exercise with me daily. My husband and parents beam with pride as they brag to their friends about my progress. Other friends and family members tell me how I’ve inspired them to get healthy. Everyone around m has increased their activity level and/or their diet in one way or another.

Physically, my most rewarding experience has been accomplishing more than I ever believed I could. I’ve reduced my body fat by 20%. I’ve become a cyclist. I’ve become a swimmer. I’ve started attending a local boot camp. I’ve become a fitness addict!

At the start of this contest, if someone told me that I would accomplish or become any one of those things I would have laughed and reminded them of my disability and my hectic schedule with 2 small children. How on earth can a stay at home mom find time and energy to do all of that…much less a mom who happens to be a hemiplegic? Well, I not only did it, but I KILLED IT!!!

This challenge has also redefined how I define success.

“I don’t believe you have to be better than everybody else. I believe you have to be better than you ever thought you could be.” –Ken Venturi

My goal is always to be better than I was yesterday…That is success!!!

I’d LOVE to hear about your goals, challenges, successes! Please share in the comments below!

 

My 12 week Transformation

httpmyorganictransformation.weebly.com

As most of you know, I am a work from home mom of 2 small and wonderfully energetic children. I managed to lose most of my baby weight through eating healthy and breastfeeding, but I have a few pesky pounds that seem to want to hang around.

The company I work with, Essante Organics, offers a 12 week Transformation contest for a $2500 prize. Anyone can enter and any transformation can win (weight loss, weight gain, building muscle, getting healthy, etc.). So I decided to let $2500 be my motivation! I am a week in and have already lost 4 pounds!

Organic and GMO-free nutrition is already important to my family especially since my lil Bulldog  suffers from food allergies and eczema. Since I plan to continue breastfeeding throughout this challenge and beyond, I know Essante Organics pH 7.365 dairy free, gluten free, soy free, chemical free, pH balanced protein powder is the BEST choice to achieve my health goals.

As a busy mom, I often find it difficult to prepare and eat enough fruits and veggies, so I’m adding Essante Earth Greens and Super Reds to my daily regimen…they are an easy way to sneak my kids more fruits and veggies too! 😉

I have also discovered that my body won’t give up those extra pounds with diet alone, so exercise is a critical component of my journey. Honestly, In the past, I have struggled to find the motivation, time, and discipline to exercise regularly, yet I’ve committed to push my limits during this 12 week transformation and beyond.

As you know, I am differently-abled which will require me to modify all of my workouts and will make cardiovascular exercise more challenging. However, I’ve searched YouTube and found many adaptable routines (stay tuned for a link). NO EXCUSES!

With my disability, comes a lack of muscle tone and movement on the right side of my body and I’d like to change that. I may never be completely “balanced”, but there are NO EXCUSES not to give it my every effort so I am making strength training a vital part of my transformation. Essante pH 7.365 protein powder gives my muscles an alkaline boost that WILL help me reach this goal.
