Day 5: Challenge Groups + Crazy 8's Take 3!

Pretty sore from yesterday's 8 count abs!

Today was my 3rd round of Crazy 8's!  This is the last time I will do this dance routine until week 4!  Week 4...seems so far away haha, but hopefully this blog will help get me there faster!  After you do each routine you're supposed to rate yourself with 1, 2, or 3 check marks.

1= back-up dancer
2= front and center
3= ready for my music video!!!

I think after 3 sessions of practice, I might be ready for my music video now guys!!!  ;)  

Challenge groups are key!
As an aside, I am completing cize with the support of my August challenge group.  I was a shy part of my first challenge group with the 21 day fix, but even though I was too nervous to post my measurements and photos, the motivating posts from my coach and the group really held me accountable, motivated me and there was a ready and willing group of people to answer my questions, share their own experiences and success all in a judgement-free zone!  

If you're not familiar with "challenge groups", the one I am a part of is a private facebook group created by my coach.  Everyone is completing come sort of Beachbody program and each day our coach posts an assignment.  Something quick and easy like "take your measurements", "favorite shakeology recipes", "water challenge (where you really try to drink the recommended amount of water for the day)", "what motivates you", etc.  It's nice the groups are private because then only the people in your group see your posts, not all of your facebook friends! Of course, I tested this to be sure ;) 

After my 1st successful round of the fix, I joined the next challenge group, but fell off the wagon and didn't really participate due to life getting in the way.  This time I'm determined to do all the challenges and really participate. I've done my pre-cize pics and measurements and will hopefully be able to update you with some good news along the way!

The other great thing I've learned through my challenge group is that I'm not the only one that is having trouble.  Just because I'm not being perfect with the meal plan and just because crazy 8's was the last thing I wanted to do this morning and when I did do it, I felt like I wanted to stop, I still kept going!  And when it was time to "cize it up" I was music video ready!  That's all my challenge group and my goal to finish this blog!  Hopefully, to help others in the process! :)
