Making the decision to go "ALL IN?"

Many of you have been following my journey for the last few months.  So far, I have not been the person to have jaw dropping results on the outside, but I can tell you, I am experiencing an amazing transformation on the inside!

Since committing to my health and fitness in September, 2016 I've experienced so many positive changes.  I have an overall improved sense of well being.  I'm more focused.  I have more energy.  I laugh more.  I'm improving my relationship with food, which I didn't realize was so poor in the first place!  It's crazy whats revealed to you when you really start focusing on improving all aspects of your life.

I posted a few weeks ago that I'm in the midst of a stressful season at work and for me that means stress eating, extra cocktails and more frequent take out.  As a result, my results were inching in the wrong direction.  In the past I would've let this continue to be an excuse and eventually throw in the towel because I wasn't getting anywhere.


Not this time.  I evaluated the situation and decided I needed to go "ALL IN!"  I was putting in the work to move my body, but I know that is only 20% of the equation.  The other 80% comes from what I put in my mouth.  I started following the Whole 30 principles on January 19th, and I'm happy to say, my results are no longer moving in the wrong direction!

Even though the month started out a little rocky, I ended January with a loss of 6.5 pounds and 8.5 inches!  I'll take it!


Since starting this journey, I've dropped 15.6 pounds and 14 inches!  When I look at these pictures, I see the biggest difference in my face.  Not just the change created by weighing less, but a change from the inside out.  In the picture on the left, I was not happy.  I felt stuck and didn't know how to turn things around.  I failed more times than I can count at getting my health and fitness back on track.  In the picture on the right, I'm happy.  I'm keeping myself on the priority list.  I'm ALL IN and it feels amazing!


With the help of the tribe of women that participate in my Challenge Groups, I think I finally have this thing figured out!  I'm ALL IN for the long haul!  My Self Love Challenge Group starts February 1st.  I have a few spots open.  If you're ready to put yourself on the priority list, send me an e-mail to sueharkerfitness@gmail.com or complete the support and accountability application below.  Once thing I know for sure...

Together we are stronger,

Sue
