Dissecting and Loving the 2B Mindset
Beachbody’s latest program is making a huge impact among emotional eaters (like me!) without making us rule out any of the foods we love.
You know from previous posts that I’ve struggled in recent months with getting my workouts in–either because life got in the way or because I was injured. That led to feeling guilt, which led to me reaching for a little treat here and there. Because why not? I felt like I was failing at whatever program I was on so it didn’t matter anyway.
The Big Ah-Ha
Most recently, when I did 80 Day Obsession, I struggled with trying to fit in all the food I needed to eat. I was eating two eggs, spinach, toast and turkey bacon for breakfast every morning–a LOT of food–and then having trouble eating enough food the rest of the day. That led to me skipping workouts, having a few too many treats each day and just generally feeling down about it all.
What I realized was that I was angry at myself and sabotaging my own success because of it. That led me to 2B Mindset, which came at a perfect time for me.
I’m just a few months away from my 50th birthday and I’ve come to understand that my own health and fitness journey is about being comfortable in my own skin and eating right–for me. Not only that but I also want to do the workouts that bring me joy and make me feel good. That doesn’t always mean following a program to a T. It means running one day, doing a 21 Day Fix workout another and yoga in between. It means doing what I want, when I want. But moving every day.
Anyone doing a program that has a timed goal or full program like 21 Day Fix or 80 Day Obsession or even Body Beast knows that to see the best results you need to stick to the plan every day. But when you’re in it for the lifestyle and joy of it, it’s all about making the right choices for you.
Quick Wins & Mindset
I started following some of the principles in 2B Mindset before the package even arrived in the mail. And just by drinking water first, eating veggies the most and weighing myself every day, I was down 7 pounds in the first week.
It’s all about mindset. It’s about knowing that it’s okay to have a bite of a treat and not feel like I’ve sabotaged my day. It’s about finding a way that turns being healthy and feeling great into a lifestyle. It’s about being gentle to my soul when I miss a workout.
With 2B Mindset, I now have the tools, permission and guidance to get to where I want to be in the long-term. Because at my age, I don’t have it in me to restrict myself for the quick-fix. I know that it will take much more than I’m willing to give to maintain those big, quick changes in my body. I don’t need big wins or a total body makeover. I need to feel like myself and love every minute of it.
