Going into a new week, I am feeling stronger. I noticed that my clothes are getting looser, and I have gotten a ton of compliments at work. It feels great when people start to see your changes. In boot camp yesterday, I could definitely tell that I was getting stronger. Things that used to be really challenging for me have gotten easier. Simple moves like jumping jacks and burpies, which used to make me feel extremely winded and worn out, have become a lot easier for me. I can now make it through the warm up without taking more then a 2 second break. It is crazy how much you can change when you put your mind (and body) to it!
This week I have learned that I need to start making a plan for the weekends. I have noticed that the weekends are the most difficult for me because of how much down time I have. I also need to find some things to do during the day on the weekends so that I can limit the amount of down time that I have where I am able to spend eating. Any suggestions are welcome!
This weeks OH YEAH moment: This weekend was really rough for me with eating right. Super bowl sunday, I pretty much pigged out all day. This became an OH YEAH moment for me when I started the next day off again with eating right. There have been so many times that I have let one bad day keep me down and throw me off track. This week, I can say that one bad day was just that, ONE bad day. The quote above is one that I used to remind me that it is dumb to throw away all the progress I have made for just one bad day.
My goal for this week is to make a good plan for eating this weekend. I also want to try to find a motivating quote or story every day this week. I think this will help remind me why I started, and keep me going. Last week, my goal was to start the combat challenge along with boot camp. I did great with this goal last week, but it also made me feel a little burnt out by the end of the week. I have decided that I will still keep doubling up my workouts a few times a week, but also allow myself to rest a few extra days then the combat challenge has scheduled so that I don't get burnt out.
I have been inspired a lot by everyone on the Journey team. It is so helpful to see all of the motivation and quotes being posted on the Journey Facebook page. I have also been motivated by Flo, Sadaf, Lani, Tamika, and Claudia this week. You all have been really great at helping me stay motivated. It is great to come to class and be able to see all of you every time. I am motivated more then ever to go to the Worx because I have made so many good friends through this journey.
Below is the first quote I picked to motivate me this week. I hope it can help you stay motivated this week, too!
Because YOU shape YOU!
