As I begin week 1 of my second Journey with the Worx, I am feeling confident that I have all of the tools I need to be successful. My body is feeling stronger then it has felt in a while. I was really surprised that I could do Kickboxing AND make it through the Fit test after. The crazy part is that when I started my first Journey, I could barely make it through JUST the Fit test on level 1. This time, I made it through kickboxing AND the Fit test and level 2 or 3! I am definitely noticing a difference in strength and endurance at this point, and it feels great!
Going through the nutrition seminar for the second time, I have learned that I really need to focus this time on cleaner eating. I am not going to say that I will COMPLETELY cut out processed foods, because I feel like that would be unrealistic to me, but I am trying to move towards that in the long term. I just went shopping, and tried to keep to all fresh foods, fruits and veggies, chicken, and things like that. I already cooked some food for meals this week in hopes that it will keep me away from less healthy options. Planning ahead can make such a huge difference.
My OH YEAH Moment this week so far was being able to fit back into a t-shirt that I wore in college. I can comfortably fit into it now, which says a lot because I started out at the worx in an XXL size tshirt, and am now able to comfortably fit into a large!
My goals for this week were to just get started with the new journey, and to clean up my kitchen. With this, I have been very successful so far. In this next week, my goals are to start running a few times a week (if anyone wants to do this with me, it would really help!), and to stay on track with my food. I am doing the Glo Run in April, so I really need to start building up my running!
As for inspiring me, Helina, Nicole, and Kathy were great motivators to me at the Journey kickoff. It is nice to have some familiar faces in this Journey. We are all in this together! I am so excited to be a part of my second Journey, it is SO SO worth the work when you start to see and feel the results.
Lets do this! :)
Me! Me! Me! Pick me! lol I am not doing the Journey for the second round, but I do need a running partner! I will be reading yours and the other fellow journeymen's blogs to stay motivated! I told you we would exchange numbers so we can keep each other motivated but here is mine finally!!! 678-768-8531 Good Luck and I'm proud of how far you have come!! :)
