Every journey has ups and downs...and this week has been one of the more difficult ones for me. I have had a really hard time eating right this week and have gone out to eat more then I should have. The positive side of this slip up week is that it has made me really think about my goals and what I want for myself. After eating horribly, I felt gross...my body felt weak and uncomfortable. I have decided that I don't want to feel like that and that my goals are more important, and as of today, I am completely back on track.
My body is feeling stronger after making it through bootcamp today. Although I dread plyo days, I also feel like I get the most benefit out of plyo. I feel good after having a super healthy eating day today.
This week, I have learned that my goals are more important then my cravings. After going through a rough week, I realized that no matter how good food tastes, those few minutes of good flavor are not worth the effect it will have on my body and my health.
My OH YEAH moment this week was running the 5 k again on Sunday. I really am starting to like running. It still is painful and really really hard for me, but I love how I feel when I get to my destination. I also can really feel my abs working after a run, which is pretty great!
My goal for last week was to run twice and to do morning workouts every morning of the week. I was somewhat successful in that I did one run and 4 morning workouts. I was pretty happy that I could wake up early 4 out of 5 days. This week, my goal is to stay on track with food and make a plan for my vacation. I am off of work next week, so I think it might be a challenging one for me. I am also going to the Eastern Shore for a few days next week. I have already talked to my friend about getting in a few workouts, but I also need to think about my food choices and look up menus for places I will be going. I know I can make it a successful week off, even though it will be more challenging then normal.
Helina really showed up for me this week. I was really motivated during our run when I heard her breathing as hard as I was. I really wanted to stop running a few times, and seeing that she was still going was the only reason I kept going. It really made a difference for me this week!
I am excited to use this week to move closer to my goals by thinking about how my choices will move me closer to where I want to be. Thanks to the Worx, I won't let one bad week keep me down. I can do it :)
