So not gonna lie, this week has been a tough one for me. I am in the middle of getting a divorce, but still living in the same apartment until I can find somewhere else to go...so I have been jumping around from friend to friend just so I don't have to be home with him. This has made planning ahead and staying on track extremely difficult this week. I have also been staying in Bowie so I haven't made it to workouts as much as I need to.
I decided to write this blog today because I really just needed to tell on myself and start fresh for the rest of the week.
This week, my body feels less strong then last week, so this is something I need to work on for the rest of the week. I have been sick (or allergies..not sure which) for the past couple of days so I haven't really done a lot. It is time to set some new goals.
I have learned that I have a really hard time when I don't have a set living situation or a plan. I also have learned to move past bad choices...which is why I am writing this blog. It always helps to start fresh!
My oh yeah moment this week...hmm I think my Oh yeah moment would have to be getting a healthy salad for lunch today instead of making bad choices like I have been lately.
My goals..this week my goals are to stay within my points and to get back to focusing on my workouts instead of focusing on all the crap going on right now. I know I can do it...but if anyone wants to hold me accountable, that would be awesome!
As for showing up this week, I feel like every time I go to the worx, all of you together inspire me to keep coming back! So please keep showing up because by helping yourself, you all are helping me, too!
I am sorry that this was not my usual positive blog, that will be back next week. This week, I am just looking for some encouragement to get me back on track! Thanks to everyone who has been there for me lately! I totally appreciate it! Hopefully I will gain strength through this struggle!
Week one. Journey #3. Wow.
Before I started at the Worx, I had the most negative attitude. I NEVER thought I would have been able to make it this far again! At the beginning of my 3rd journey, I am starting with 46 lbs removed. I feel stronger then I have like EVER. I also feel more confident in myself then I have in a really long time! It is crazy what HUGE changes you can make in such a short time!
This week, I have learned that you are stronger then your excuses. I used to make a ton of excuses for why I couldnt make it to workout every day. Last night I went out with my friends and drank entirely more then I should have. I had planned to go to bootcamp today, and when I woke up in the morning (extremely hungover), my friend asked me if I would skip my workout and just go to breakfast instead. While this idea sounded awesome and super tempting, I woke up this morning and went to bootcamp. I downed 3 water bottles on the way there, and what made me super proud:
My OH YEAH moment this week. I pushed myself as hard as I could through the class. I could have just done everything half way, but when I woke up this morning and actually WENT to class, I knew I was committing to making a change. A change in my body, my confidence, and my life. You can't make much of a change if you only do everything half way, so I pushed through class as hard as I could..and I am so glad I did.
My goal for last week was to keep up with food tracking. I did so great last week with tracking my food! This week, my goal is to stay on track with food again, because like they say...abs are made in the kitchen (LOL). I also want to keep going with my ab, squat and burpee challenge I have been doing.
As for showing up, Maia and Flo inspire me all the time! I feel like they can always sense when I am not doing too well with my eating or my workouts...any they always make sure to let me know. Even though I get frustrated (because no one likes for someone to notice that they are not putting their all into it), I NEED that! So thank you both.
In my life lately, I have been going through some personal issues. I have decided that there are no more excuses. My time is now. The Worx has really helped me to stay positive and focused, and to not let my personal issues get in the way of my goals. Along with getting closer to my goals, I have also become more positive in how I am looking at everything...even the negative parts of my life.
I am so excited to see where Journey #3 takes me. Don't hold back...we can do this...the time is NOW. :)
