Well this past week I feel that I am feeling stronger and my endurance is increasing. My body however does feel a bit tired and sore but in a good way. I feel the changes in my body and the tightness in my legs the most. Stomach is such a huge challenge for me but I feel a little improvement. I am still sticking to Paleo about 95% and I truly feel so much better. I mean no stomach issues and the 5% that I'm not, I feel it! Pretty crazy how the saying is so true that "you are what you eat". It is the truth! I had some M&Ms yesterday, the first candy I've had in over 3 1/2 weeks and I felt sick to my stomach. It was the worst feeling. Other than that, I am learning what is working for me. This lifestyle change has me always thinking, "is it even worth it?" No, it's not if it's going to hinder the way I feel.
I had some "oh yea" moment last week was going to my parents house and eating clean and sticking to a plan. There was so much "unhealthy" foods but I just avoided it and didn't even want it. So I am proud of myself for that. And another moment was when everybody in my office went to Five Guys and they brought it back, asked if I wanted fries and I said "nope" with no hesitation. It is getting easier that is for sure.
I am so glad to see everyone's posts on FB and the blogs because it continues to motivate me and push me harder. The event last Thursday was great because everyone is on this journey to change our lives and it makes me feel so good and honored to be a part of this.
I didn't really fulfill all my goals as planned, I did alright with drinking more water but I could do better and I didn't make it to bikram yoga. However I am going tomorrow with my friend after work. So my goals this week will be the same.
I am so ready for this, as long as I keep my eye on the prize and know my "worth".
