Week 1 Done. Now time to Worx out Week 2

So it's now the start of week 2 and I must say that I am excited and anxious because I'm on this journey but at the same time ready to get it over with as I have a extremely stressful and challenging week ahead of me. 

So how does my body feel? It feels sore and muscles are tight but in a very good way. I can already see and feel a change in the way my body is reacting to the clean eating and the intense workouts. So glad that I started back drinking the P90x recovery drink after the workouts because otherwise I don't think I would be walking right now. That stuff is the truth!

I am learning a lot about my tolerance and how planning ahead is so important and vital to living a healthy lifestyle. It's makes me feel so productive when I've made my breakfast and lunch ahead of time and just knowing that I have a plan for the next day. I've learned that I need to be more confident in my ability to do things. Sometimes I just feel like "umm there is no way I can do that", but even if I just try it's better than not doing it at all. 

I had a couple OH YEA moments, typically by Friday afternoon I would have gave in and had some ice cream, chips or something of that sort thinking that "well I did good all week" but this time I kept telling myself why undo all the hard work you did this week. It just wasn't worth it. And then my other moment was the fact that I only had 3 glasses of wine the entire weekend. I know it may sound crazy to some but for me drinking wine is a huge part of my life. And to only have 1 glass on Friday and 2 on Saturday is like a significant life change for me. I felt really good about it.

My goals for next week are to continue on the Paleo lifestyle change and learn more recipes. I want get through BTC's warm up at the Worx without stopping or at least really try. I want to continue to have the motivation that I had last week despite the challenges that are forthcoming. My goal last week was to just eat clean and stick with it and I did just that. So I think I did good, and I stuck to the plan. Even when my class had donuts, bagels, chocolate and chips all within my reach. I never once even wanted it. 

As for who is inspiring me are all the fellow journeymen that are continuing to post. It helps me out so much to see others post because that is my accountability that I need. I like having the support system. And it's been great having one of my best friend's right beside me on this journey. Tamika has been showing up and I am extremely proud of her. And my coach Flo is always there for me when I need that extra push. I am just overall really happy about being part of the Worx.

I can't wait for what is ahead for me because I know this change was much needed.
