Well after my disaster weekend of eating last week for Easter I got back on track and feeling good. Weekends are still difficult for me but I am getting better with not getting too overboard and erasing all my hard work from the week. I have to keep telling myself that it is only sabotaging myself at the end. Is it even worth it? So now I'm focusing on not letting it defeat me and my goals of becoming a healthier and stronger person.
My body feels stronger and definitely sore. I'm not sure if either I am pushing harder in class or if the instructors are making it harder lol. All I know if my body is like WTF! But all in a good way. The foam roller is becoming my best friend. I also have been stretching a lot more which it is amazing how much of a difference it makes. I have noticed that my endurance is getting so much better now. I was able to run without stopped last Friday and it felt so freaking good. I was just like, man never thought it would be me because it's something that I have always envied of others that run. I am so fascinated by it and find it amazing when I see people running. I'm a getting there slowly but surely. I guess that was an "oh yea" moment.
My other "oh yea" moment was looking at my pic from the very beginning of the Journey to now. It is amazing to actually see your results visually. Just proof that pics don't lie. I can say this makes me proud of my hard work that I have been putting in.
My goals this week are to continue to go to class, drink my water, stretch 15 mins a day even on my off days (it will be a challenge but I need to do it).
People who are inspiring me, I would have to say Danielle is showing up in a tremendous way. I see her putting in the work everytime I see her and from her post. She motivates me so much. She even suggested we take professional pics once we get to our goal and I think it is completely awesome! Also Nicole is a showing up and showing me that even through adversity and challenges she is pushing through. I was in a group with her last week and as much as I wanted to give up she helped me push through it. It was awesome. This Journey has taught me alot about myself and I love it.
Look at you!! You look great! I am so proud of you for sticking with it! We all have rough days, and I think its our ability to bounce back from them that makes all the difference. Not letting bad days defeat you will definitely get you closer to your goal! It is so great to see you in class! You keep me motivated too! :) Keep going, you got this!!
