Sometimes it gets tough, but gotta keep moving

So my body right now feels pretty good, however last week it was body was in shambles, from my hip, shoulder, and foot by the end of the week. I think I need to work on listening to my body and not over do it. I keep telling myself to slow down but then I feel like a failure if I do. I am working through it, this past week has shown me that it can break you down. Literally! However now I am feeling a lot better and trying to come back strong.

I am learning more about Paleo and that it is okay to have carbs so I am trying to figure out what is going to work for my body. I love the Paleo lifestyle but I am deciding on adding back some gluten free options for a couple weeks to see if I notice a difference. So it will be more of 80/20. I found that the nutritional seminar was very informative, even the 2nd time around. As they say the more you know the better off you can be. So I am taking everything in and seeing what works for "me".

My oh yea moment was fitting into a size 8 dress this weekend!! I was so happy and elated. It made me feel good that there is some progress. It is a slow process but I know that it is making me a better person inside and out. Also, today before the Worx I decided to run nonstop for 25 mins. I did it!! My co-worker inspired me by telling me that it's all in my head and that I can do anything. He made me realize that it doesn't matter the speed or who is watching. It's about improving. He was so right. I felt so good and proud of myself. Almost felt like the moment after my surgery in 2010 when I was able to breathe without coughing. It's small, but it made me feel so good inside.
Now I did have another "oh yea" moment that is going to motivate me to push even hard. A ex co-worker saw a pic of me on facebook yesterday and had her daughter ask me if I was pregnant. I was upset but then I laughed it off because I realize that I have been working hard and want to prove not only to those that doubt me but to myself that I can do this and going to use that as a way to push even harder this last 30 days of the Journey.

My goals this week are to go to bikram, do 2 morning workouts with Tamika, and attend Friday's Worx class.

I love seeing all the Journeymen and the coaches showing up and inspiring me everyday. It makes me feel so good and happy that a few friends have finally decided to come to the Worx to see what it is all about. I have a couple more that I hope to show up this week as well. It really does help when you have that support, that is definitely why the Worx is so different from any other program. I love it!
