The Journey Continues

No matter how hard it gets I'm in it to WIN it! The last 2 weeks has been very difficult, busy and crazy- all of that equals EXCUSES. Last week I did little to no exercise. I have to find a goal for me to focus on. Goals give me a direct target. I'm going to look into doing a 5k race. I don't know if I will walk, run or walk/run but that would give me a target. I need a focus point. I find when I have goals in front of me I tend to work harder and much better.

On Monday, I will start INSANITY and I will stick to it. What I know about myself, I prefer going out to exercise. I like going outside, to the gym or to classes. When I'm home it takes a real effort on my part to load the DVD and workout. I know that sounds silly but when I'm in the company of others I work better. I don't necessary have to workout with someone but just seeing other people working out pushes me.

Well I have to get over that and get on program with Insanity. I spent good money on the product and it is a good program therefore I need to complete the challenge. I will complete my INSANITY CHALLENGE! Join me as I reach my goals! Good luck to all of you.

POOW NOW- Insanity Slow down

I had to take a few days off from Insanity; my body needed a break. I somehow hurt my foot and it has been killing me. Insanity is intense and because of my hurt back and not foot I needed to step away for a moment. I had to substitute some other things in place of Insanity. I will start Insanity again on Monday. The blessed part of being alive is you always have an opportunity to start over.

You can have a do-over and keep on moving. I'm not upset because part of this journey is to learn how to listen to my BODY and I'm learning. I'm so excited about getting healthy that I can't stop talking about it. I have notice so many little things about myself and food. This is an opportunity of a lifetime and I'm ALL in! To all of you out there get in with both feet and the rest will come as you progress on your way. As an old adage says "When the student is ready the teacher will appear" and I believe this with my whole heart so I'm in. What about you? Trust yourself, push yourself but most of all encourage yourself.
