Hard work is all that I have to say. I have made it this far in the program and I am past that halfway mark. I am not going to lie the workouts have not been easy. They have been tough and I have had to really push myself. Even in the moments when I have to stop for a second I remind myself in less of a second that it's only one minute, so I push through to the end no matter what. Even if I stopped for five to ten seconds I jump back in there and finish because that's what it takes to succeed on this or any program. Pushing yourself beyond what you're used to is the name of the game. I have been pushing hard since January and it has been challenging all the way.
After work today I was feeling a bit down for some reason. I am not really sure why or where the feelings were coming from. For a few moments I looked around my room and I said to myself that I didn't want to do anything. As though my body had control over my mind I put on my exercise outfit. I got past whatever funk I had going on and I started my workout. I was so happy that I made that choice because after I was done I felt amazing. I felt as though I conquered whatever bad feelings I had prior to working out and laid it to rest.
Today was Cardio Fix and it was just as tough as the first time I did it. I love that these workouts are designed to keep your body guessing. So I got through with a major sweat, and I was feeling great. I had my serving of shakeology afterwords, and when my daughter Gloria got home from school I invited her to do a Brazilian Butt Lift workout with me. The reason that I invited my daughter to workout with me is because she has the tendency to be very stressed and exercise helps her to relieve it. She is very much like me in the sense that she needs an outlet for that stress and through exercise it's perfect.
Food today was on point. I came into this personal challenge with every intention of committing to it, and up until now I have remained true to it. Food choices for the day were papaya, blueberries, strawberries, cucumbers, spinach, 96% lean beef, eggs, cheddar cheese, broccoli, olives, water, coffee, Ezekial flaxseed bread, and Shakeology. Water consumption today was also on point.
The best part of my day today was getting the changes in my body noticed. I attended a birthday party for my daughter's friend this evening and everyone was noticing the changes in my body. One lady that I saw on Thanksgiving was feeling my arms and telling me how much I have changed since then. It was such a wonderful experience to be able to feel confident about myself and only at the halfway point. I can't even imagine what it will be like at day 21. Trust me I cannot wait.
Well I am very tired at this point, tomorrow starts the cycle over again but this time I will be pampering my sister for her birthday along with the help of the kids.
