This morning as I was driving to work I was having a moment of prayer, and as I reached the corner of Westwind and Escondido, I was very blessed to see this. It was so enchanting that I had to take a picture. When I was sitting there waiting for the light to change I was thinking to myself. "what are the chances that I can sit here long enough to capture what I am seeing?" and I took the chance. I am glad that I did.
My entire journey with this program was me taking a chance to reach my fitness goals, and I was worried that I may not make it to the end, in fact I am still not there. I still have a few days left. But I made a promise to myself that if I was to become a coach that I would give this challenge 100%. So far I have been true to my word. I have been able to pull out that inner strength that I thought I had lost. I found the discipline that I needed so much for this challenge that for the entire year of 2013 I had struggled so much to find. I believe becoming a Team Beachbody coach gave me that reason fight. Knowing that I had to be accountable to myself as well as to the new members of my team, really forced me to find my strength. I have to say for that I am grateful.
Today was good day. My mood was off because I had a lot of stress at my job. I got home feeling a bit drained and discouraged. It wasn't really an option though for me to miss my workout so I got to it. I really pushed myself on the lower fix. It was quite strenuous and I got through all of the leg exercises with the fifteen pound weights. Curtsy lunges, and sumo squats were tough but I got through the entire workout, even though it burned.
My food was on target, I have to say I wish I had packed another red container portion of meat instead of the eggs because towards the end of the day I was hungry and the meat satisfies me more than the eggs. I did save one egg for the evening so I had a late breakfast. I love eating breakfast anytime of the day. I ate it with spinach mixed into it, along with a slice of toasted Ezekial flaxseed bread.
Food was prepped for tomorrow. I also began prepping food for the three day quick fix which is a series of small meals that have to be eaten throughout the day the last three days of the program. I bought a ton of vegetables, and meat, which I began washing and cutting up in pieces. Blueberries were on sale at Sprouts so I bought two large containers. When I saw them I was like a child in a candy store because blueberries are expensive. My vanilla Shakeology I mixed with fruit to change it up a bit. In all honesty, my favorite flavor is chocolate and I have some heading my way because I just ordered another thirty day supply. But for the three day fix I am not going to have any.
All in all today was a good day. I came to many realizations and I am happy to share them with you. I want to announce that I am putting a small group together for a 21 Day Fix Challenge group starting the second of June. If you are interested in participating please fill out my online form. Spaces are limited.
