Man oh man...

I'm going to admit it.  The past few weeks have been super tough on me.  Physically, mentally and emotionally.  I fell off the radar at the gym.  I was going every now and then, but not the 2-a-days I was doing before.  I wasn't feeling motivated or challenged.  I felt like I was going through the same movements day in and day out.  I wasn't feeling like myself.  So I tried to get back into swimming only realizing that the gym STILL isn't treating their pool properly.  I got the biggest breakout all over my body from whatever chemicals they are/aren't using in their pool.  Gross!

So as my alarm went off at 4 this morning, I laid there thinking, either I can join the rest or be one of the best.  That's when I jumped out of bed, threw on my gym clothes and walked out the door.  I didn't start this to be just another statistic or to be someone who just does it because she's supposed to.  I started because this is who I am.  This is who I want to be.  And this is how I will become better. 

I wish everyone a fabulous day!!!

Sometimes you have to learn the hard way

The past few weeks haven't been kind to me as I told you guys in the last entry. One major thing was my food intake. I thought sneaking in a couple of carbs during the day would help with my performance at the gym. It could have if they weren't the wrong kind of carb. I know I'm gluten and wheat intolerant, but apparently I'm also intolerant to any kind of grains, oats, rice (brown included), etc. I was so puffed up for days! I just couldn't get a grip bit was the most frustrating thing ever. So now I'm back at my basics. Lean animal proteins, veggies and 1 fruit a day (usually in the morning). But ever since I stopped the grains, I feel semi normal again. Listen to your body. It knows what you need and what you don't need. 

Have the sweetest of dreams!

It's been a minute

July just hasn't been our month. The past few weeks have been crazy. My food intake has been all over the place, I've taken the past 3 days off from the gym and my hormones have gone buck wild! Did I mention my honey threw his back out doing straight leg dead lifts? 

There IS light at the end of the tunnel and things are progressively getting better. Today we start back on track with the food and tomorrow starts back the 2 a days. With all this rest I've had, I feel refreshed and ready to take on new challenges!

It has become quite comical

The one thing that I notice every few weeks is the crazy way my body transforms itself. When I stand in the mirror and look at my results so far, I feel like a prepubescent teenager.  Misshaped in all the wrong places. But the few days after aren't so bad. But this is what's going to happen if I want to reach my goals! 

Have a safe and beautiful weekend. 

Another holiday has come and gone

i have decided to change up my workout schedules on my days off. I usually only wake up at 4 a.m. Tuesday through Friday to get to the gym by 5. Now I've decided to throw Monday in there as well. It doesn't do me any good to get to the goals I want if I just slack off. I can always take a nap later, right?!

No matter what

Always push yourself. Don't listen to that little voice in the back of your head that says "no more"!  Your body is capable of the burn, the push. Don't you owe it to yourself to do just that?
