Today is day 4 of the 30 day shred for me (Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred). OHMyGOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!
I can stand upright and walk with effort and I can sit down with a lot
more effort, LOL! But I got to tell you, even with my muscles in revolt
for what I am doing to them, I feel pretty good. Even in the face of NOT
being able to do a single girlie push-up, I mean to tell you, NOT 1! I feel pretty good! My goal
is to be able to do at least 1 girlie push-up by the end of this first 30
days, I'll keep you posted!. I have heard that muscles have memory. If that's the case then doing the "30 Day Shred "is like standing there with an assault weapon in my hand and demanding my poor muscles to remember what they use to be like. It is that brutal, but oh so good!!! I was foolishly thinking that I would be
able to continue on with my Zumba during my first week of the 30 day
shred, high aspirations I tell you! I think I may be able to fit it in
on Friday... I hope! I love Zumba so I am really missing it!
All in all life is GOOD! I am just so excited about this journey I am on. I am excited about the people who are on this journey with me... my lovely Fitopia Gurlz. I am so amazed at what we have all accomplished so far. I am so proud of the changes that are taking place in each of our lives... spirit, soul and body! We are some seriously amazing women, a definite force to be reckon with! I can't wait to see the results of round 2.

As I think about the changes I have made personally over the last few months, I have come to some pretty cool conclusions... There is something about choosing to be in control of
myself and my choices and getting to make the changes that I want to
make. Those changes include being the BEST ME I can be. I GET to choose this! Once
that really sunk in, I was like... HECK YES! I can do this! It's going to
take some time but, I got this. There will be some bumps in the road but, I
GOT THIS!!! I will reach my goal weight because I CAN and I WANT TO!!!
That's it! Taking it one day at a time, choosing my thoughts, not
focusing on what was or even what I don't want to be anymore, over
weight and unhealthy. I just keep putting my goals in front of me daily
and pressing towards them. Eventually I will see all that I am steadily
working towards, isn't that AWESOME! I truly think so!

I have started taking baths with Epsom salts for sore muscles. I know they have been around forever, but I just discovered their wonderfullness!! I can be hurting like crazy and take a hot bath before bed and feel like a different person in the morning! I'm more of a shower girl, so I don't always think of it right away, but every time I do, it works. FYI.....
ReplyDeleteI think you are going to need to introduce me to Jillian....I want to hurt! I love that feeling. In the moment you are like 'AHHHHH'.....but the entire time it hurts it is a reminder of your successful steps toward your achievements!!!! So proud of you.
