my body feels the same as it did a few weeks ago. i don't feel stronger or lighter than i did at the beginning of the 60 days. i feel like i still struggle through the workouts. i do enjoy the workouts and i do enjoy going to the worx but i am just not feeling like i am making any significant progress.
even with the blah feeling i have today, i have learned a lot from my fellow journey "crew". i have learned that people in this group are some of the most committed bad-ass people i have ever met. people show up, they sweat, that post pictures they blog, and they don't quit. the women and men in this group rock. i am so excited for all that they have been able to accomplish. this group, including the coaches want to make change.
change is happening all the time. whether you are ready for it or not, change happens. sometimes its for the best and sometimes, you just have to roll with the punches. i can honestly say that i have worked out more times in 6 weeks than i have in 6 months. THAT change, feels good. i don't see the change in terms of weight loss or strength gained but it feels great to be moving again. that's big change for me. for 8 months before starting the journey, i sat, sat, sat, and sat some more. for me, change has been good and i know that nothing feels better than being mentally alive and physically moving again!
although i don't feel like i am making the progress i expected, i do celebrate...i celebrate my life because it's been one heck of a ride!
see you at the worx tonight!
Sometimes its hard to see how far you've come because you are your worst critic...so I'm here to tell you that YOU and all the journey folks that you have CHANGED both mentally and physically for the better! Anyone that knows me, knows that I would tell you the truth. And sometimes when I push you its because I know you CAN do more and you DO:) Cheers to you for working out more than you have for the past 6 months!
ReplyDeleteCourtney you should be proud of yourself because you are living a different life than you were before. Like Maia always tells us, "you do you". :) Trust me I sometimes struggles thru my workouts but something inside me just won’t quit. Like you I want to enjoy my life and this journey has reprioritized it. Before Layla it was all about me then she came along and took over my life (in a good way though). I was so focused on being a good mommy that I totally forgot about me. This journey has taught me that its important that I take care of myself. And that is what you are doing now. You have Flo, Jennifer, Mariela, Ashley, and the rest of the coaches. I mean they have been at this for a long time and they still are working hard. So I know that this is lifetime commitment. So you are on the right path. See you at the Worx.
