I think I see Progress!!!!

You know me.. I don’t post bikini pics, BUT.. I think I see progress! I know it’s not much & you may not see it, but I know my body & I do!

I don’t lose weight fast because I’ve been eating pretty clean & working out hard for YEARS (because I *do* have to work for it), & I’m not willing to go to extremes, not willing to do anything I can’t realistically maintain long-term, not willing to skip meals … I just want to always improve my eating, my strength, my flexibility, & my confidence.. So that I’m the best mom, wife & person I can be.

I know if I do the right things consistently, the results will fall into place over time. I’ll surely fall off-track at times & need to make adjustments at times. I have a BIG appetite & tend to eat even when I’m not hungry at all. It’s a journey for me as it is anyone else. My health & fitness is a high priority.. but looking a certain, specific way is not the goal.. It’s more fun when the resulting aesthetics are just an added bonus.

Being in the CIZE test group & following the meal guidelines has given me the accountability I needed to dial in to my nutrition & enjoy some FUN cardio sessions

I never said I was good at Yogi right?

I read this quote by Pema Chodron.. What are your thoughts?

“Personal discovery and growth come from letting there be room for all things to happen: room for grief, for relief, for misery, for joy.
Suffering comes from wishing things were different. Let the hard things in life break you. Let them affect you. Let them change you. Let the hard moments inform you. Let this pain be your teacher. The experiences of your life are trying to tell you something about yourself. Don’t cop out on that. Don’t run away and hide under your covers. Lean into it. What is the lesson in the wind? What is the storm trying to tell you? What will you learn if you face it with courage, with full honesty and lean into it?”

What I do

strenght trainI strength train 4-6 days/week depending on the week & how busy or sore I am.

Some days my strength training might just be core (along w/my cardio).

You just shouldn’t strength train the same muscle groups on consecutive days…

They need to repair/recover the day after they were trained.

Did you fit a workout in today?

I guess this is my workout-crushed stance!
It’s amazing how you can feel SO sluggish from stress, food-overload, dehydration or lack of sleep -all of which I was guilty of today ..then workout and boom! A whole new attitude & perspective emerges!
