I think I see Progress!!!!

July 7, 2015/in Blog, Train Mean /by Jenelle Summers

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

July 7, 2015/in Blog, Fitness Inspiration, Live Fit, Train Mean /by Jenelle Summers

I 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.

Fitness Challenge

July 7, 2015/in Blog /by Jenelle Summers

I know this is NO BIG DEAL☺ but I’m posting it for those people who like challenges & haven’t tried this yet. I saw Elizabeth Bland do it, then I saw Mindy Lawhorne and I just assumed I wasn’t strong enough since my first attempt was a disaster! But like anything, it’s about practice & I learned it’s more about positioning & BALANCE.

Prove Them Wrong

July 6, 2015/in Blog, Inspiration /by Jenelle Summers

We are capable of 100x more than we realize; we’re sometimes just way too hard on ourselves to fathom what’s really possible OR too impatient to see the fruits of our own labor.

You set yourself apart when you show you’re willing to walk thru the fire, be uncomfortable, vulnerable, lost and overwhelmed at times, & incredibly resilient. Right?

No one becomes successful without enduring struggles or SERIES of failures & setbacks – it’s only fuel to their fire!

Prove to yourself & others you can accomplish whatever you set your mind & ACTIONS to!

I’m on it! Are you?!

Did you fit a workout in today?

July 6, 2015/in Train Mean /by Jenelle Summers

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!
