I'm still going strong...towards end of my journey!

First, my apologies. It has been weeks since I last posted. Things in my life became super busy between work, board committments, and keeping up with my workouts. Although I have not written, I can say that I have continued to lose weight and inches which I am very happy about.

B-my body is feeling great. I feel strong. I was able to do the type of push-ups where you push yourself off the ground. My arms and legs def. have gotten stronger which is great. I can tell my thighs got a bit smaller.

L-I learned that my coach continues to be amazing and doesn't just talk the talk. Flo works out twice in a day sometimes and is super dedicated to herself. Its been well over a year and she remains consistent. Having my friends at the WorX is also very helpful. I can see their improvements.

O-I tend to always have a problem with this one because I can be so critical of myself. It can be a challenge to celebrate my success even if its a small one. I guess I could say that I am happy that I always attempt level 3 moves first.  I don't like to back down from a challenge and I enjoy pushing myself.

G-My goal is to continue on my own journey. Even though this is our official last week of the 60 Day Journey....I am choosing to live every day as though I am on the WorX journey.  I may continue with a blog and just have it to share as I continue with my own journey. I also plan to continue weighing and measuring myself every couple of weeks.

S-Those who have been "Showing up" and inspiring me are Hector, Flo, Maia, Jackie, Nathalie, Stephanie, Ashley, Tamika, Tina, and Danielle



This journey has def. motivtated me and it has become a part of my life. When I have to miss a workout due to work committements I get very upset LOL  my week is just thrown off when I miss workouts. My hope is to keep up this habit which will keep me going and eventually reach my final goal :)

Week 2 Down.....Lets get ready for Week 3

So my 2nd week did not go as planned. I was able to workout last Monday (1/14) but after that unfortunately, I started to get sick. I was out for days feeling absolutely terrible and was not able to workout the rest of week 2 and not happy about it. I was afraid of the setback I would experience and was a little down.....and I let that mess with my mind. I had a few moments during week 2 where I def. did not even think or care about what I was eating. (ugh not good)

By the end of the week I found myself slowly coming out of this cloud of sickness lol and really missing The WorX bootcamp classes. I had to just let go of any negative messages I was filling my head with. I've dusted myself off.......and my mind is like GO!

Its now officially Week 3 of my 60 Day Journey. Class today was a bit difficult. I still have a little cough that is lingering around....but my mind is clear. I am so ready to kick ass in bootcamp and get back to planning my meals for the week. Week 1 went so well for me and I want to get back to that. I have goals that I want to reach so staying focused is a must.

I love having my fellow Journeyfolk in class, especially Hector and Nathalie. They definitely motivate me :) And thanks Flo (coach) for sending me messages and checking in on me. 

Looking forward to Week 3!!!!

Here we go...2nd round of the 60 Day Challenge

This is my first week of my 60 day challenge. No....I am no stranger to this journey. In the summer I started and completed the first time I did the challenge. I was amazed at the results. I felt stronger, healthier and was looking great. I had lost 19 lbs so going back to work I was feeling invincible. 

Well unfortunately, little by little I was falling back into those bad habits. It became so difficult to balance work and the ability to eat healthier. Working as a school counselor at a high school definitely has its ups and downs and although I love what I do....there are really high expectations of me from parents, students, colleagues, and the school system. I got so busy that I stopped having my snacks in between breakfast and lunch, eventually would have days where my breakfast was just a cup of coffee. Now I know I probably should have prepared and planned my meals in advanced but that has always been my downfall. 

Here I am now....over 4 months since I had those amazing results the first I time did my 60 day journey. I have NOT gained all the weight back which I am happy with but I also KNOW that I def. DID gain some back. I REFUSE to go back to where I started. Now is the time for me to get it right. I may have Fallen but I am not defeated....I will move forward. I will learn from my past, my mistakes and in the end....I WILL achieve my goals.

This 2nd time around will def. be a much bigger challenge for me. I thought I had it tough the first half of the school year....yea right...its the 2nd half that is even more difficult and super busy. If I can get through this journey successfully and incorporate all I will learn into my life I will be one happy person :)
