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 :)
