Tis' the Season....

 And yet another month has passed by - Feels like so much happens, that I don't have the time or energy to keep y'all posted! SHOOO WHEEEE!!!

I have changed jobs!!! No more commuting over an hour each way to work, hours on end of missing time with my son, having to get up at 3AM to workout or attempt to, and the list goes on and on....

I now GET to get up at 6:30AM, spend a lot more time with "the boy", only work 4 hrs a day at the local school district, and be able to be on break when my son is! WHAT FREEDOM!! 

Now I will have more time to devout to improving myself, encouraging others on their journey, just being more CONSISTENT with my own journey - what an EXCITING time this is...

Here's to a GREAT year - starting today - NOT the 1st of the year... you can start your journey today!

Is it really OCTOBER????

 Is it REALLY OCTOBER 2022 already???!!!!

HOLY MOLY CANOLI!!!! I haven't written since Aug? THIS is NOT ok.  There is so much that needs to be said and written down and get out. 

This journey of health is such a MENTAL game it's not even funny! I've been in a really dark place mentally for a little while. I don't know why or where it has come from, but I know that I need to come up out of the darkness. I just know I have to stay regular on my meds, get my mindset right, back on plan, and workout consistently.

I need to get back the mindset AND belief that I can do this - no matter what! And it's not even about competing...  When I started this journey, it was just about getting healthy and losing weight. I need to take the pressure off myself of THE STAGE and just get back to wanting to be healthy and live longer. Back to the basics I go and not get so far ahead of myself or get caught up in the other athletes that I follow, I lose sight of what I'm doing for myself. I am finding myself being jealous or envious or wishful thinking - I don't know what to call it - but I have to stop and focus on what I am doing for myself. 

The Basics that I need to keep in mind:

1. Be Positive

2. Be Consistent - on eating plan - NO CHEATS - workouts

3. Be Mindful - writing goals, thoughts, struggles, triumphs

4. Get PLENTY of REST - go to bed no later than 8:30pm

5. Drink ALL my water - 1+ gallons

6. Spend plenty of time with Jesus

Hello August!!!

 Is it really Aug. 3rd already???

How did I miss July???  OH MY!!! THAT is crazy!!

It's been crazy! I've been really digging deep in exploring as to why I have overeaten and used food for comfort here lately.... it's been actually emotional. Self-discovery is part of one's growth and changing into something better - a better version of yourself.

So, that's what I've been doing... reflecting, digging, figuring stuff out, and giving a lot of my past hurts and traumas over to God to heal from the inside.

I'm seeing more consistency with myself with working out at 3am EVERY MORNING!!! Now, if I can stay consistent on my meal plan - the weight should be FLYING off my body... 

It's all in the process and changes...

Here's to August and seeing what we can do!

Progress in the Making....

 Hellooooo ALMOST July!!!

How is everyone doing getting through the summer? I know that it's almost July and the summer is just FLYING by! 

How are we doing on our journey of fitness??? I'm doing ok, can be better and I'm DOING better! Baby steps right? 

What is ONE THING that you can change TODAY to be one step closer to a healthier reality? More water? No sugar? Meal Prep? Workout? Change your MINDSET? Do the work to heal from past hurts?

Mine: just being consistent in waking up at 3am - put my workout clothes on - and workout! ALLLLLL in my mindset... My coach told me to get out of my own way... and she's right? Are you in your own way in order to achieve your goals??

Progress....

 Hey there!  How are we doing on our health journey???

I've been doing pretty good! This week was a little tough mentally to stay on track, but we are doing it! Only ONE day that I was off plan, due to waking up CRAZY late for work and didn't have the opportunity to pack up my meals! UGH! I hate it when THAT happens!!

How is your mindset? How are you handling pressures that life throws your way?

KEEP GOING!!!
