For many on this journey this will sound familiar.... Fell off the wagon again. Didn't really lose ground but was not working out as much as I should, lost my mojo and just was not "feeling it".
Spartan looming, races coming up and just wasn't feeling it.
WHY?
Work pressure are INSANE are the biggest one. I leave work so mentally fried the last thing I want to do is cook, prep, workout.
But that is the thing..... when I am on track, when I eat right and work out I sleep better. This hel.s me manage the stress better.
Yet I still got off-track and stopped making me a priority.
So what has me working at it again? (Aside from my Spartan is 3 weeks from today..) Had someone tell me how much I was inspiring them and they missed my post. Had another person tell me they could tell just looking at me that I seemed to be hanging on by a thread. Had the inner thigh of my favorite jeans blow out. (Come on my lady friends.... you know this sucks- mind you they were about 7 years old so really overdue but dammit)
So yesterday was gym and a long walk.
Today I will be getting outside again. And tomorrow.
Thankfully I have not gotten far off track and the scale/measurements are the same. (Actually while the scale is up 3 pounds, muscle mass is up 4 so thank you pushup challenge. Cuz yeah- MY DAMN CHEST MEASUREMENTS ARE UP. Sorry, not where I want to see gains lol...you will understand if you have ever seen pics of me.)
Took this first picture last night on my walk- Spring is in full bloom and it is time for new beginnings.
The second is me and the kid on Mother's day (my "now") and the last is me 3 years ago. This is where I want to be back to. I am not that far off weight/measurement wise but the drive and "Headspace" is where I need to get to.
Like Yoda said.... "There is no try, there is only do or not do". Gotta DO IT!
