Gotta keep going!

Overall last week was a pretty good week. I was able to make good food choices and doubled my workouts twice last week..even tripled it one day. It was a bit tough to get all my calories in for those days since it required more but I would rather it that way than to exceed my daily goals. The weeks prior weren't that great so I was dedicated to continue forward and not undo the progress I've made thus far. I have to remind myself that this is a lifestyle change and I just have to keep going. This past weekend I spent with my family for Easter. Before hitting the road, I made it a point to get to the WorX. I knew Easter dinner would consist of heavy food choices but I watched my portions and tried to stay on track for the rest of the weekend. Just the fact that I got to the WorX and didn't throw away all of my discipline is a step forward.

My body isn't nearly as sore as it used to be. The Recovery drink makes a huge difference and I know my body is most definitely getting used to the high intensity. As a matter of fact, I make it a priority to workout at least 6 days a week. Hitting the gym for 30 minutes before meeting with friends or getting to the WorX before going elsewhere have been priorities and have become part of my day to day routine.

My "Oh Yea" moment last week had to be the changes I notice in my form and my strength. Week to week I can push a little more and go a little further or faster as I work towards my goals. I remember the day when the 5 pound weights felt like air to me when doing strength work. I don't have guns of steel quite yet (ahem...Maia, Jackie...LOL), but I do feel the 10 pound weights slowly getting easier to press as well. 

I am continually motivated by Danielle. It's amazing to see how many of us she actually motivates on a weekly basis. I have joined the early morning double work out club and while I had all intentions of putting double workouts in the rotation, knowing that Danielle has made this a part of her routine helps me to follow suit. Sarah and Nina are also motivators and as I have the urge to roll back over and go to bed, I remember my fellow coaches and journeymen that are up as well. 

I honestly love the positivity and support that the WorX provides. Everyone is pushing towards their own goals and each of the coaches has their own stories to share and challenges they have overcome. Hard to believe it's almost the halfway point of this Journey, even more of a reason to push myself harder to see the right results.
