What happens when you get a wrench thrown in to your game plan? Do you whine and complain? Throw a fit like a 2 yr old? Or do you just give up without even trying?! My choice has been to push right through it. I have learned to modify and adjust to be able to push through just about everything that could possibly be thrown at me in the last 7 months. I mean really, we don't lay there on the delivery table and get away with saying.. "I'm out! That's it .. I'm going home now." We push through and get the job done. So why do we think that it's ok to do it with our health? It's because that is what we know. What we are used to. Think about it for a second.. We have all quit on ourselves at least once without even knowing we're doing it. Excuse is just a bigger word for quit. We teach our kids to never quit, don't give up, give everything you've got and do your best! Be the Best you can be.... When is it time to take our own advice.
The new 8 week BeautyFit Bootcamp started last week. I knew going in that I was going to have a mental struggle this time around. I know my body can and will do all the things that Sandra wants it to so now it's time to test my mental will power. Use whatever words you want.. Push, Pull, Drag, Throw, Jump.... but they all need to equal up to wrapping my head around these 8 weeks and focusing on what needs to get done. I have already accomplished so much and I just need to get through this little mental block. 31 days smoke free, 5 years Doritos and sour cream free and a whole bunch of weight and inches free. Those were big hurdles for me. Now I see them as speed humps. They were just big enough to irritate me and slow me down but not big enough to stop me from getting to my destination.
I'm human and I'm working on myself daily inside and out. I will never be "finished" because there is no fat lady to sing at the end of this for me. I know what my body can do on the outside... Now it's time to push the inside and see how far THAT will go. "Strength comes from within" means more than you will ever know some days.
Through all of this, mental meltdowns will occur. So if you see me laying there in my own sweat and tears, just hand me a kleenex and move on, I'll get over it.
