Bring it on, Week 2

Week 1 is done.  Let's go Week 2! 

B - Week one was a wake up call for my body.  Literally everything hurt; I would come back from the Worx and plop down on my mat and foam roller... you know how you are supposed to wait at any spot where there is pain?  Um, yeah - I stopped along every square inch of my body... But I even though I was sore for most of the week, I already notice some positive changes:  I feel lighter and looser in my body, am less bloated, and a lot less stiff.  Woot! 

L - On fitness: I've learned that my mind says no before my body does.  There have been a couple moments of exhaustion, where I really did have to stop; but there are lots more more moments where I think something is too hard before I've even tried it.  Working on an attitude of YES, I can.  On nutrition: I've learned that I have to make time and room to cook and prepare my meals for the whole week ahead of time if this is going to be a sustainable lifestyle change.  I spent Week 1 doing veggie juicing and eating a lot of small minimeals that didn't require cooking.  But I have to make the effort to cook real meals that are healthy and balanced.  

O - Felt amazing to stop and think for a minute that this is really happening, that right now, with each day bad habits are being/going to be broken and good ones are being formed instead.  Feel a real sense that I can win; oh yeah, it's happening.  For real.    

G - A couple of goals for the week.  First, I've been remiss on updating my nutrition so my goal is to post my food at least once daily.  Also - in Week 1, I did 4 sessions at the Worx and 1 elliptical workout on my own.  For Week 2, I want to get 5 sessions at the Worx.

S - Every day I walk into the Worx, I feel like I'm among friends, like I'm with people I've known for ages, when in reality we met a week ago!  I think that is an amazing testament to the good will and energy of the coaches and team members at the Worx - am very grateful to get to be a part of it. Also - I am totally loving the inspiration on food prep and meal planning from lots of other team mates on the Journey.  Thanks guys.
