Good Afternoon sweeties,
Wow. I am exhausted as ever after this workout. I gave it my all and ended up burning 1,736 calories. I am very proud of myself. I am doing better and better each day. It's not all about the calories burned for me either. I have also been monitoring my heart rate and my strength, all of which are improving wonderfully as the days progress forward. Tomorrow is the last workout of the week for me which will be walking lunges, abs and 30 minute run. I am excited and ready for it because it will mark my first week completion by giving it my all each and every day. Sunday is my 1st weigh in. I am nervous but ready. I will use the results of this weigh in as a caliber: "If I work this hard I may lose this much".
Now that I am thinking about it, I am even more excited for Sunday. It's amazing when you can say that you gave your all at every workout session, that you ate right without cheating the entire week, and that you have been taking your supplements religiously. I feel pretty darn good.
To live this lifestyle I am learning that it takes a butt load of dedication, will power, motivation and discipline. Without either of these things there's no possible way you can succeed because they all work cohesively as a unit and when you have all of these traits, you will notice. Your workouts will get that much more intense (and you'll still complete them!!), your results will get that much more visible, your cravings may still arise, but you are that much more determined to fight it because you realize that cheating WILL (not may) set you back. You have a goal, stick with it. Don't let food or procrastination rule your life. YOU should be in control of YOU. YOU are responsible for YOUR actions. If I can make the change, so can any one else, it just takes a particular mindset to do so...that mindset and the ability to realize that you are doing this to better yourself. At the end of the day, thats all you have. You only get one body, why not treat it to the benefits of living a healthy lifestyle? You and I both deserve it, so work for it!
Well sweeties, that is all for today. I will check in with you all tomorrow! Please stay motivated and inspired! Have a good day.
