Time to Get Uncomfortable

As I sit here thinking about the things in life that have weighted me down at one point or other in my life...I cannot help but think that those things also helped me learn. Once you can establish the things that are weighing you down or holding you back at that moment you decide to free yourself is the time in which you start to flourish and fly towards better things.

I struggled with my nutrition, a few medical issues, and working out during MM100, but, I finished. I learned so many interesting things about my body and sheer existence during that program it help mold me into a better person. I may have only lost 5.7 pounds, 4.75 inches while others lost a lot more. We must remember that comparison is the death of joy. So I celebrate the fact that I was able to do what I did with what was going on in my life those 4 months.

After getting thru Thanksgiving and Christmas the endless food days at work...I started 2020 with a 3 day refresh. A complete detox of all the "crap" food I was on the path of eating. It is there where I saw the joy again with eating clean foods, showing my kids that greens are good, carbs may be enjoyed, but not over indulged. Teaching myself again along with my little ones the importance of balance. During those 3 days I was able to shed 3.5 pounds and 2.5 inches. Whoop.

Now I am onto my next adventure of a program that honestly I was not jumping for joy about, however, I knew I wanted to focus on mobility, low impact activity, whiling gaining lean muscle. After only the first week of Barre Blend I am feeling a difference in my body. I am standing taller, I am gaining confidence that I once had back. I am feeling my muscles work in a way that is needed right now in my life. I need my core and back to continue to gain strength as my kids are getting bigger and well heavier...hahah.

Are you ready to adventure out of your comfort zone? Stepping out of your comfort zone is where change happens...it's where you find me...so lets go. lets do this...Time to get uncomfortable
