Overdoing it?!


Today I have felt exhausted. I drank about 120 oz of water so it is not dehydration. I have been working out frequently. This week I have worked out every morning at 5:15 with a two a day yesterday. I feel absolutely amazing during and after the workout but this afternoon I felt an extreme low. Either my healthy carb intake is low or my body going through shock. Right now I have a fire and drive to stay committed to my goal. Now I don't want to over work my muscles but I want a true body and mind change. I proclaim this is my TRANSFORMATION. Shedding the old me to a new fit, and confident me! 
And we that I end with Good Night 😏

Hubby time

Saturday I had plans for swim lessons followed by date night with hubby.  You know date night that undivided time without kiddos or other distractions.  I followed through with all plans despite my thoughts stating " I am tired, my back hurts, my back hurts, I don't want to do anything" 🙄. I am grateful for the 1:1 time spent with my husband at a lovely restaurant in La Jolla with the most spectacular view.

Followed by Sunday a celebration of the men I love 💗 cooked a nice dinner for the hubby, meal prepped (my fit mom challenge thorough my bootcamp started on Monday) and visited with my dad. Blessed by the phenomenal ambitious men in my life. 

Status on last week goals you ask?! My workout goal last week was slightly missed.  I wanted to go to boot camp 5 days and instead went 4 days, swim lessons Saturday and a 2 mile walk to subway. I am going to celebrate my success as I did stay active 5 days 🎉

This path of mine

My journey is just that a journey. Webster dictionary defines journey as  "something suggesting travel or passage from one place to another". My journey has been a bumpy inconsistent one.  Working on my health and fitness has caused me much stress and discouragement.  However, I am now focusing on my mind thorough a 6 month mindset program through my bootcamp. I am about one month into the training and it is powerful.  There are daily practices that I have integrated into my day that have reduced anxiety and made me aware of my behaviors, thoughts, and feelings that are holding me back from achieving at my fullest potential. I am learning it is ok, better yet imperative to take care of myself which is why I have made this a commitment.  If I am full I can more joyfully help myself and others. In addition, I am attending regular 5:15 am bootcamp with about 3 days a week working on 5 days a week. Next week I will also be adding a Fit Mom challenge to the formula for nutrition, mindset and workouts. I am on my journey to a better and healthier wife, mom, daughter, sister, friend and employee.
