Can't believe it 2 weeks left!!! It's all about push, push, push and giving it your all. Thought this past week was going to be less stressful and it wasn't. No matter how hard I tried to not let it get to me, my body felt the stress and I was tempted to eat nothing but junkfood. I guess that's how I use to cope with stress; it was challenging but I didn't give into that temptation. All I kept thinking all that hard work will go to waste. That's why I couldn't wait to release some stress at boot camp.
BODY: I've noticed that my endurance has gotten better. This weekend, I challenged myself to do a 5k on Saturday morning, followed by Kazaxe and Sunday my very first 8k. I've never ran back to back races before and I've never really ran past 3 miles and today I proved that I could do it, sure it took me awhile longer, but it wasn't about winning first place, it was about finishing and proving to myself that I could do it. I found my passion, runing!!! When I start running, I feel completely free, it's an amazing feeling!! Another thing I've noticed is that when my body tells me hey, I can't do this no more or hey I need a day off, then I have to give my body what it needs. That's why I ended up with a severe cold and sinus headache. I'm loving the way I'm feeling, I feel confident a bit more sexy!!
LEARNING: I've learned from my hubby, that I've become a work out addict and a health nut.
OBSERVATION: So far I'm changing for the better. Ive become more confident, more outgoing, I have more energy, my endurance is getting better, I'm becoming stronger. I've also noticed that the changes that I'm making in my life have made some relationships become stronger, some have become distant and other's well, are no longer there. I've noticed that a lot of so called friends have instead of being supportive, instead of being my cheerleader, have done nothing but hate on me and talked behind my back. It's sad situation because I'm not doing to say that I'm better than them, I'm doing this for ME and I thought that they would understand. I guess not everyone is suppose to stay in your life forever, but I am thankful for the people that I've been meeting, especially everyone that I have met and interacted in the test group. You guys are a great group of supportive people and you guys are the type of people that belong in my life.
GOALS: Well my goals for these next 2 weeks are to just push it and give it my all. To try really really really hard to not let work put stress on me. To not let anyone bring me down with their negativity. I've found a passion for running and I would love to have someone train me to become a better runner, so that I can be a better distance runner. My goal is to also drop to a size 8, at least with in 2-3 weeks, I got this!!
You are a superstar!!! I'm so glad to see that you are making that mind-body connection. Keeping yourself healthily is the number one preventative measure we can take to keep ourselves young, vibrant, and relaxed. It's amazing how sometimes we live our lives so fast that we ignore basic healthy habits. And those who don't....well, they pay for it later in life.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you are experiencing losing friends and allies in life. It happens though. Whenever we take an immediate turn in our life journey, it is inevitable that there will be some family and friends who choose or cannot go that path with you. But, it's your path and you must be strong to take that opportunity even if it means going at it alone. Remember, it's your journey and meant for you. Just appreciate those connections in the past as learning experiences and never take that negativity with you. Shake it off by seeing the positives in those relationships. It is a small world and you will undoubtedly reconnect. Ever heard the phrase---never burn bridges----this is the reason. Always shine. That's your inner beauty and positive life force.
Lastly, yes it's the last two weeks, but remember. You are part of the FIRST BOOTCAMP TEST GROUP!!! That's a new alumni group which you are forever a part of. A sub family if you will of the Kazaxe Bootcamp family. I'm humbled to be a part! It's just the beginning!!!!
Back to back races! Yahoooooooooo! Change is possible. Sounds like you do need some rest..... how you feeling now?
ReplyDeleteI second Patricia's statement. You are the average of the 5 closest people you surround yourself with ..... surrounding yourself with people who are more like the new you will help you continue your success.
