Week 2:The Misery Continues

The misery continues for me. Yes, I said it. Misery! Why? Well, not only am I rehabbing a busted shoulder, I ended up out for the count due to a sinus infection. You don't really appreciate the way your body breathes naturally until you feel like your suffocating. Ugh! Geez, this is beginning to sound like one long bitch. On the bright side, my clothes are beginning to feel roomier so that's definitely a sign of hope I needed after this crappy beginning to my Journey.

I definitely learned that my body is fighting me with all these changes. Not just with the healthier eating and working out but damn this climate. At least I'm fighting back! And I got Ashley to help me out! 

i feel like my only success this week is that though i was out of commission for a few days, at least I got my ass back to the WorX. I could have just called this whole week a bust and stayed in bed but I didn't!

Yet again, I failed with my goal of planning again. I'm blaming being sick. I won't lie but when I'm that sick, I can't stomach food. So my goal for this weekend is to sit down and plan out my food for the coming week, buy groceries and get to prepping. Honestly, I've been fine but I know once I re-introduce bread back into my diet, I'm going to need to focus.

This week's inspiration award goes to Flo! Florencia, I remember when we did the first "Journey". Woman, look at you now! You just keep going forward and I have to commend you on that. Your success reminds that if you keep the course, success is attainable! 

Week 1: The Beginning

This first week was one hell of a challenge for me. Before I signed up for the Journey, I had made a goal for myself that I would not eat rice, pasta/noodles, bread or processed snacks (like fiber bars, granola bars, crackers, etc.) because they are my go to foods everyday. I eat some type of bread weather it be a wrap, Arnold's thin or a sandwich everyday and sometimes, rice or pasta for dinner also! It was too much and I had to do something about it. Because of this drastic change, I was constantly tired and worn but 2pm! On top of this, I somehow managed to fall down a flight of stairs in my house and landed on my shoulder on the first day of the Journey. So between feeling exhausted all the time and barely being able to put weight on my shoulder...I was miserable but I kept going to class and working.

I dreaded starting the Journey simply because I felt that I was starting all over again and that I was going to do some of the crazy moves I used to do. Luckily, I'm not that far away from where I was 6 months ago but I still have a way to go to get back into fighting shape! I know Ashley is going to help me get there!

As weird as this may sound, my celebration is that I didn't give up on my goal. No matter how great that cake or sandwich looked, I stayed strong and did not give into temptation.

My goal for this week was to plan my meals ahead, whether it was daily or weekly. Unfortunately, I failed at this. I just didn't make the time to plan anything. So, I'm trying again. Either I'll cook somethings for the week or I'm going to wake up early and pack my food for the day.

My inspiration to start this journey is my partner in crime, Tracye. She always know how to push and motivate me to keep going!
