Lifestyle Changes Week 1

Week One for me is always the hardest. It takes me forever to get the hang of implementing a new diet plan but I am rather good at pushing through workouts ( with modifications.)

This past week I continually pressed play. 

I pressed play when I didn't want to. 

I kept going as tears poured down my face. 

I pressed play at the first sign of bruising.

I pressed play when my entire body was exhausted. 

I pressed play day after day.

Even as Week 2 started today, I pressed play. I tried not to cry since my little boys were home. I still used modifications. In the shower I noticed the bruises. Bruises on my thighs, arms, calves, and back I knew the program was too much. I knew I hadn't hit all those places.  I couldn't continue to press play for another two weeks and bruise continually. After some more tears, I put 21 Day Fix Extreme on the back burner for now. 

I pressed play for a second time today and completed Total Body Cardio fix for the 21 Day Fix plan. I am excited. I was tired and still modified on one exercise but the difference was that I felt a good sore. Not a sore that was going to inhibit the rest of my day. 

Listen to your body. Don't allow your feelings of inadequacy or weakness to continue to push you. I was on a path that was going to lead to injury. One day I will be ready for the program but for now I will focus on becoming healthier.
