Taking Breaks

I discovered that it is not the best idea to take a week break from The Shred and then jump right back into it where I left off. That was me on Tuesday. It was a great workout as always but I thought I was going to be sick when I was done. Didn't do one today though, my back is bothering me and I just wasn't feeling it. Oh well, can't be perfect all the time ;)

I'm so close to my goal though, I can almost taste it. It's right there. I just need to be a little more disciplined and I will meet it in no time. I'm excited. I never thought it would happen. But here I am, on the borderline. I know that some people would probably keep going but I'm ok with stopping and maintaining. There are some things that I just can't change without some type of surgical intervention. I've come to love my body as it is, accept and embrace my curves and that is something I wouldn't change for anything. It's taken me such a long time to get here but it sure feels good to be able to say that. I've come so far, from having absolutely no self esteem to being full of confidence. It's been a fight and a struggle. I've fallen more times then I can count but the important thing is that I did eventually get back up. Sure it wasn't as quick sometimes as it should have been. But I did and that's what counts the most.

My biggest piece of advice to any of my friends that are also in the battle to get healthier is the same. Don't get discouraged when you have a day that sucks completely. You can't let that get you down because ultimately that will be your eventual undoing. Trust me. I've been there. No more. I shake it off and carry on. That's all you can do. Hang in there my loves, you CAN do it too!!
