Another day of sitting here drinking my morning Cinnamon Tea, eating my oats with fruit and taking my supplements, for what? Today I am annoyed. I have been working so hard and not seeing any changes. The scale, just plain sucks. I need to really listen to my own advice and stay away from it. The measuring tape, sucks too!
Before sitting down to type this, I have prep for my day. *Gallon of water, ready to be drank. *Snacks in fridge, ready for me to consume. *Lunch in fridge, ready for me to eat. *Workout clothes are on, ready for me to get out the door for my cardio workout planned. *Supplements, ready to be taken at noon and again at night. No reason to fail today's plan since it's all mapped out. I do this day in and day out. What the point of doing all this, when you feel the way you feel today?!?! Really, deep down I know something is working because I am getting stronger and seeing muscles. It's a process and takes time they say. I don't do well with "takes time". I want it NOW! I feel like the girl in Willy Wonka, stomping my feet on the ground, I WANT IT ALL NOW! ;) Struggles are real! They hinder the process if you let it. This is where the mindset and having a great support system comes in place! However, majority of my support system is off in the Virtual World ;) And I have removed myself from that world! GASP!! Yup, I deleted my FB account for a while. I needed to step away from it and focus on what's more important. I won't lie, I miss being encourage and encouraging others. I miss seeing what's happening out in the world. However, I don't miss it that much. It's been nice to not compare myself to this person or that person. It's nice not seeing negative news. It's nice to spend time with my kids, getting to know them on a different level. Not comparing myself to other moms. Just enjoying being me! But what do you do when you don't have that support that you are used to?!?!? *Write. Lots of writing been done lately. Every frustration, every celebration, every wish, everything... some will be shared on here. get as deep as you can get. *Text or call friends. They been awesome with cheering me on. In fact, some friendships have gotten stronger because of this. New ones have been made and old ones have been sent off. *RUN. I pound out my thoughts as my feet pound on the pavement. *Reading! I have read 3 books in the last 3 weeks. My heart is happy. I miss reading. *Personal Development, LOTS of it! Right now I am reading an amazing book and just started it last night and can tell it's going to CHANGE a lot of my Struggles. (BE REAL Because Fake is Exhausting by Rick Bezet) *Music. Gets me moving. *My kids. They keep me busy. You can borrow them any time, they will make you realize your struggles are nothing LOL Before I hit the gym, I get to watch my daughter show me her dance show and her workout she's been working on. She's 4. She makes my struggles easier and worth every minute. I know because of my struggles, she (and the other 2) will be stronger, wiser, and amazing women. Tea is gone, oats have been consume, and my supplements are doing their magic. The easy part is done, now to lace up and go shine ;)
