  • Spent?! It’s okay!

    “Grab your weight everyone- medium plate.”

    I grabbed my 10-pound weight, ready to go.

    “Okay. Step back with your right leg and squat down. Reverse lunge, everyone. That’s it.”

    “Umm… Mind to leg…. Squat down.”

    Nothing. My leg wasn’t moving.

    “Come on,” I told myself, “You’re falling behind the rest of the group. You got this! You’ve been practicing.”

    Nothing. My leg wasn’t budging.

    Shaking my head in dissapointment, I put my weight down and tried again .

    This time my brain connected with the leg. I did it, but with no weight it seemed too easy. I should be able to lunge with 10 pounds! What’s up?!

    After three months of working out 5-6 times a week, I’m feeling depleted- completely spent.

    So, I asked the coach.

    She ran through a couple of questions: Pre-workout drink? Eatting before working out?

    Nothing was out if place. Then she asked, “How long have you been working out?”

    “Since December,” I replied.

    Then a big smile and chuckle fell out of her mouth, “That’s it?!”

    “That’s nothing! I was tired for the first year after I started working out!”

    … and RELIEF!

    If someone that looks like her (amazing!) was tired for her first year, than me feeling spent in the first three month is a-okay.

    I am doing okay!

    It’s gonna be okay!

    It is okay!

    Today’s Wins!

    1. I listened & shared good conversation with friends.
    2. I ate correctly & logged my food- maintaining my macros.
    3. I lifted, tibata, abs – 57 min. Plus met two new friends, Tara and Michael.
    4. I danced Zumba- 53 min. Offered up a compliment & got a clothes shopping tip!
    5. I grocery shopped.
    6. I made thoughtful food choices at the restaurant.
    7. I started a blog, wrote, & posted! (after talking about it for a year)
    8. I touched base with my daughter & shared my love. 🥰
    9. I held my husband’s hand- lots! 🩷
    10. I decided rest & sleep are more important than food prep. 👏
    11. I kept a keep-going attitude, even though (once again) my muscles were not having it! I asked to understand rather than getting down on myself for poor performance.
    12. I remembered that v5.4 is not about the short game, but the long game … of consistency and just going with it when life doesn’t go as planned.
