See how far you've come

Although I am incredibly ashamed to admit the truth, I promised you that I would share both my success and my struggles.  Here it goes.. I didn't just take a week-long break from blogging, I also took a week long break from working out and I let myself indulge in some pretty unhealthy foods, too.  There, I said it.

I can make all the excuses in the book including my business trip or time with family and friends but the truth of the matter is that my head just wasn't in it last week.  I wanted to workout but I didn't really  want to work out.  I have days like this every now and then and I can usually push myself to do it anyways but it has been a VERY long time since I've had a whole week go by without a workout (and the mirror reflects it).

I've also found myself getting a little bored with Insanity lately.. I can't believe I just said that.  I absolutely love the Insanity workout but it can get a little monotonous if you do the same workouts over and over for a few months.  I'd been thinking about picking up P90X again but it just doesn't have the same intensity or rush that I get from Insanity.  In fact, today I did a P90X workout and I thought to myself, "I can't believe I used to think this was so hard."  Looking back, it's amazing how far I have come in the past year.

 

As I've blogged before (check it out), Monday is always my fresh start.  It's my opportunity to start new even if I failed miserably the week before.  So take every Monday as a new beginning and never look back unless you want to see just how far you've come.
