Today's work out was H. to the A. to the R. to the D.
I just finished the last 30 minutes of week 6 of Body Revolution which means I am now officially half way to the finish line (of the exercise series, not my weight loss journey). I am feeling stronger and more fit (my love handles are shrinking and I'm down a pant size!), but I struggled to finish the work out today. It felt like I had bricks strapped to my arms and my legs were made of lead. I had to stop the video half way through for a minute to recover my muscles and catch an extra breath. I am already dreading the next video because it promises to be even more challenging.
Traditionally, this is right around the time I would start to give up on my weight loss goal. I would allow negative thoughts to take over and never really believe that I can get to the end successfully so I'd figure what's the point in trying.
But this time I need to remind myself of the old cliche, "Nothing good in life comes easy." If I want to lose weight I DO need to work for it. And if it isn't hard and I'm not sweating, then I'm not burning calories.
I think I can, I think I can, I think I can!
