There are still so so so many improvements that I can make. I’m doing things that I have never ever done before, and I am more committed than I have ever been before! I can make this the year I get in the best shape of my life. That’s kind of unreasonable because if my body improved as much as it has within the last 8 weeks, then this is definitely not “as good as it’s gonna get.” I can’t keep thinking that just because this is as good as it has ever been in the past, that it will never be better than that. I keep thinking that this is as far as my body is going to come in regards to fitness levels and weight and what not. My eating this weekend was really bad, and I didn't even try to eat well. Doing the Katy Hearn Challenge has made me feel empowered and given me so much confidence, so I had to go for another round. I lost about twenty pounds, and got so much stronger. I used to be so intimidated by the weights section of the gym, I would have never pictured myself doing half the stuff I do now. This is my second challenge, I did the first one in October and I learned so much about working out and proper nutrition. I found Katy Hearn on Instagram and basically decided to buy her workout plan because I want her booty. But, I force myself to go anyways.Īnyways, I'm starting up the Katy Hearn Winter Challenge, which is an 8 week workout challenge I purchased online. There are days I don't feel like going to the gym, my body hurts, I'm too sore, too tired. Discipline means getting out there and doing it even when you aren't motivated. I can go to bed motivated to do clean my room, and eat healthy, and workout, and take over the world, but when I wake up the next day that motivation will likely be gone. People always say "I wanna workout, but I need more motivation.blah blah blah." No. I can't honestly say what it was that changed, but one day I just decided I was really going to do this thing, no excuses, and I forced myself to get up and go. I always woke up too late, and I "never had time." I'd set five alarms the night before and proceed to shut them all off the next morning. I think I only made it to the gym four times throughout the whole first month of my membership. I stopped going out and drinking all the time. I went into super savings mode because I was so determined to save up and spend a year in Spain. Along with moving back home, came a lot of changes. In August, I moved back in with my parents as a last resort. I graduated college in May and consequently stopped receiving the financial aide checks that I used to pay my rent, so I was barely getting by every month. I went through a major life style change recently and I'd like to share that as well as use this as a way to hold myself accountable for my goals. Most of the stuff I've posted on here has been focused on my writing, but I haven't really been doing much of that lately.
