Week 1 ~ January 11, 2014

Our first team meeting was last Sunday, January 11, 2015 (5pm - 7pm).   Pictures, measurements, workout and lecture.

First, the workout kicked my ass.  Easy enough movements but hold, push, squeeze longer than I normally ever would exhausted some muscles.  Concentrating on breathing correctly, landing softly, holding that plank or squat, 2 more push-ups on my toes.   So, it was not a failure just amazed on how far I can push my body and what it will do when I engage and breathe.  I left that night, scared,intimidated and a whole lot of anxiety.  Its kind of my theme.

We have lectures every week and it is here is everything now go fourth and prosper at all.  This week????

~ Write on your mirror  "GET OVER IT"

You will make mistakes, you will stumble and struggle but get over it and move on with the very next meal, workout etc..   Too often I dwell, and dwell hard and soon it turns well I just can't do it and let it all go to the way side.  Or worse I will binge on that food item until I am sick to my stomach and yep depressed and all those awesome negative hurtful words flood my consciousness and I can't get off the couch for a month.   NO MORE!


~ Make your Pre & Post workout meals work.  Within roughly 1 hour prior and after your workout eat to fuel your body properly where that workout is not wasted.   Examples to name a few.

             Before ~ EAT CARBS  (WHOOO HOOOO)..
                            * Whole Grains
                            *  Fruits
                            * Veggies

            After ~  EAT PROTEIN
                         * Protein Shake
                         * Lean Meat
                         * Nuts
                         * Peanut Butter


So, this week I vowed to do my best to eat those veggies and fruits and not waste my workouts.  I also leaned that my attitude and body like working out in the mornings.  I don't want to wake up but once moving I am a grooving.   I have woken up at 4:30 a.m. every week day for the last 2 weeks.  I am a grooving by 5 am.   I have my water with me but I have yet to find that nice balance of something to eat prior.
