Happy Monday!
I had to humble myself this week. I came in loud and proud last week, on Monday’s Daily Journal! I really did try hard this week to get all my workouts in, but I still didn’t reach that “5 days a week” mark like I wanted, but I’m still proud that I did two quick at home workouts, that I will be posting today because I want to end last week’s workouts with that last at home workout I did. I say that because I want to restart and revamp how I go about working out now. I think I want to change workout programs, still going to use Brittany Lupton’s App (No I am not sponsored by her but I wish ;)) for workouts, just I want to use her Advance Split program instead of her Glutes Program. I will also be using her Core Program still because it’s fire for core and abs and I have felt my core strength increase and I love that for me!
The reason I want to restart/revamp the way I go about working out is the positivity portion of it because when I self-reflect on it, I am so mean to myself when I don’t actually go to the gym. I am so down on myself for missing workouts due to life getting in the way, or just because I don’t want to workout that time. I am so mean and rude to myself when it comes to missing a workout and I hate that. I really do hate that. I listen to too many podcasts/podcast episodes about being gentle with yourself, and that it’s okay to miss a workout, whether it be a week or a month, like it’s okay to do that Tee, you do not have to be so dang mean to yourself girl! QUIT! I am human and I have to remember that. I feel like I love myself so much that I hold myself accountable for a little bit too much. And not saying that I don’t want to hold myself accountable, it’s just I have to set my standards a little lower, they’re way too high for my busy life right now. And don’t come for me saying “no no, keep your standards high, do more do more,” because somethings are just too much and I’ve come to realize that. NO! I’m not saying going to the gym 5 times a week is too much because there’s people that that works for, but with the way my life is, I can’t do that right now, and I have said over and over, I’m listening to my body and when it needs a break, it needs a break, and that’s okay. Plus, when I think about it, I liked when I was going 4 days a week because I hit all the things I wanted to hit, so with Brittany’s Workout Plan, I’ll hit the four days.
So, I’m going to really sit down and figure out a plan for me on workouts, free time (hobbies and games), I also want to get back into daily devotionals before bed again or just in general because that really did help me spiritually and I miss that. I have a lot to sit down and revamp and I’m excited to do that. I’m going to take today to do that!
3 Things To Be Grateful For
- I’m grateful for hitting over 1,000 VIEWS ON THE BLOG!! That is amazing and I’m so thankful that that many people viewed my website. I’m also thankful for everyone following, reading, and sharing this blog as well!! I love you ALL! Please continue to do so!
- I’m grateful for being able to actually take time to myself and do what I want to do, whether that be working out, reading all day, playing The Sims 3 all day, or just resting and napping. I’m so grateful to have the time to have needed me-time. After the holiday, I really felt like I didn’t have any time for just myself. So Saturday afternoon through Sunday until I went to bed, I only did what I wanted to do, and it felt so good to just have a day and a half to just myself. Not everyone has that opportunity so it makes me grateful that I did have it.
- Lastly, I am grateful for God. I say that because He really has kept me in a great place lately, and over the weekend, there was a point where I thought my “great place” was going to vanish over a situation but then I remembered that God is on my side and I don’t need to fear. I will get through anything, with Him on my side.
