Week 3 Day 1-not a good day :-(
Oh, it's just one of those days, I'm sure I'll have more of them soon. I did do my workout, core synergistics today, I didn't do nearly as well as I usually do, but my abs are really sore from plyo yesterday, guess I did overdo it, and I'm just emotionally drained. With the rapidly approaching deployment of my husband, I've offically taken my seat on the emotional roller coaster. He's hardly ever home anymore, and just as soon as I get myself settled into my "survivalist single mother mode", he'll stroll in at home to sleep or change clothes or eat, and then poof he's gone again, and I have to start my emotional process all over again. It just all caught up with me last night and obviously still is today. I'm sure it'll pass, but I'm not near as upbeat as I've been lately. I'm glad I've got this program as a project to concentrate on during the deployment transition. I need my cheerleaders more than ever right now. I will need motivation from everywhere I can get it. This program is my mission for this next year, my husband will have his mission, and this is mine. My award at the end is the body I thought I had lost forever. It will be my own freedom from the oppression of the lifestyle I had been living. Hooah!

The countdown is slowly approaching me as well, at least you've done this before. Oh and be prepared because I'll be asking tons of questions once this thing for real gets kicked off. I'm lost when it comes to this stuff.
ReplyDeleteAs far as the workout goes, you said it perfectly. Brian has his mission and you now have a mission. A true soldier never quits till his/her mission is complete. Use that to drive you in the workout. Never forget the guy in one of the films with only one leg. He never stopped. I don't forsee you stopping at all but anything you can point to will continue to push you along to achieve your goals in which you have already set for yourself. Just remember this is all for you and for noone else. You are already seeing results which is great, just think about what they will be by the time the deployment is over with. I'm excited for you and look forward to your first weigh-in to truly see how much this has worked well for you.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, pain is only weakness leaving the body. The pain will end but your health is forever. Push through it, lean back, throw your arms up and enjoy the "roller coaster" instead of letting it hold you back. I'll be joining you on that roller coaster real soon so keep a seat open for me. You survived the ride before and you can do it again. You will get rewarded in the end, I believe it. Keep your head up! You can do it.
