Feeling Thankful

This week is rest and recovery week. The video is the same for 6 days in a row. It will get a bit repetetive but there's comfort in knowing that I'll know it well and I can do every single move in the workout. Next month, the videos will get longer...I'm not sure how much more intense they can get, but they'll get longer. I'm worried about how to fit in an hour to an hour and a half but that is my task and I feel up to the challenge. It's been one month since I started this. Sadly, I haven't lost much weight. Nothing to write home about...or on this blog for that matter. But, I have lost somewhere around 3 inches if you add up the various measurements. My clothes look better but here's the best part...if I let go of the number, I feel pretty darn good. Everything fits, I feel really strong, and I'm proud that I've kept this up. Doesn't everyone tell you to let go of the number...but do we? I don't. I'm not a fan of letting it go.

But if you do...and focus on other things...then you can give yourself a gift. It's a gift to feel strong, to be able to push yourself, to be able to run around with your son on the baseball field. It's a gift to play a great game of what you love. It's a gift to inspire others and let them inspire you. We all have gifts to give to one another and to ourself. I feel thankful that I've stuck with this so far. It's not about the program but about pushing myself to do things that I set my mind to. Last week was rough in terms of motivation but this weeks feels a bit sunnier. I'm thankful for day
