So I'm sitting here, drinking my after-workout chocolate protein smoothie (which is delicious, btw), and thinking about this past week. Overall, these past few days seemed brutal...I was tired. There was no energy to push play and overall, I felt defeated. Last night, there was no motivation to work out but in remembering my goal in doing all of this (to become healthy), I was able to push through. Then I woke up this morning and did it again. Support and motivation is definitely key in all of this.
Today, I completed my week 2 with a cardio abs this morning and then pure cardio this evening. Sooo excited that I've made it half-way through the first month! Next week may be harder....it may be easier. But I just need to remember that I can do it at my own pace. With the nutrition side of things, I've been using whey protein powder to make shakes and smoothies. Surprisingly, it's pretty good (depending on what you put in :P) Scoop of chocolate protein powder, cup of almond milk and some ice cubes? TASTY! Nutrition has been somewhat difficult too this week with having to fit the meals around my work schedule. Some days, I haven't been able to eat the 5 meals or there's been a longer period than wanted between the meals. After some meal planning this weekend, hopefully next week will be better. :)
Here's to Week 3 and Digging Deep!
