Week 2, day 1 of 9 Week Control Freak! I showed up! Best piece of advice is to make sure you are stretching enough for your body, even if that means stretching after the video!

Guys I have gotten on the wagon and fallen off too many times to count. Whether it was bc of an injury or a significant life changing event. Taking care of yourself is hard! The best you can do is show up and try! It’s not perfect but I just finished day 4 of week one for 9 week control freak! And let me tell ya… do not over do it on workout number 1! Do your best but know your limitations! I pushed myself way too hard last week and hurt so bad walking was a struggle. But I got back into it this week. Along with this we started portion fix to help with eating better. It’s tough but meal prep is key! Now I’m going to drink my recover and soak in an epsom salt bath to help with muscle recovery. Go get out there and do something good for yourself! 💚

Looking for a low carb or gluten free meal option that’s still tasty?? Bacon tacos with provolone cheese shells! Includes spinach, tomato, bacon, avocado, sauce of your choice (mine was ranch), and shredded cheese (optional). Quick and easy to make!

Last week was not good for making it to the gym. However, this week I’ve been twice!

Made it to the gym finally last night! Was nice to get back in!

Well I only made it one day last week but that’s better than not at all. I had a very busy week with more travel than usual so it cut into my gym time.

Also that girl wearing makeup could have come from work.

To the person who is about to judge..
.the girl wearing make-up in the gym. Did you know that she never gets a chance to go out and feel pretty, because she spends all her time trying to take care of her children at home? Did you know that she tries to make the most out of her one single hour, 3 days a week?
.the girl wearing the bright leggings that show her dimples. Did you know that she was once scared to even go to the gym, out of fear of what people may think? She once thought that the gym was a place for the already “fit” people, and that she didn’t belong. Did you know that going to the gym, and wearing those leggings, makes her feel empowered?
.the thicker girl wearing the crop top. Did you know that she has already lost 50 pounds? Did you know that her self-esteem has sky-rocketed, and now feels that she could do anything she puts her mind to? Did you know that your opinion of her does not matter? Because she knows her worth now, and nothing is getting in her way.
.the underweight girl who’s in the gym. Did you know that she isn’t in the gym to lose weight, but to gain weight? Did you know that in her gym bag, she has different protein powders, snacks, and her next meal so she can do her best to try and eat more? Did you know that she would give anything to gain an extra 10 pounds?
.the girl who is using an exercise machine incorrectly. Did you know that she finally decided to make a change, for the better? Did you know that both her parents are on the road to heart disease, and she doesn’t want to end up that way? Did you know that even though she has no idea how to do it, she is going to get healthier?
.the girl who’s always working out, rain or shine. Did you know that her husband belittles her, and makes her feel like nothing? Did you know that going to gym, or taking a long walk, is her way to away from it all? That exercising is her way of surviving?

So, to the person who is about to judge.. don’t.

I made it back 3 days this week. Also, for the first time in 3 years I can finally put my hands flat on the floor! Feeling proud!

I have struggled a lot with trying to get back in shape since I hurt my knee and shoulder at the beginning of 2017. Since I went on Christmas break we were able to get a membership at a couple community centers where I can get on a stationary bike to work on my knee. I have been focusing on my legs where they have knotted up and have found a few things I can do that do not cause so much pain that I loose my motivation to work out. Currently I cannot do the workouts I used to because they are too painful because my legs are in such rough shape. I am truly trying to get back to where I can do those things again but for now it’s a bike for about 30 minutes and some weights. It’s progress and it’s not perfect but it’s better than nothing!

After 4 treatments out of 10 I’m hoping this isn’t going to hurt so much tomorrow! Cardio for the win!
