Well today is day 30 of my Slim in 6 journey. Â There are only 12 days left before I can take my “after” photos. Â While the scale has only gone down about 7 lbs since beginning this workout program 5 weeks ago, I’ve lost quite a few inches. A lot of the reviews I’ve read about Slim in 6 state that the most significant changes come in the last 2 weeks. Â I’m looking forward to big changes either on the scale or on the measuring tape this week.
If you asked me yesterday if I feel healthier than I did before I would have said yes. I did a total of 2 hours of exercise yesterday. I ran last night and felt great. Â Today I’m feeling the effects of the weather and stress on my body. I woke up with intense knee and back pain. Â I know the changes in the weather negatively impact my body and that late fall/winter tend to be difficult for me in terms of coping with pain and depression. Â Despite the pain today I still pressed play. Â I worked up a good sweat and slightly modified some of the workout to spare my knees from any added stress.
Today I don’t feel healthy, fit or strong. Will I let it stop me? No way.
I learned a long time ago that I can’t give in to the weaknesses of this frail human body. Â If I did I’d probably stay in bed every day. Â I have a life to live, dreams to achieve, and a family to take care of. Â Giving up is never an option.
What challenges do you need to overcome to reach your goals? Â Is it worth it to you to keep pushing through even when your weaknesses or the chaos of life try to hold you down? Â If not I’d say it’s time to re-think your goals. Set goals and reach for dreams that you are passionate about. Â If your heart is committed to it then your body will follow. Â I encourage you to push through the pain of whatever it is you are dealing with and keep moving towards success.
