100 days.
It seems so long, but goes by so quick when you're living it.
100 days ago I made a commitment to a 100 day program. Not just for the results, but for me.
I committed to showing up every single day doing the best I could. To give to my health & happiness. My goal through the 100 days was just that; to be happy, find my happy & take care of me.
You see, so many times people start a fitness journey because they want to lose weight. They focus on the scale, their jean size, the pain points they feel when they look in the mirror. They say yes because they want results, but give up before they get there.
But progress takes time.
Results take hard work.
It means showing up day in and day out.
It means being patient.
Motivation wont keep you going.
When life gets hard; you're tired, kids need you, your routine gets thrown off the first person you give up on is you. You have to find a big enough reason to keep going, so on those hard days you're willing to fight for yourself.
This program I was excited for!
30 minutes or less a day.
A 10 day cycle of different types of workouts: cardio, lifting, yoga. Cool jumps, badass flow & an empowering trainer.
UMMMM totally my jam.
From day 1 I was struggling. I had to slow down, modify and listen to my body, because well life after 3 C-sections, my lower abs don't work so well all the time (they are getting crazy strong, but it takes time).
I loved every second of these workouts. 30 minutes or less, sign me up! If I can get up, move my body before my kids wake up, then I know I'm starting my day off on the right foot. &&& working out is NOT my favorite thing, so quick and effective is what I go for.
I loved that I can push play from anywhere. My house without having to drive to the gym, find childcare, saving me money and time. On my phone with the app while on vacations & business trips. Outside and in the gym. It was convenient.
I will say, I'm an instant gratification person. SOOOO by day 80 I was ready to be done, so I doubled up the last few weeks -- which was a bad Idea. My body was so sore and my back ached so much the last week (hello weak core & tight hips). I literally had to take 3 days off after I completed the program because I had pushed myself so hard.
My nutrition was good and bad. I'm a foodie, I love junk. So I know how to eat right and fuel my body but I also struggle with wanting to treeeeeat myself. But I think its part of my journey to find the balance in not obsessing over eating right on plan and being able to enjoy "life" without over indulging in junk food. On top of that, Im also a stress eater and/or non eater. Where I don't fuel my body when I'm stressed out. And I had a lot of days where I wouldn't hardly eat. My body, it doesn't react well to that at all.
Still, everyday I showed up. Through the ups and downs of life.
I had good days, bad days & everything in between. The thing about life is that it always happening. Its not like the stars align and everything just works out.
You'll always be thrown curve balls. Its what you do with it that matters.
The past 100 days Ive had some of my biggest struggles in friendships & business. Ive doubted myself, I've let me mean girl get loud, but I show up each day fighting for that sunshine. I show up because I know the person I was before I started taking care of me is not a person I ever want to go back to. && I show up today stronger.
100 days later, I feel proud.
&& the best part is I didn't have to do it alone. I had a virtual group of women, fighting beside me. Today we push play on 100 days together!
