I'm wide awake

SURPRISE IT'S KIKI!

I got ready and rushed out of the house for a work related conference this morning. I was walking down the hall when I saw my reflection and couldn't believe that person was me. I was surprised, pleased and in awe. Just as I think I'm not doing enough or I'm not seeing quick results...BAMN! The truth is I'm learning about myself daily and reminding myself about the importance of being patient and not making myself wrong when I have a set-back. But I also can't get comfortable with where I am in the process because I'm still 76 pounds away from goal. Today's visual surprise pushed me to go to the gym when I was too tired. 


AT THE GYM

I did my 12-week upper body training (doubled for last week's miss) and cardio instead of yoga to make - up for last week's miss. At some point I wanted to give up. I was sore, tired, and my body felt like it was going to give-out. Instead I pushed harder and self-talked: "i'm stronger, breathe in energy and breathe out negativity, stopping is not an option etc." --> In the end I felt proud and accomplished because I didn't quit. I'm building endurance.

To waking up from life's slumber.
