New Year, New Race: Challenge #2

DoNotGiveUp

Here we go again! Tomorrow begins my second 30 Day Challenge and I couldn’t be more excited. It is hard to believe that not that long ago I was preparing for my first 30 Day Challenge, and I didn’t feel anything like I do now. I was so full of fear, nerves, doubt. I wondered if I would be able to follow through, to finish what I was starting. I wondered if I would see any results, if I would lose weight or feel better about my body. I never would have believed the transformation that was about to begin!

Now, as I look toward these next 30 days, I am full of excited anticipation. This time, I already know I can do it. It doesn’t feel like I’m preparing to make huge changes in my diet – I’ve already done that. And I truly enjoy the healthy decisions I’m making; it is definitely my new normal. I’m not wondering when I’ll have the time to fit in workouts every day. I am already doing that! It is a non-negotiable part of my daily routine. I look so forward to my afternoon workout, followed by my refreshing shake. It is my new nap time tradition. The kids are asleep, and before I sit down at my computer to work, I take care of myself and my body.

I have a much different outlook and much different expectations. I also have different goals. My goals for the next 30 days are to:

1) Wake up early each day to spend time in God’s word and in prayer. I want this to become even more non-negotiable than the workout.

2) Get all 7 workouts in every week. Even if it means doubling up some days, there are 7 workouts in my program and to achieve the best results, I need to fit them all in!

3) STICK TO THE MEAL PLAN! Nutrition has proved to be a total GAME-CHANGER when it comes to my overall health and how I feel. This is of vital importance!

4) Stick with this blog. Like I said before, I want this to be an opportunity for accountability. If I know there are people out there who are reading about my experiences, I better keep it up!

5) Don’t get discouraged, and do NOT give up!!!
