I cannot believe it's been a week already since I started my challenge! I'm still super excited!
I'll start out by saying that since I became a mother, working out has been a challenge for me. I should also add that this was many years ago!! :-) I mean it's been so crazy.... I would get an injury or have surgery. I would have to work late. Or I would not get to work out at all because something always came up! I always felt like I had so many excuses. But then at the same time, some of this is actually just real life.
So I decided to start my challenge January 5 without having any of my It Works products. I figured, once I received them, all would be okay. My goal is to get back to a work out routine and I know this challenge will be key in my getting there! So I went for it along with the excuses and real life.
Week 1 Lessons Learned
1. Do not work out without an adequate amount of sleep. In other words, I need more than 5 hours of sleep every night to be successful.
2. When you workout 1-2 days a week, it may be a good idea to start on the beginner level. In other words, I need to start out slow and work my way up to 4-5 days.
3. Follow your gut instinct. In other words, when something doesn't feel right, listen and take the appropriate action.
For some reason, I cannot move without something popping. The very day that I work out, something aches. I get up the next morning, and it's slow going. It takes a little longer for me to recover from a workout... As much as I want to think I'm my 25 year old self, I'm really not and that's okay....
