It's been just over 8 weeks since getting back into a solid workout routine post-physical therapy on the gimp hip. I'm really starting to feel the progress made and mental clairty return....but I have a confession: I do not rely on myself alone. I am in daily need of postive reinforcement and motivational check-ins to stay the course. Reminders that I am strong enough to push my limits, that I'm mindful of my choices and that I listen with intention to my body. Each week gets easier but no less a struggle. What do I know for sure? That this is a lifelong course for me. I workout first and foremost as a remedy for anxiety/blues with the physical benefits a close second. Today's favorites are just a few blips of motivational inspiration that I stumbled upon this week in the blogosphere and helped me to keep on keeping on :) When hungry, chug an 8oz glass of water. If thirsty, chug more. Challenge yourself and see if you can drink about a gallon/day. Remember, to stave off bloating and water retention, you have to drink more water. As backwards as it sounds, it's true! I just love this. That's all. Today is Friday. It's hard for me to find the desire to workout on Fridays but seeing this makes me lace up the sneaks and just GO. I dont even think about it. By the time the first song has ended on the iPod, I'm already grateful that I got out the door. A wonderful daily reminder. And the truth ;-)
