Set Back?

I didn't win the challenge. Set back? No. It is all a mental thing. We could allow ourselves to give up or quit everytime something doesn't go our way. Disappointed, yes - and that's okay. However, I will not allow this to consume my day or even more than a moment! I am choosing to use this as a two things

1. A learning lesson. I put in a ton of hard work but I also know where I need to fix things now - how you eat is just as important as how you work out. If you keep eating like you always did you will weigh what you always weighed!
2. This was NOT a loss. This was a jump start. I am not going to be able to do challenges to push me the rest of my life. I will ONLY be able to do my best. I know I will have slip ups - you are not honest if you say you will not. Life happens.

This challenge has shown me what can be done and what I am capable of. I never thought I would ever be able to:
- use 20lb free weights
- do forearm planks and rotate my hips from side to side
- do burpees/mountain climber burpees in a turbo and do them ALL
- learn to love the way my elbows burn and feel nauseated when I push so hard
- run 1.5 miles without stopping
- be brave enough to sign up for four 5k runs and a Survival Run
- want to put working out as a priority
- be an inspiration to people
- be comfortable working out with my husband in the same room
- do some bycicle ab workouts and scissor kick abs!
- ever be able to wear shorts again

I want to tell Cory a big thank you for taking me on this Challenge, I am very grateful I got to be a part of it. It really PUSHED me to the next level I needed to be at mentally and physically to get the job done to really live out the fat girl shred!
