When you just can't get up - PUSH YOURSELF!!

Hey great folk! I have to say I had a GREAT fitness Friday but have to admit, the starts of my Wednesday (05/15) and Friday (05/17) were SLOW AND LAZY and as a result I paid for it! I usually walk/jog early in the morning and by 10:30 I'm good and done but not on the above mentioned days. I laid in my bed and enjoyed PBS! Yes I sure did and NO children were in my presence. DON'T JUDGE ME!

I just could not get out of the bed for some reason. My body was up at 6:30 ready to roll but my mind was like

... You done tried me!! *sigh* Folk just do NOT understand how POWERFUL the mind is! It controls EVERYTHING and one things for sure

If that ain't the truth right there!! Any way, I finally moved ... both days it was after 10 when the sun was high in the sky and on the tops of those bridges 70 degrees feels like 100!! Wednesday I did 2 full laps of the Acosta bridge, both sides and 1 side is higher than the other but the other side is much longer! I tell you what, if you can not motivate and inspire yourself YOU WON'T MAKE IT!! YES I MADE IT ... it was a struggle but I made it. The sun was determined to win the race but I refused! I was hydrated and on a mission!!

I took my first walk/jog shirtless over the Acosta on Wednesday ...

This was my 2nd time walking shirtless BUT 1st time on the bridges .... way more traffic. WOO SAH ... I was truly nervous. Why? I am still very self conscious about my body but I have to tell myself it's not where we want to be but FAR from where we used to be. It's crazy how I thought it was a struggle to lose those 50 lbs in 2012 but I'm slowly finding out maintaining and continued firming is the real struggle!

I had started a new bridge routine, walking the Acosta bridge only ... both sides. I didn't do that Friday, I took my old route ... Main St and Acosta with 60 incline push ups. I did 30 minutes and was DONE! The sun was too much for a sister and it won the race. I know now that my body has to learn to fight back when we get up at 6:30 to "get er done" and my mind say NO NO NO because we can't beat the sun!
