So first off, thank you for welcoming me back with open arms!!!
I missed everyone so much! As I said in my previous post my fitness/health/well being definitely went to the back burner for a bit so I'm really focused on getting back on track. Especially
during this time of unknowns and uncertainty with the current COVID-19 situation.
It's easy to use this time of anxiety and stress to
sit on our phones, computers, and other technology and just snack away on things
that are probably not the best, but ya know....quarantine life!!! ;)

I have always been fortunate to be naturally thin, but
I will say, the older that I am getting my body is definitely changing.
NOOOOOO I am not FAT
(so before the eye rolls start, STOP! LOL)
However, I have ALWAYS said that everyone's situation is relative to THEM. My clothes tell me
all I ever need to know so I have never owned a scale. I try not to judge
anyone on ANYTHING (especially after the last 2 years...more to come on that in a later post) but
especially NOT on weight. Everyone is different. That is the bottom line.
I can't just sit around drink wine all day, eat a bunch of garbage and expect to be a string bean.

(wouldn't that just be glorious if I could) ;)
I also am a FIRM believer that working out and taking care of yourself
not only helps physically, but helps your mental well being as well.
I know for me it is definitely needed to help me stay mentally balanced.
I tend to be pretty positive but we ALL have our days or a period of time when the
whole universe is against us (or at least that's how we perceive it).
It's just a good stress reliever/therapy for me. I didn't ever really stop working out at all, but
my consistency wasn't there. It would be sporadic and my heart wasn't in it.
I knew I needed to get back on track to better myself INSIDE and OUT.
I also knew I was ready for a change. I have been a die hard Beach Body fan for the last
5 years and I still am a believer in all of those programs but I was still looking for more.
(This story is going somewhere, so stick with me!)
I think with social media today it's sooooo EASY to play the comparison game.
You know how it goes.
You start following someone.
They look AMAZING,
they are so INSPIRING
and that workout they are doing is working for them!
Your mind game goes like this:
"I don't look like that."
"That workout didn't do that for me."
Guess what!?
You may have some years on them.
They may be getting some extra cardio in chasing a toddler or two around.
(We all know that in itself is a workout!! Been there, done that! LOL)
Moral of the story:
So where they are in their life and what they are doing is relative to THEM not you.
We need to start embracing who WE are and what WE have, but we are ALL guilty, whether we admit it or not, of the COMPARISON GAME.
And yep, I was guilty too! So enter Brooke Burke. I kept seeing her fitness workouts advertised.
I started reading up on her and I really felt connected to what she was doing.
I tried a couple of her quick workouts that were on YouTube and the next day
I was in some PAIN!
Good Pain. I needed that in a seriously bad way. It kicked my butt into gear.
I started her fitness program yesterday and I am in LOVE.
She is so easy to follow. She motivates me.
I am moving this body in ways it has never been moved before but I am loving it. I don't
even bother comparing myself to that beauty, but can she be any more GORGEOUS!!??
I will keep you posted on how I like it as it progresses. I purchased her trial app, but come on now..... I'm not going to cancel! No quitter over here! The app is so user friendly and
you have access to all of her workouts anytime, anywhere.
Of course like anything, her workouts won't be for someone who maybe likes crossfit, or heavy lifting, but
that's what it's about, finding what works for YOU. If you want to check her out,
go to brookeburke.com and browse around.
Ummmm this was way longer than I anticipated it to be. Sorry loves! I was super excited to
tell you all about it.
And now because I NEVER deprive myself of things I love,
It's THIRSTY THURSDAY!
There is a glass of wine with my name on it. Stay home and stay safe!
