Hi all!!
Things are really coming together for the #plantPOWER CHALLENGE starting Monday!!
More details to come with that; my girl heather & I are plugging away.
By the way; super cool prizes for the whole month!!
like, I’m totally jealous…
Anyhow,
Saw this anonymous quote the other day and couldn’t wait to share.
“worry is a down payment on a problem you may never have.” – my motto today!
like I said before, I was having digestion issues last week;
I obviously made some changes in my eating to see if it would help
but found that I think it all boiled down to STRESS!
Honestly, stress plays a bigger part in our bodies actions more than we realize.
After taking 3 days off from working out over the weekend…guess what?
My body didn’t change.
I didn’t gain weight.
I didn’t lose any hard earned muscle.
if anything– I felt so rested & at peace with my body.
I focused on enjoying myself this weekend with really living in the moment!
I’ve found that sometimes I get caught up in the future
and things that haven’t even happened yet.
I’m going to try and really work on this.
My body felt so good Tuesday morning;
that I decided to do a nice 10 minute elliptical warm up,
& some chest/shoulder/tricep exercises before teaching my #TRX class!
I felt awesome; I took my time, focusing on each movement
& the muscles I was working!
I read in Oxygen Magazine, Tosca quoting her husband Robert with something along the lines of,
“Bringing your mind with you to the gym”
Which is something I never really thought about.
I have nothing against reading a magazine while walking on the treadmill;
some days that’s all I want to do.
But if you really focus in on what you’re actually doing;
not just going through the motions
it’s amazing how connected you feel to your body and the muscles you are working.
Mind/body connection is a powerful thing.
Don’t forget that if you have questions for Tosca;
check out this post & she’ll answer your questions Oct. 4th!
Fact: I’m really trying to live in the moment these days; hope you’ll try it out too!
