drinkin some mint tea. my tummy needs it.

today was wonderful. it was lazy. it didnt end so hot.

but tomorrow is a chance to start over. 

forgive, don't forget. 

my 2 biggest goals in therapy are:

-get rid of my fears

-learn to be my own best friend

its all about learning to enjoy life without the constant nagging & self loathing I tend to do.

Life is too short & appearance is not a vital element of happiness. 

I am learning to be bold & loving. I am all about getting healthy and happy.

repenting & beginning again. 

I am so blessed & I know God wants me to recover.

He is here with me while I struggle through this, & I feel that.

I just need to use the tools he gives me to suppress the natural man. 

Seriously love the big man upstairs. 

He is my everything!

Be positive. Getting down on myself isn’t going to help me improve, but a positive attitude will keep me motivated to get myself where I want to be. A positive attitude goes a long way!

Focus on what you CAN do. I did 100 pull-ups on Saturday. Hey, I’ve still got it! Focusing on what I can do is so much better than dwelling on what I can’t do.

Don’t quit. What kills you only makes you stronger? I had a rough workout yesterday and wanted to quit, but I didn’t let myself, and I’m so glad that I pushed through. It definitely made me a little bit stronger.

Appreciate the moment. This is going to sound super cheesy, but it’s the truth. Every CrossFit class I go to, I take a moment to soak it all in and appreciate that I’m healthy enough to be there. There’s been so many times that I haven’t been well enough to exercise, so taking a minute to appreciate my physical health puts things in perspective.

Set some new goals. Exercising again after taking time off is like starting with a clean slate. Instead of dwelling on the past, I’m looking forward and setting new goals to keep me motivated.

Stole these tips from Carrots N Cake!

One of my favorite blogs..she actually lives on the South Shore too!

But I thought these were great tips on getting back into fitness and health when you've taen some time off. I am getting back and I am staying positive!
