The 9 week Fitness challenge through Goals in Motion ended today, final testing was this morning.
Some things I have learned in these past 9 weeks of this fitness challenge...
1. I really can wake up consistently at 4:40 in the morning.
2. I really can go to bed before midnight.
3. I really don't miss the 10:00 pm news.
4. I actually don't like crackers and don't miss them.
5. I can survive without chocolate chip cookies or cookie dough.
6. I really miss warm Starbucks hot chocolate on a cold winter day.
7. I can still surprise myself, and my husband, and become a morning person.
8. I love grocery shopping at Hyvee at 6:30 am. It's quiet and the shelves are stocked.
9. My boys don't need me at 5:00 am.
10. I can lose 19.6 lbs in 9 weeks. (was shooting for 20)
11. ALL of my boys are very supportive of me, they all want me to succeed.
12. It's good for my mental health to exercise.
13. I really LOVE workout clothes and shoes.
14. Referring to 13 I love www.lululemon.com
15. Referring again to 13 my FAVORITE shoes are Saucony.
16. Despite how cute Nike shoes are, they just aren't as comfortable to me.
17. I CAN eat fish...if it's breaded and low calorie thank YOU Costco.
18. I have a wonderful supportive group of friends and family who cheer me ON!
19. I can make my kids and husband proud of me while taking care of ME!
20. I can reinvent myself, I can become an athlete again, and I am younger, and my body is stronger than I think.
21. I gave myself 9 weeks of NO excuses...and I am so PROUD of me. It wasn't easy...but it was worth it. I am blessed to have such a support system around me. I prayed OFTEN during these past 9 weeks..and as always God heard me and gave me strength and focus.
Here are a few of my Pinterest inspirational quotes that kept me GOING and will KEEP my going as I attack the next 20 lbs. For me, and our family, this is a life change or eating better, eating healthier, making wise choices in what we feed these bodies God gave to us. I have only begun.
