Cont Finding Motivation

Last week I set 3 fitness/ health goals for myself:

3 Fitness/ Health Goals

1. Get up and run 3 times a week, starting July 15th 

2. Strength train with Garrett ( Strength work, and Oly lifts)

3. Eat clean healthy foods, limit eating out to once a week

Sadly, last week I came down with a horrible sinus infection, and what I believe to be the beginnings of bronchitis ( I have not had the chance to get back into the doctor, since diagnosed with a sinus infection for an official opinion, but I get it so frequently, I pretty much know what is wrong.) So, I took my antibiotics and the refill the doctor prescribed, I am making sure I am taking my Zyrtec twice a day, and have been doing breathing treatments to get my lungs back to par. Yesterday was the fist day that I had without coughing and any flem! ( Yey! because I know flem is what everyone likes to read about, but there is just no other way to put it, when you go from a sinus infection and are trying to get all of that yuckiness out of your lungs!) 

Now that I have that set back behind me, and am physically ready to start working out again... My work schedule blew up! I am constantly going from the gym for either training clients, teaching my classes, or working front desk, to swim lessons. It is going to be so tough for me to want to also go back to the gym to work out! So I am recommitting to running, I am going to wake up and run Monday and Wednesday of this week. I know it is not the 3 times a week I committed to, but after being sick, I do not want to wear myself to thin. I will get 2 strength sessions in with Garrett this week, it is not as much as I would like, but again I do not want to get sick again, I am sure my body still and will need as much rest as it can get for the upcoming week. 

Garrett and I have been doing really good about not eating out everyday! Although this past week we did eat out twice, rather then the once I committed to. It was completely our fault, it was already 2 pm, neither of us had eaten, and we were both unprepared. Today we will be heading to fresh and easy to buy our chicken and veggies to prep for this upcoming week! I am super excited! I am also excited about the fact that I have been cooking at home more recently, and the family has like what i have been cooking! I will do anything to get them eating more then fast, processed, unhealthy foods, so it looks I need to buy double the chicken! ( since they won't let me pay rent, I figure this helps out and is giving back to the family the best that I can. I am so blessed to have the Hueburt/DeFore's as a second family) 

I know this week is kind of just a repeat of last weeks topic, but I was really upset and struggled with the fact that I got sick and couldn't commit to my fitness goals like I wanted to. I was mentally prepared to tackle this obstacle that has been in front of me, but I wasn't listening to my body and what it could physically do.

Hopefully this week goes a little better! Until next time, arrivederci!
