Focus on the Positives

This week I noticed that once again I had lost inches, but not really any significant pounds during the weigh-in. However, I am completely focused on the positives! One being, I have more energy and I am able to do exercises for a longer period of time than I was before. So to me those are definite signs that things have been working in some areas. And again as I stated last week, my clothing is also fitting loosely so to me that is another sign that the program is working and I need to go shopping soon! When I go shopping I will also make sure I pick out some new sneakers. I noticed that my calves had been sore so I received a tip from Maia to get some new kicks to see if that helps the issue. So I plan on doing that this week! I am also making sure that I stretch more during my weekend workouts because that could be a part of the issue as well.

My goal this week is to continue focusing on the positives during my workouts and outside of this challenge as well. I just purchased a new book called Food, Fitness and Faith for Women - A 21 Day Journey to a New You. As some of you know, I enjoy posting positive quotes not only to this blog but to my Facebook and Twitter accounts so I am always looking for inspiration from various sources. After this challenge I plan on starting this 21 day journey and continue on my weight loss goals. I think this challenge was just the beginning, but what a wonderful beginning it was to really start a lifestyle change. I am looking forward to the last few weeks in the program and in a way, can't believe how fast the time has gone. Wow. It almost made me sad for a minute that this will be done in two weeks! Shaking off those thoughts and getting ready to start another week with the boot camp crew! :-)
