Mind over Matter...Inches over Pounds?!

"Woke up this morning... I put on

my happy face!"

This weekend I was able to experience the kazaxe and boot camp tag team workout. Can we say... awesome! I enjoyed the combo class and hope that it becomes a regular event at KZX. Had way too much fun working out! This weekend I also experienced some minor set backs since starting the challenge, however I didn't let those things get me too upset. Instead, I try to keep my mind focused on all the positives that I have achieved. I don't allow myself dwell on anything that gets me upset for too long. I think it is important to acknowledge what's wrong, then channel that energy into something more productive, which is something I have to work at daily! 

What I have noticed is that although I have been feeling like I am losing weight, (my clothes are fitting me loosely, etc) my scales at home have a totally different story - LOL! I've lost inches, but not anymore weight. In fact, I gained a few pounds back. It's sort of weird because all my friends and family have been commenting that I look slimmer, but my weight is at a standstill at the moment. We only have a couple of weeks left to go so I really plan on pushing it even harder so I can see a change in weight and inches hopefully. 


The great news is I am able to get to "Level 3" on some of the exercise moves, so I plan on trying to get to that level with more exercises this week. I absolutely love how the coaches walk around and demonstrate the correct way to do the move, then encourage us to push it even harder! Thank you so much to everyone who has done that for me! I really do appreciate how helpful everyone is in getting us to our goals. Positive people help you achieve positive results so I've also tried to limit my interactions with folks who I've noticed aren't really supportive of my goals. I remember when we began the test group Maia even said we may have some people in our lives not support us in the way we thought they would. It's disappointing to have that happen, but again, I don't dwell on things for long and continue to be thankful for all the wonderful things that have occurred! Ready for Week 7! :-)


One of my "happy" songs - :-)

"You attract people with similar attitudes and beliefs based on how you act. Be positive and positive things will happen to you; you'll also be surrounded by other positive people."

“If you believe that feeling bad or worrying long enough will change a past or future event, then you are residing on another planet with a different reality system.” William James
