Week 7 Redo Update

Determining triggers for enhancing mental change is a truly powerful operation.  I went from being very down on myself for my lack of success during my scheduled Week 7, to be overwhelmingly motivated and driven for my Week 7 Redo! I changed nothing except for my mentality and the simple decision to offer myself a redo was the "trigger" then has brought me success this week thus far.  I overthink WAYYYYYY too many things and definitely rely on these types of triggers to generate positive thinking.  So far this week I have worked out 3 of 4 days and I feel they were all successful and I pushed myself to the point of satisfaction.  I had a tiny event this week that could have caused me to revert back to my discouraged ways, but instead I just decided to roll with the punches and man...that is such a better way to live! Each day I really am trying to live this way....rolling with the punches rather than focusing on the negative or what could be negative.



My dearest Karrin has demanded that I up my calorie intake by 200 from now on....and obviously this will be a challenge because I can't even seem to hit the regular intake goal that I have.....increasing that number by 200 will be nearly impossible unless I incorporate a daily donut into my diet (Is that what you want Karrin!) :)  So, if you had any suggestions for how I can get a healthy few extra hundred calories into my day I would really appreciate it. 

Hittin the gym tonight with Laners and I look forward to those workouts most.  Lane inspires me so much and now with our schedules and different workout regimens, we rarely get the opportunity to workout together.  Jamie Eason (The creator of this challenge) posted something on FB yesterday that really motivated me....She said "The People that Play Together Stay Together".  She was referring to her and her fiance working out together and she is completely right.  Shared interests are very bonding for any type of relationship.  May seem lame to some that my shared interest with those closest to me is working out, but I am really grateful for that bond.  I am closer than ever to Lane, Karrin, Thiriza, and the amazing atheletes in the RSF family because of this shared interest and I will work hard to ensure that continues. 

HAPPY FRIDAY!!!
