When Life Gets in the Way

This is officially Week 12…the last week of this program and once again I am calling for a redo.  Only because last week and this week LIFE just got in the way.  I wasn’t able to fully commit like I should have because of other commitments and I don’t want to finish this challenge having not given it my all.  This week…Life is continuing to get in the way of the outlined regimen that this challenge requires but that is ok.  I realize that often times life and obligations will get in the way of the outlined plan.  Because really it is not realistic to live life every moment according to plan.  I am such a huge control freak that I would prefer that my life was lived that way….but I am realizing that is not attainable….and that’s ok.  I have still been able to get workouts in this last week and a half, just not at the gym and therefore not exactly as I would have liked to.  But its OK….I can take a step back, not beat myself up, and offer myself another opportunity to redo.  Granted this 12 week program will have turned into 14 weeks, but at least I will finish it knowing that I didn’t cheat the program or myself.  I stayed committed and did my best.  And when I couldn’t do my best, I took a second shot at it.  So…..starting next Monday I will be working hard to DO IT RIGHT….do my last week justice and finish this program with a bang! Until then, I will work out as hard as I can, wherever I can and continue to feel good knowing that I am benefitting my body and mind.
