So my Turbo Fire 55EZ class today needs to be renamed…TurboFire 90 HARD. But I did finish it!
It has been a long two weeks. We have all been sick and then after I thought we were on the mend…STREP! Needless to say my workouts have been a little scarce over the past couple weeks.
Today I was determined to get a full workout in and I decided to do some TurboFire in conjunction with my P90X 90 day challenge. So I want to do both for the last month of P90X. Well…today was roughbut I prevailed!
With needy kids, getting my daughter ready for Kindergarten, breakfast, baths, lunch, medication, and runny noses it literally took 90 minutes to get i my 55 minute workout.
With the added running around with the kids I am claiming a 90 minute workout and not just 55 minutes. Even though I had to pause the TV…a lot…it is not like I was sitting doing nothing. I was running up and down the stairs, bending over the tube washing hair and bodies…you get the idea.
The whole point of this post is really a simple point. I know I have been guilty of giving up when everything seemed to be to hectic in the past. A couple years ago I would have turned off the DVD player and been really pissed off and then had a negative day. I would have NOT finished my 55 EZ workout but I am a different person now and all because of my mental health journey. I did NOT get myself get irritated and frustrated. I simply just “went with it.” I hit pause, did what I needed to do, cam back and finished. In the end I feel good, kids are taken care of and so is Mommy. This is the biggest thing I hear from other Mom’s. We forget to take care of ourselves and that is how the unhealthy life creeps up on us.
So my challenge to everyone who reads this…take the time to do what you need to do and do NOT let the obstacles bring negativity into your mind! Period…it is easy really. It may take some getting used to but I promise that practice makes perfect!
Here is to a healthy home and more workouts completed this week!
Have w wonderful day!
