It has been a hot minute since I have taken the time out of my day to write out a blog. I’ve thought about it. . . for months actually.
Life has been a bit on the chaotic side recently or well the last few months if we’re being honest. The past two months I joined an 8 week transphormation challenge with 1st Phorm, hence, transPHORMation challenge. It got me into such a good routine, I spent the past two months doing a lot of self reflecting, working on myself, finding new goals and creating a plan to achieve them. I took the time to really focus on me. The challenge is an 8 week fitness challenge, taking part in this I enjoyed the fact that I didn’t have to create my own workouts, I got to follow along a schedule that was set up for me based on my life schedule. I was waking up every morning before work and putting in some serious workouts to start my days. & It felt great!!! Really, it did. However, as I reached the last two weeks I got sick and it took me one full week to recover. Now I am in the last week, one day until the last day and I have only ran 3 times this week with only completing half of a circuit workout. BUT getting back into it after a week of being seriously run down and fatigued with no appetite I think it has been the best way for my body to get back into accomplishing those tough morning workouts. Wednesday- Friday of this week I ran 3 miles each morning and Friday completed two sets of a circuit workout and due to timing finished early to get ready for work. BUT I DID SOMETHING!!
. . . if you know me… then you know 3 miles for me is a warm up or a rest day kinda workout for me. What I’m trying to say is that I haven’t felt very ‘accomplished’ the past two weeks yet at the same time I know that I needed the time to heal.
It is so important to listen to your body even when striving for specific goals.
Now I'm on my third week from being sick and am feeling SO much better. I have gone to the gym or worked out Monday-Friday.
My point is that especially during this pandemic of 2020 I am so thankful to be alive, to have the body I have. I am thankful for my dedication and motivation to achieve my goals no matter the set back. #iam1stphorm #1stphorm #1stphormathletesearch
