Part of the venture to seek a healthier me means I need to listen to body when it tells me I need to take a day. As long as it's only a day. I will be back at it tomorrow, picking up right where I left off. The 21 Day Fix doesn't have an actual rest day, only an active rest day where you do yoga. I have learned to really enjoy my day of stretching. However, after 3 weeks straight of no rest days, my body deserves one. So rather than pushing myself into a place that causes me to be frustrated because I am so exhausted I decided to let myself rest tonight. I feel good about this decision. Which is definitely progress for me. Before I would feel guilt-stricken and worry that I would fall off the wagon. Not this time. I know that tomorrow I will be well rested to pick it back up and my body will thank me for it!
I did manage to stay completely on track on my birthday a couple days ago. I was worried I would cave in to some sort of cheat food, but I didn't. I gave myself the greatest gift this year: the gift of health. So we went bowling and even though T and EB had pizza, I had nothing. We went to the movie theater and saw How to Train Your Dragon 2 (AWESOME movie by the way!) and I got water. I ate a very late lunch after we got home and then T made a fabulous supper of walleye, shrimp, and asparagus while I did yoga.
I even got flowers! And of course a turtle! :)
All in all I had a pretty great day. There were some frustrating parts to it, but aren't there always? I managed to get out of my funk and enjoy my day even though it was Father's Day too. I got to spend some extra time with N that evening as well too.
So now I have one more round of the 21 Day Fix to do before PiYo comes out and that will be my program for the remainder of the summer. I am thinking that I will hit my 140s goal by the end of this week, which has me super excited! And I know that PiYo will get me to my ultimate goal by the end of the summer. I just can't wait to see what that looks like! Having not been this size in years, I am almost nervous about what that looks like, but that's for another post!
