No Quitting!

I cannot believe we are in the final weeks for the Spring round of Wainwright Booty Busters! I have to say, that even though I enjoyed the Fall and Winter round.....this one has been the best, Maybe because I am finding my rhythm with the whole thing, maybe it's the frank desire this group of ladies has to bust their booties and their willingness to try new things. Whatever the case, it's been really positive.

The challenges for this past week were designed to help bust some plateaus.

I do believe that the further we go along this journey to being healthier, we can fall into a rut. At the beginning, eating better and moving a little more was enough to see results. That doesn't last, and that can get scary and a teeny bit depressing. It can feel like all the hard work you've done just wasn't enough, the the thought of doing more .....it can be incredibly daunting.

Maybe you're already working out for 30-60 minutes a day. Maybe you feel like you're about the sprout floppy ears and a cute little cotton tail because of all the veggies you're consuming. Maybe, when the scale stopped moving you felt like heading over to your closest mega-mart and buying all your old "favourites" and spending the evening eating all of it....because, if you're not losing weight, then what's the point!!!!!!!


THE POINT!!!!


*Every time you exercise, your body gets stronger, your heart gets healthier.
*Every time you choose not to binge, you choose to step forward on your healthier path.
*Every time you get up off the couch and get your body moving, you move a little further away from the sluggish shell of a person you used to be.

Only a pound down this week? Hmmm, looks like a lot to me.

Success: not always how you think it will be.
