A Day Late…

So, I was actually shocked yesterday when I was called out for missing a Wednesday blog post to chat about how things are going!

Oops!

Well… here is where I’m at. I’m on a brand new journey.

This week I started over. I gave myself a brand new “starting weight” & everything.

I have spent so much time looking back. For the past two years I have looked back. I have looked back to how different life is. I have looked back to my journey & the success I have had & the times I failed. I have been looking back at the mistakes I have made in all the areas of my life.

I look around right now & my life is completely different than I ever imagined. Nothing around me looks the same but yet, I feel more me than I have ever been.

What I have learned is that when you’re in the middle of a storm, or hitting your own rock bottom, you learn a lot about yourself. You make a lot of mistakes but that happens there because in the dark, it’s hard to see.

A lot of my “rock bottom” or “storm” or {whatever you would like to call it} period in time, I hid from everyone. I have always been the strong, confident, determined, courageous one & I struggled to let anyone see me in any other way than that. I did not want to let others see my pain.

But, today, I stand here completely okay with those moments. Today, I am here & no longer hide. I am truly happy with who I am; happy with my life. Everything in life happens for a reason & I cannot say there is a page I would change.

This week I just felt like I needed a fresh start in my weight loss journey. A brand new beginning. A place to just start moving forward again & no more looking back & pointing out to myself how far I’ve traveled backwards.

I have no shame in starting over. I haven’t quit & to me, that is what counts. I get up every single day & try. But, over time I have allowed life changes & just life in general to creep up into my way.

So, here is to a new day one! A new journey that I will be sure to show you all along the way. I have started with the 21 Day Fix. In terms of the workouts, some modifications will be done because of my leg injury. Also, some modifying will be done because I cannot believe how much strength I lost in the almost two months I was sidelined. I truly feel like a beginner again and that’s okay.

Why? Because any beginning is exciting.

Until Next Time~
