Joy Bracero, Healthy Lifestyle Coach : You never go back to the Starting line - Push to the Finish line (Then it's time to RESTART) #21DFX

Have you said this to yourself "I'll just start OVER on Monday"

"I missed a day or two working out I guess this doesn't work for me" or "I ate bad yesterday, it was a party so, forget it I'll just wait until Monday and start over"

This was what we, my hubby and I contemplated over our weekend camping trip.

This was our thought Sunday after not pressing play. TRUTH, We didn't miss our Sunday workout, we choose to not do it, we had time, we had space, we had everything we needed and we chose not to do it. So yes, naturally we would say I guess we will just start over tomorrow right? well I said no! We will continue tomorrow day 8 Why? because you do not see or feel change without challenges and you do not reach your goal or your destination if you keep turning back to reset at the start line, you continue running everyday, you can stop off at the medical tent, the water station but you don't turn around, you continue going and pushing to the finish line. Our #21DFX is more than 21 days for me it's race after race where I will continually be better, beat my own records and challenge myself to push, to focus to see the me I want looking back at me in the mirror.
We Don't go back to the Start we push to the Finish line celebrate the accomplishment and then Restart our race again the next day. It's a lifestyle of training, of fueling your body and enjoying your progress each time.

Our Nutrition wasn't hard to stick with away, we didn't pack junk snacks, when you want chips if you only have apples and almonds guess what that's what you eat. When you bring your approved meals and opt out of restaurants you eat your own healthy cooking. But, I'm a sucker for enjoying life and eating food I LOVE food I love the healthy salads, berries, apples and goat cheese to a point of too much of a good thing is bad. Yes, I ate too many containers this weekend so I was thinking I eat when I have time of my hands I eat a bite here and a bite there. Do I START over? No I learn to Think before I eat and keep track using my app don't let a good time sabotage my results.

This is a learning curve for me again, each program is a challenge, with new moves... remember the resistance bands that is a work in progress, even trying new foods and new portions, but that's what changes me to be better, a challenge can either change you for the better or keep defeating you and sending your back to the Start line.

I have a choice to Start over or to Press on and Monday we chose to press on and do better this week and even better the in the following weeks because we are not doing this short term we are running a race of life a healthy life filled with starts and finishes and lots of celebrations for learning, growing and stretching our boundaries.

I love being on this journey with my Hubby the support is great along with the competition in the gym and the victories of saying no to junk food together.
