We're half way through December and I'm about half way through P90X. This week, I'm dealing with minor neck pain and I've decided to listen to my body and hold off on working out. What I didn't realize is how much my daily workouts have contributed to my confidence and positive thoughts. While resting and not working out, my internal dialogue has definitely changed. I am wrestling with positive/negative patterns in my behavior mainly due to what I'm thinking.
Everything is my life is a process and I've learned to keep moving forward now matter how many obstacles I am dealing with during a particular phase. I know with a positive attitude, determination, a little perspiration and a desire to keep going that I will get to my goal.
I have said this before, and I don't know why it happens, but when things start to calm down in my life, that's when I start to back off. This mental shift seems to happen only when I notice things appear to be getting easier. I ask myself this questions, as I've seen Dr. Phil ask his guests, "What is your payout, what am I getting out of this?" I cannot answer that question. I have no clue.
All I know is that I've taken precautions to equip myself with appropriate tools to help myself through the most difficult time. I've always had an issue with this time of the year, blame it on the Xmas rush, changes in schedules, and some holiday baking. I have joined Weight Watchers to get myself through the holidays without gaining weight. I have to say that it is definitely helping me be accountable and also helps me make better food choices. I feel like I'm stuck but I know I am much better off now than where I was last year at this time.
I just have to keep taking one day at a time! I invite you to join me in WOWY to workout for a chance to win cash and prizes just for logging in your workouts. Next week I will focus on starting Week 7 (instead of Week 8) of P90X and have adjusted my completion date to February 5, 2011. http://bit.ly/dCCO5K
