Day 4 Lower Fix Extreme

Was just sharing live in my client group that this week has been rough for me. I'm actually feeling grateful that I even recommitted to another program because I suspect with just continuing an old one, I just might have lost my momentum. I talk to a lot people who say they couldn't do what I do. Or that they're too busy with family. But the truth is my life is nutty. I have a family and they make it just insanely busy this week --with a bunch of little things with some members getting me down at times and end of the school year games, parties, recitals... Then it's that my daughter is leaving for Russia in ten days and all the prep for that. I could curl up a times and let my workout slide or not eat well. I could sink into being very sad. But I don't. I don't because as I told my group,   I'm brought back to earth, grounded by that kite string.  I'll never be left to flap in the wind. Just as you reel that thin string in for a kite, the person holding that end is grounded. Right? That's how I feel when things get crazY. When the stress is piling up. I can still be reeled back in. So, without being clobbered ok? Consider that perhaps you are just using your family as an excuse , and heck, I know because I did. I found it easier to just sink into them and ignore all the things that I needed to work on me. It was hard as hell today to get this workout done . As soon as I was about to, my husband had another idea for what he wanted ... Something to do with coffee and sweets... So I stood my ground and explained I needed to get my workout in NOW, not later , or I wouldn't be in a good state of mind - wouldn't be much use to talk to, and certainly wouldn't have any energy to give him the attention he needed. That's what I'm talking about: setting some boundaries in a healthy way. They might not always like your answer, but they'll respect the intention. 

Also I did kill it on the squat lunges! Way better than last year when I did this. I'm feeling and seeing the results of my muscle build over the winter-- major solid and it's helping me get through these sessions . Feel like the 30 min is blowing by fast! And I like that!
