There are only 4 months left in this year… That is a sad thought, isn’t it? My co-worker said it at work yesterday and today it has sunk in. 2018 will be over before we know it and soon we will be ringing in a new year. Time flies when you are having fun!
I joined a gym last Friday and finally went in for my 1st gym workout in years last Monday. It was a little rough since I accidentally got knocked over, but Tuesday felt a lot better especially since I did not trip.
By the time Wednesday hit, I was a nervous wreck. I almost talked myself out of going in to the gym and I think it was because I felt intimidated and nervous about being around other people. Right now I am sticking with Free Weight workouts because that is where I am comfortable. I had to txt my friend and commit to going into the gym. She encouraged me to go and I forced myself to do it.
Thursday was a little better and it was nice because it was my last day of lifting for the week. I have decided that I am going to lift Monday – Thursday and follow each lifting session with Cardio. Friday will be my rest day and I am still figuring out what I am going to do with my weekends. Yesterday I did a booty bands workout followed by Buti Yoga. The yoga felt so good that I am going to do it again today followed by pilates if I feel extra motivated.
AUGUST:
UNCONDITIONAL LOVE
- Quit nagging. I am doing a lot better with this especially now that I am going to the gym. It tires me out enough.
- Listen. I am working on staying present while I listen.
- Cultivate healthy relationships. This is so important to me and I think it is coming along nicely.
- No dumping. I do not have many complaints and that makes it easy to avoid dumping 🙂
- No Complaining. I am getting better with this too.
- Give proofs of love. Yes!
Right now my main priorities are my health / weight loss and my job. Luckily my job is not super strenuous. I just have to provide good customer service and take care of our clients. I am going to do my best to not stress about work because that is not necessary at all. It feels so good to be working out again. I want to keep learning and challenging myself.

This week I want to do a better job of planning out my schedule and sticking with it. What are your goals for this upcoming week? Please comment below to share!
Be Real. Be True. Be-YOU-tifully YOU.
