That Awkward Moment When....

Okay, it's only awkward if you make it awkward! 

Tonight I had one of those great sessions in the gym where I suddenly notice myself in the mirror and go, "Yeah... I'd hit that." Okay maybe not lol, but every once in a while you reach some new level you've never seen yourself at before, and for a moment you get to see yourself as an outsider. It's really amazing to recognize how much progress you've made and see your own beauty. 

These moments are what keep me working, striving for the next one. And yes, they can happen all the time! For me it's usually a particular muscle that is showing new definition I've never experienced before. So if it's my quads this week, it might be my abs next week, there's always progress happening all the time. If you push yourself you WILL see the results, and they might make you give yourself a wink! 😉

Get Lo, get health, get fit! 

Go-to Gear Episode 1

My number one go-to that I want to highlight would be my collection of Oakley sports bras - can't beat them! I literally wear them every day, and not just at the gym! Sooo comfy! Weather you need a light yoga bra or a super supportive bra for running there are tons of great options!

No Excuses!

After working out the other night, I went to cool down with ten minutes of cardio. As soon as I began I realized my legs were not up for it at all after having just killed them the day before. "Yeah, I should probably just do five minutes since I'm still so sore from leg day," I found myself thinking...

"Hold on, what?" I thought, "Ten minutes is unmanageable? Surely not."

Let me tell you, those ten minutes were more than I WANTED to do, but they were well within my ability to complete.

No Excuses!

You've heard it before, of course, but probably most often in the context of you excusing yourself to another. The one you've got to worry about is yourself - you're the only one who is actually going to change your behavior when you realize you're making an excuse. Learn to recognize when you're making an excuse to yourself vs. when you are actually pushing yourself too hard or causing injury - usually you can push yourself a little harder!
