When will my workouts get easier? And other random babbling.

I ask myself this all the time–> “when will my workouts get easier”?

The answer is -they won't.

If you are challenging yourself and changing up your workout plan every now and then……it will not …and should not…get easier.  But the good news is you will get STRONGER and LEANER.   And isn't that our end goal to this entire fitness life?

As much as I love summer, the stress of having all the kids home and entertaining AND FEEDING them all day long, makes me crazy.  My house is a mess, I run out of food all the time and I need a whistle and a referee uniform.

I always have to remind myself to take a second to breathe and focus again on what I CAN do.

I can go to the gym for an hour, despite how much my kids whine and complain about being in the gym kid care.

While I am there, I focus on intensity and lifting heavy stuff.  No time to chat or make friends, I try and stay focused on my workout plan.

I can make healthy food choices, despite being tempted by the kids goldfish and popsicles.

I absolutely LOVE this protein powder -it tastes incredible and has NO artificial crap in it.  I also drink my greens daily, take a probiotic and focus on eating a lot of lean protein and green veggies. 

I can let the housework/laundry folding go because in reality…..no one else cares but me!

I've been able to do some really cool events,  like the Law Enforcement Torch Run with the Special Olympics.  Having a police escort through the streets of Richmond made me feel like an elite runner!

We have gone to Kings Dominion a few times and I am amazed at how little fear my kids have when it comes to roller coasters.  (I am a wimp)

I'm hoping to do another 10k before the end of the summer, although nothing is planned just yet.  Any suggestions in the Richmond, VA area?  Dit bloggen!
