Getting bikini ready!

I can't believe that we're halfway through January already!!! Yikes! Before we know it, we'll be shedding those puffy winter coats and thick sweaters for sheer fabrics and (gulp...) bikinis! I refuse to spend another year fretting over every jiggle and bulge in my bathing suit. What about you? Are you ready to make a change and enter summer as a new, confident you?!?

My team's last 30 day challenge had an average weight loss of 15+ pounds. That could be you!

Overcoming Fears

I am registered to do a Mud Run next weekend, and I'm terrified that I'm not ready for it. I've been working out consistently for a few months, but something about running this race has got me shaking in my boots, or rather, my Nikes. I hate to admit it, but I've begun to question myself and if I am truly capable of completing this race. I've even considered what excuses I could make to get out of it just to prevent the possibility that I might fail.

I've had to shake myself back awake and out of the fear that I've put myself in. I may not be the best runner. I may not be completely successful at all of the obstacles. At the end of the day though, I know that I will be thrilled with myself for completing the race, even if it's not perfect. I'm going to put on my big girl panties and lace up those sneakers and dive right into it!

Moral of the story today: You don't have to be perfect, you just have to believe in yourself enough to try.


UPDATE: I DID IT!!!
It was incredibly difficult, but I felt amazing afterwards, although sore. I believed in myself, and killed it! I may not have been the fastest or most fit person there, but at the end of the day I succeeded in my eyes, and that's all that matters.
