"Only a (wo)man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his (her) soul and come up with the extra ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even." . Mohammad Ali . . . I got back on my mat for hot batman vinyasa this morning. It was a fantastic class taught by Jimmy Barkan himself. My favorite thing he said this morning was "don't look at the advanced people". They're just in a different place and the trade off isn't worth it. Comparison truly is the thief of joy. . . . Yoga wiped me out tho these days. I totally hate that it does. I want my freakin energy back. HOWEVER I did not let that stop me from doing today's Core de Force workout MMA Speed 2.0. Its on the schedule and I'm determined to see this program through. It will take me nearly 40 days instead of 30 but so be it. I had some days that knocked me down. . . My nutrition is ON POINT - for me - I snitched only 2 of Bella's m&ms, drank my water, ate my protein, veggies and fruits. Don't ask me the appeal of cheese popcorn and wine for dinner but that was my preference 😆 on days that I didn't care to make good choices. . I'm in this full force and effect. I am so tired of being knocked down by obstacles - I am in for the win!!
