So I have not fell off the crossfit wagon or the paleo wagon or the zone wagon (well maybe a little during the last few weeks diet wise) but I have just lacked total will to blog. I think mostly it's because I haven't been making the amazing progress and quick progess that I was kinda hoping for.
I have been awesome about my crossfitting making it to the gym at least 4 times a week usually 5 or 6 and sometimes multiple times in one day and the past week I've been doing yoga and crossfit each day.
Yoga is awesome and it's a nice change of pace from crossfitting.
I have come to realize a few things the past few months as I am learning to create a new priority called exercise. Growing up my mom and I would go in phases (she still does) we would wake up early and exercise before school/work every morning for months. . .then summer would come or schedules would change and we would stop and then we'd start again. And this is kinda how I always have done my fitness and dieting. . .until now. I have to do this for ALWAYS from here on out, I can't skip a few days or a few weeks or a few months, and as much as I love it some days it would be so much easier to just stay home with the family. If I ever want to achieve my fitness goals or even be "fit" I have to put in the time and the work EVERYDAY.
It is hard making this huge change now and I didn't understand how much it was affecting my husband and son too. I don't see them as much. I'm almost never home in the morning when my son gets up and I almost never put him to bed at night. I think these are huge sacrifices for both of us not to mention my incredible husband that gets up with him and puts him down every day. But I fear that if I don't sacrifice these small moments now that I will die that much sooner or my husband and son will be the ones taking care of me sooner rather than later, there is much more to be lost in the future than the moments I am sacrificing now.
If you asked my husband if it was worth it. . .I don't think he'd say yes right now but he will, and I have to work that much harder so that he can start reaping the benefits of my healthier lifestyle sooner rather than later.
