Ouch!

My whole body aches!! Seriously. I am in so much pain.
Ive been on this major health kick for a while now and Ive been taking all sorts of intense classes at the gym. I've been varying between yoga, pilates, and cardio/flex classes. Its tough work, especially my work with the weights. My arms were literally shaking in class today. I wonder if thats normal. And I wonder when it will start to get easier. I've begun to see some definition in my arms, which is encouraging, but I know I have a while to go...

I am inspired when I see toned bodies. I want to be at my physical best. I love the way I feel when I am in shape. It gives me confidence and strength. I know I can do this.

I've also been trying to eat healthier. I pack my lunches (which also happens to save me a lot of money!) and try to make smarter choices at the vending machine.

My coach encourages us to ground ourselves in "pivotal self-care". To me, that means eating right, working out, and getting enough rest. Thats the only way we can be at our personal best, and be fully present for others. You cant be of much help to others if you are not in a good spot yourself. So, are you taking care of yourself? :)
