Feeling Strong

Today I did Upper Fix, and noticed another awesome change. As soon as I started, I realized my thighs were still sore. But that's not all. I felt STRONG.

For someone who has felt weak for a long time, feeling strength is absolutely amazing. I still had to modify planks due to my back, but overall I felt like I could kick that workout's patooty. It felt amazing.

By the end of the workout I was tired and rather drained, but I pushed myself. Upped my weights. There is so much more to this change than just how I look and how I feel. It's also helping me gain the strength I need to be able to stand on my two feet and own my place in this world.

This is doubles week, where if we want we can double up on workouts a certain way to maximize calorie burn. I didn't do Pilates Fix last night as my back was aching so much. But I'm going to do it today, though I may not do the suggested Cardio Fix. It's been a learning curve for me the last few years, because I tend to have an all or nothing mentality I've been trying to change. So I've been trying to accept that I have physical limitations and that I can still accomplish things by working around them.

So what if it's not easy for me. All I care about is that it's possible.
