I was spinning, as my husband affectionately calls it. I was thinking and talking on and on about what I would do next after the challenge to keep the momentum going. I was over-analyzing it to the point that I was getting nowhere fast.
What's funny is that when I stopped and decided to take action instead of just thinking about it, I finally got past it. I first asked myself, would I be able to go to the gym or would I be working out at home? The answer for me at this time is still at home. So then I thought, what do I have here at home that I could use? Resistance bands! We have a whole set from when we did P90X. Then I did a quick Google search for resistance band workout plans, and found a couple of options. Within 5 minutes I chose one I will be trying. If you want to take a look, it is here on Bodybuilding.com. I printed it out, and by doing so I was no longer anxious about the next round. Combining this new workout program with my DDP Yoga DVDs, I believe I will progress even more.
I will write more about the end of this 12-week challenge tomorrow. I spent some time today writing my transformation story, which I'll share here. I also have to take my final pictures and measurements. I've enjoyed this despite the ups and downs. I've learned a lot and now that I have a plan for my next stage, I feel so much better. I believe that my brain was throwing up excuses and fears to put another bump in my path. The key is to recognize those things for what they are, and get out of the overthinking by making a decision and taking action.
I look forward to tomorrow. It is not only the close of this stage, it is the beginning of my next stage to reaching my ultimate targets!
All the best,
OkieGal
