Clumsy girl gonna clumsy

Stoopid mind...games. I don't know that I sleep super good anyway and after making the commitment to go Bold with CG I was anxious and could not get to sleep last night.  Don't get me wrong, I am stoked, dedicated and truly excited for this journey; it is just, after a long exhausting weekend I worry that my motivation for real ME time falls to the back burner, behind sleep.
My mind plays tricks, works its way into my dreams and fiddles with me, making me think i am awake and that i will not be able to hear an alarm or that I have missed it all together even. Just when i think i have defeated the game, I realize i have spent sleeping energy on not waking up, when i realize I am still asleep and begin to sleep MY Alarm goes OFF...It feels like I have been hitting the snooze button restlessly and not really sleeping.
The good news ...i think...i am handling it better...

Did not mean to bury the lead there...I am CG Bold!!! I have made a commitment to better my self! I have some really great support and like i have said already (probably a few times) I am already feeling results.  My energy level increased almost immediately and my motivation to just do anything has gone off the charts.  My patience and ability to play and keep up with my kids is almost overwhelming! They are so fun and I almost feel like i need to apologize to them for waiting so long to get my act together.

Today was a tough work out...I did not think i could dislike an exercise/movement more than Burpees...but that Macarena can double suck it!
I was lucky enough to be partnered with an actual energizer bunny and wow did she rock it!!!
I really appreciated her and my trainer who both picked me up when I crash landed doing side shuffles...all body parts are fine, wrist being iced and is good.
I am exhausted and spent, but charged and ready for my day.
I did run* the entire first warm up lap, but solidly walked the second with weights.
*and by run i mean maaayyybe it was a jog but definitely faster than...ok well maybe a delicate speed walk.

My hope is that the person(s) partnering up with me are getting a solid work out and not taking it easy because I am stumbling or actually falling down. I get such encouragement from this team and awesome group of people dedicated to their fitness.

I really thought that today was the day I would actually throw up (and briefly considered it when I got home..) but i did not...I got home and had my super delicious Chocolate Milk recovery right out of the carton! It was a challenge to not chug the entire thing, but well...moderation and all of that.

Give Hugs and/or High Fives Freely!!! Just keep moving!!!

Through Him and from my heart!
