I will be totally honest; not working out was a complete MIND F*$%.
I have anxiety, and my workouts are my holistic medicine. Since working out, I have been relieved of almost all symptoms and have been able to handle daily stress with EASE and be able to tackle what life throws at me with GUSTO :P
During this past four weeks, I've been overly emotional, not thinking clearly, making rash decisions, and feeling insecure, leading to anxiety.
It wasn't as bad as it WAS prior to starting fitness, but I definitely started to feel myself spiral, so to say I'm ecstatic to start workouts is an understatement.
POST-OP
I am happy to report I have had NO pain, I have full mobility of my arms and chest, and my boobs are beginning to look more NORMAL and NOT like balloons sitting near my neck. LOL And I LOVE them!!! I was SO nervous I would hate them because they were SO high up on my chest! But THANKFULLY they have fallen, just as promised.
I was given the go ahead to incorporate in cardio, however, can't do chest workouts for another week. Just ONE more week!
I HAVE however, been doing burpees. I would NOT suggest doing this, BUT, I was working out and didn't think twice and by the end, realized I shouldn't have done them. However, I believe in listening to my body, and my body had NO issue. I have heard many stories of women who felt like they couldn't, experienced pain, etc., none of which were felt by me. I am refraining from lifting weights and push ups but am doing plank and burpees at this point. I am NOT overdoing it, as much as I'd like to and keeping it at only a few per workout.
Moving Forward
I am now starting 22 Minute Hard Corps (Wooo!!! Finally!!), however I can ONLY do the Cardio workouts until next Wednesday. Instead of repeating the 3 cardio workouts, I am incorporating in Insanity Max 30 until I can do the full program and calendar for 22 minute.
I will be honest here, I thought it would be a BREEZE of a program, but HOT DAMN, it may only be 22 minutes, but I am pouring sweat by the end!
The first workout SUCKED because I hadn't worked out in so long. I felt like my body was CEMENT. But after about 2-3 workouts I now feel back to where I was for Cardio endurance which blows my mind after such a long break!
Sometimes your body might just need a break to come back BETTER than EVER.
Here is my MEAL PLAN and Calendar to get BACK in the game!
We have our annual Coach Summit on July 28th, and my GOAL is to take my fitness to the next level. I have already conquered so many goals, I want to take on NEW ones and push myself. Once you've reached a goal, refine your NEW goals o keep you going in the direction you want! I have been staying the same for the last 6 months, and it's time to kick it up. The only thing I am changing is my nutrition plan, and I will be incorporating in weight lifting 3X/week.
How amazing is it that if you WANT a different body, you can sculpt it? Just like that. Push play everyday and dial in on your nutrition. Put good food in your house and EAT good food. Its THAT simple. {{willpower is an entirely new post LOL Don't buy it! It just eliminates the want!}}
Using my containers, going to be drinking my shake on the DAILY, and getting in my workout, no matter WHAT is going on.
There is so much I want to do this year, so much I want to experience, learn, grow... But for me to live out MY BEST, I know what I need to do in my fitness so I CAN conquer all I want to!
BEFORE PICTURES + STATS coming soon! I DID gain weight: a CRUISE, three weeks of no workouts, copious amounts of cheesecake, pizza and gin, Easter weekend + Mini Eggs {need I say more?!} and I am NOT feeling my best, so I am EXCITED to get back my ENERGY!!
My next group is starting the fourth week of April. If you want added accountability, motivation, support + a NEW and exclusive challenge group with progress tracking, email me at krystynahamiltonfit@gmail.com and we'll get you started! :)
