So our crossfit coach posted a motivational quote about sacrificing different things to meet our goal...she then asked us what we have sacrificed to achieve our own goal. I thought about all the things I have lost. in no particular order:
- My ability to sleep late...at 4:45am the alarm goes off and we head to the 'box'.
- Some 'friends' that became toxic and no longer supportive of my future goals.
- heartburn after dinner
- the feeling of extreme fullness and disgust after Every. Single. Meal.
- The wearing of heels. I mean, my Nano's for xfit and being barefoot for boxing counts right?
- the desire to shop at Ulta, Sephora, Mac. Yikes...it is now Dicks, Amazon, Finish Line
- hell, a few inches are gone too...
- The desire to sit on my butt and watch TV All. Night. Long.
- The lack of willpower
- The ability to say 'I can't do it' - F*ck that. I am Going to do it, or at least try my best!
- Pounds and Pounds of the past...literally and figuratively
- Lack of conversation starters..WOD anyone? Jab Cross Jab? 5K?
Those are some of the things I have lost throughout this journey. Not too shabby huh? Some things I have gained?
- Confidence
- shopping in more stores
- friendships
- self awareness
- Palm soreness
- muscle aches (the kind that feel great though!)
- Determination
- a new desire for my future (health coach!)
- having no limits
- the ability to push my body harder than it ever has been pushed
- the awareness to Love and Hate your coaches at the same time (sorry Jamie, Dan, and Renee!!)
- a life.
What are some of your losses and gains??? Please comment!
