It's The Small Victories That Sometimes Count The Most!

Hello everyone and welcome back!
I hope you are all gearing up for the weekend! Make sure you enjoy your much needed rest and relaxation!
This week has been a huge motivator for me. I have felt some lows from my caffeine withdrawals but for the most part I have felt a lot more highs.  The amount of energy I have been getting from these workouts has been a real inspiration. My body feels a lot “cleaner” from only drinking water, and the number on the scale seems to be going down slightly. I don’t want to call it weight loss yet because your weight will consistently fluctuate a few pounds. I will, however, call it a small victory!
Wednesday:
I worked out with a friend and we followed the set workout routine. Since I had a workout buddy with me I definitely tried to kick it up a notch. After the workout I felt good. For the first time this week I have not been sore so that was a plus. I had the same slight headache I have been dealing with all week. I really think it is because I have not been indulging in my energy drinks and am going through a form of withdrawal from lack of caffeine. I am not craving the drinks, just the caffeine.
Thursday:
Today I woke up and went the whole day without a headache! I went through the workday without a problem and did a few social events this evening too. By the time I got home this evening I really didn’t feel like working out. I thought to myself that my whole idea is about taking the right steps towards health. Even though I might not sprint each step, just moving in the right direction is a good idea. So I laced up the shoes and did a good eighteen minute warmup followed up by stretching, weights, core and finished with a quick cooldown. I will admit I was not excited about working out at first but by the time the first drop of sweat hit the floor I was back in it!
I hope your workouts and nutrition has been going well for you. Remember, you don’t always have to sprint, just keep moving in the right direction!
