Struggling with Your Fitness Journey and an Injury

Oh how stressful it is to be so darn excited about prepping for your next Figure Competition and then strain your back... GAHH.. when it rains, it pours!  Sometimes I feel that way!! But I will say, I have been blessed in so many other ways, so these small set backs I am going through is only going to help me be stronger in the end right?! :)

I want to share with you my struggles because this is part of my being real with you and letting you know, no matter what obstacles get in your way, if you want something bad enough, YOU can still make it happen!  It may not be on YOUR time, but it will be on God's time for sure! Obstacles and set backs are NOT a sign to give up... I know sometimes we may think... "Oh I guess it wasn't meant to be."  NO!! Lose that negative attitude!! It's called, "Sometimes we have to FIGHT for what we WANT!"

I will say I am NOT giving up on training for my show... but I will have to set it back just a little.. I was pushing it with the timing to begin with, so this is just going to give me a little more time to heal and make sure I go ALL IN!! Since Im an "ALL IN" kinda girl! :)

So the past couple days have been lots of stretching, PiYo, and bicycle even for my cardio at the gym.. My nutrition has been much better since I really need to focus! I've been doing at least 2 SHAKEOLOGY meals a day to make sure I'm really getting my nutrition, and then lots of foods high in protein, healthy fats, and complex carbs (fibrous carbs)!

When I say nutrition is 80% of your results, Im not lying! It makes a huge difference, so although I cannot weight train, I can still eat clean and keep on track in that area! I know veggies are hard to get in, esp for breakfast which is WHY I incorporate my SHAKEOLOGY, but its important to be creative and find ways to get those veggies in! 

This was my breakfast for today!  Egg whites, Sweet potato, and I used Frozen veggies and added fresh jalepenos from my garden! It's all about clean eating and budgeting! You do NOT always have to do fresh veggies... I know it gets expensive.. unfortunately we pay for quality.. but frozen is great without preservatives and sodium as canned foods would have!

 So now you got some clean eating tips, budgeting tip, and you can be ready to rock your own fitness journey!! 

If you are struggling on your own journey due to an injury, TAKE ONE DAY AT A TIME! I know it is frustrating, but it will not make you a failure UNLESS you give up!! Giving up is not allowed in my books!!
