WHMP: 27 September 2017

It’s Wednesday again, this day of the week comes around so quickly!

I wasn’t expecting a big week after my amazing results last week.

This week – 0.6kg

Since surgery – 56.3kg

Total -75.2kg

Today I want to reflect on something that I have learnt to do. Something that I have ignored my entire life…..learning to listen to my body, listen to my heart and knowing my boundaries and limits.

While I am so very committed to this journey and to achieving my goals which involves me going to the gym 4-5 times a week. Tonight was one of my planned nights to go the gym but instead I made a conscious decision to listen to my body and allow myself a rest night.

Yesterday was a stressful and draining day and today I am so flat and exhausted tonight that I am stopping and acknowledging what my body is telling me and it’s telling me one thing…..REST!

There are times that I will push through and keep myself focused and dedicated but there are other times like tonight where I need to put a pause to my crazy hectic and sometimes out of control schedule and be completely OK doing absolutely nothing curled up on the couch watching some crappy TV shows. I know at times it’s so important for me to listen to what my body is saying and not only listen but to stop and take notice too.

It’s about understanding and knowing the limitations of of my body and balancing my life…..regardless of my size.
