Day 4: 21 Day Fix - Don't Give Up

Hey everyone!

When I first woke up this morning, I thought wow, I'm not really that sore at all! (See Day 3's Morning Update). As I got to work and began my crazy job of running a summer camp I realized, damn was I wrong! My thighs wanted to secede from my body and I began to get this really bad knot in my shoulder. So, what's a girl to do? Hydrate throughout the day, ibuprofen, essential oils, tiger balm, and a shower at the end of it. Never quit.

Ironically, the workout, which was in fact my shoulders and upper body, made my should hurt less. I think this had a ton to do with the warm up and Autumn's reminders to get the shoulders loose. My habit is to tense them and I think doing that during Pilates yesterday led to the pain today. Regardless, no excuses, I completed the workout and am super happy that I did.

The biggest area I need to work on is nutrition. I know that if I don't get this down that I'm not going to see all the results. Today my cold/allergies worsened so I spent most of the day really nauseous. I had my fab Shakeology this morning then couldn't get down anything else except water and a cup of coffee all day due to the build up in my sinuses. I had a tortilla with a little cheese when I got in and then managed a green smoothie made by my lovely roommate for dinner.

Not quite the fuel I need to sustain all this working out and that's going to make everything else harder. Send me any tips/suggestions/ideas you have for staying strong and finding nutrition in a busy work day when you can't stop! (Either through comments or pins; my pinterest is out of control). I'm off to pack myself a solid lunch for the field trip tomorrow and I'm ready to kick ass.

Fitspo love!

Morning Update: My legs ache worse and my shoulder/neck stiffness is very bad and painful. Today is low key, so I will see how it goes on that front.

We're off to the races, so let's do this!
