Greetings!!
We've made it through another Monday.... Alright I have a confession to make. My friends and family know that the past couple of weeks have been very challenging for me emotionally. With that being said...Yes, I have given in to emotional eating on more that one occasion during the past couple of weeks. But before you throw stones at me let me share the insight I've gained from the ordeal. Life happens and will continue to happen as long as we're here and NO ONE is perfect! I made some poor nutritional choices pizza and a burger from a fast food establishment, however if nothing else I found out that the crap food doesn't bring me the joy I once thought it did.
So for me that's a victory! I've learned that the healthier version not only fuels my body better, but it also tickles my tongue better too.
Exercise Entry: Today was leg day and today we went pretty hard. Sumo squats, pushing the weighted sleds and the room of pain all after cardio and warm up! Today I had more energy and was overall in a better mood than I have been in. I enjoyed my training session  a lot today.
Tip of the week: Don't be afraid to look back at old photos of yourself and celebrate the progress you've made. Your progress won't look like anyone else's and it shouldn't each one of us was uniquely designed by The Master Artist, our heavenly father and he made each of us with individual qualities and characteristics for a reason... enjoy your journey and stop comparing it to anyone else's!

How are you keeping yourself motivated? How do you bounce back from a difficult week? I'd love to hear your story... connect with me on Instagram @FollowMyJourney24, Snapchat&Twitter @MyJourney24 or follow the link to my YouTube Channel

Silent Killer

From my heart... Being a mental health professional I hear people talk about depression and mental illness all day everyday. I read the statistics and reports about the "system" failing individuals quite frequently, But, when tragedy hits close to home it can be a LOUD  wake-up call! It's hard for me to understand the fact that mental illness is still a taboo thing. I personally don't understand why it's not a more discussed topic, why there aren't enough resources and access to treatment. Here in the US we have option after option for physical healthcare. If you don't like a physician for whatever reason all you have to do is walk across the hall or drive across the street and there are at least 10 more for the choosing. Why aren't there just as many easy options for mental healthcare treatment?  These day there is a checklist for "warning signs" for every ailment out there and I want to be sure that depression warning signs are top of mind...
