Lessons

As some of you know, I have been facing a major test(probably more like a mid-term) in my life the past couple of weeks.  My "training",  physically, mentally, spiritually the past year has all been for this moment in time.  The lessons we learn do not always come swiftly, but come with many "quizzes and tests".   Some I have failed, but always with the opportunity to take it again.  So really, do we ever fail?  No, they are lessons that are learned and reinforced by the situations in our lives.  Some of us are slow learners, but we get it eventually.
The lesson I have learned this week is one of asking those questions Carlos has been teaching us.  "What just happened?"  What is the remedy for this?"  Granted , I did not ask them in these very words, but still the same.  Our life is made up of choices.  Sometimes we don't always make the right choices and we learn from them, even as painful as they may be.
This weeks lessons were in Shutting up that Dream Stealer!  That dream stealer comes as those inner thoughts we have of fear and wanting to just quit.  But if we speak truth to that dream stealer, he will have to flee...he really has no backbone.
The Truth for me came in by way of Peace for me today.  Words are powerful...words we speak and words we think in our inner man...words that can kill  and words that can heal.  Unfortunately, there have been some hurtful words spoken these past few weeks.  But, the wounds can heal...and it comes by way of forgiveness and peace.  Has it ended like I would like it to have? No.  But it does end in  forgiveness and peace!   And it is in that forgiveness and peace that a Transformation occurs!
It is also in our physical journey's, that we do have to come to a place of inner peace and forgive ourselves of past "wrongs" so that we are able to move forward and achieve our physique goals.

Today I did steady state cardio.   Food has been all to my plan.
I am moving forward.

I am looking forward to taking my pics this weekend.  I just know my tummy is going to see some major results.  I already feel my tummy is flatter!

I AM a Warrior!
