Yes I can! And I did! I dug deeper today. I pushed harder. I wanted to see what I could do. I found that not only did I do more, I believe I can do more. I'm standing in my power! Most wouldn't believe that this feeling could happen with a workout program, much less a home based one. But the tracking system I'm using along with my trainer's words, help me see that I am being my best self for me. Not for anyone else. Me. It's hard. It takes a lot, including time and commitment. And if I value myself as much as I say I do, then it's worth it. For me, it is. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #fitoversixty #makingthetime #timeforme #commitoyou #myjourney #lovemybody #lovemyself #‎fitatanyage‬ #‎fitateveryage #fitnessisnotasize #fitmindset #moveeveryday #progressnotperfection #nonscalevictories #standinginmypower (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt1d_I5h4V2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=pybwnu935whu

My head was everywhere today. I felt out of sorts and kept wondering what was going on. Also felt like the last thing I wanted to do was workout. So I did. And I was glad I did. See, for those 20 minutes I didn't have to wonder or worry about what was going on. I didn't have to think about this morning, or this afternoon. All I had to do was focus on what was happening in the moment. I let go of what may be and stayed in what is. It's moments like this that I am grateful to have discovered the benefits of exercise beyond the scale. Increased energy, stress relief, better sleep. And most of all, taking time for myself. I found what I needed. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #fitoversixty #makingthetime #timeforme #commitoyou #myjourney #lovemybody #lovemyself #‎fitatanyage‬ #‎fitateveryage #fitnessisnotasize #fitmindset #moveeveryday #progressnotperfection #nonscalevictories (at Bronx, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtpW51IhEoB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12bjasaxn5vqq

This is Day 24 aka Week 4 of Chapter 2: Climb. It's also Wednesday. Today's affirmation is "You've got to dig deeper to go higher. When I looked at my numbers today, I realized that's what I did. I put last week's numbers in my head like a sign post. Something to move towards. Then as I reached it, I glanced at the clock, saw that I had more time and dug deeper. I did not slow down or let my form go. That's what the affirmation means. Just because your goal is within reach does not mean you let up. So that's one of the things I hope you'll consider today. Place your goals somewhere you can see them, take then in, the go. And as you get close, don't let up. You're nearer than you think. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #fitoversixty #makingthetime #timeforme #commitoyou #myjourney #lovemybody #lovemyself #‎fitatanyage‬ #‎fitateveryage #fitnessisnotasize #fitmindset #moveeveryday #progressnotperfection (at Bronx, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtjPPycB9xg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rbgduno2iqzj

This is the face and voice of someone who's goal was to just hit her numbers, and was somewhat taken aback to truly realize what surpassing them really meant. The Climb is real. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #fitoversixty #makingthetime #timeforme #commitome #myjourney #homeworkouts #lovemybody #lovemyself #‎fitatanyage‬ #‎fitateveryage #fitnessisnotasize #fitmindset #moveeveryday #progressnotperfection #nonscalevictories #icandohardthings (at Bronx, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtNSlkvB32K/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1n6prh61c7eak

I did it! I completed the first 2 weeks of my program! To celebrate my graduation I placed my #COMMIT sticker on my step. I earned that sticker. It was hard. I didn't always beat my numbers. But I committed to myself, to taking care of me. And that's what the sticker means to me. And now I start to #CLIMB! My cat wanted in on the celebration too!!! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #fitoversixty #makingthetime #timeforme #commitome #myjourney #homeworkouts #lovemybody #lovemyself #‎fitatanyage‬ #‎fitateveryage #fitnessisnotasize #fitmindset #moveeveryday #progressnotperfection #nonscalevictories #icandohardthings (at Bronx, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtH9lnCBbaa/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nep7up7g73ca

After a gentle head butt from my cat, I got up to make sure I got my 20 minute workout done. Today was Cut, as in gaining definition. Now I don't know how much definition I got, but I beat my scores from last week. And I got to work out with my team AND the creator of the program in my virtual gym. Yes, he really did come into my living room! It's a win/win all around. Getting fit and having fun. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #fitoversixty #makingthetime #timeforme #myjourney #homeworkouts #itstartswithme #lovemybody #lovemyself #‎fitatanyage‬ #‎fitateveryage #fitnessisnotasize #fitmindset #moveeveryday #mindbodyconnection #progressnotperfection #nonscalevictories #icandohardthings #trusttheprocess (at Bronx, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtFZqF7BqHq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=algspmehnel8

O.M.G. That was hard!!!! I don’t know how I got through it, but I did. And the time flew by, thank goodness, because I think this was the fastest one so far. Week 2, Day 2 or Day 9. Either way, another day is in the books. What was your hard today? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #fitoversixty #makingthetime #timeforme #myjourney #homeworkouts (at Bronx, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs9rvYEBFkp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ki1yxianhwbg

And so begins W2D1. Still 20 minutes. Still hard AF. But I beat (mostly) my numbers from last week. So yeah, I all the way committed. To health, my fitness, myself. What are you committed to? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #fitoversixty #makingthetime #timeforme #myjourney #homeworkouts (at Bronx, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs7GfFVB27I/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=d81a1lznt69y
