It's been a month and so much has happened!

So it's been a month since updating my fitness blog and trust me - the fitness hasn't stopped, it's only gotten more intense.  In May I had about 60 work outs consisting of training with Tray (of course), Pure Barre daily - 1 month unlimited new client special, Bikram multiple times a week and the sauna (because I'm obsessed).  I had three days off total in the entire month (Mother's Day...i.e. wine consumption Sunday, a day where I had a convention up in Los Angeles - which was a LONG day on my feet and Memorial Day because my friend Kyla was in town and we went to Catalina).  Other than that - Jen was for SURE Trayning!

One of the more interesting things I experienced in May was my first injury.  It wasn't your typical run of the mill 'I rolled my ankle', rather an emotional injury that just makes you want to throw in the towel and completely give up on everything.  I remember that night I ate a carton of Haagen Daaz ice cream (coconut macaroon omg so good) and had three left over cookies for dinner.  At the end of this 'stuff my face with sweets' venture I decided it was not worth the pain to my body and that fitness has actually been my saving grace through my emotions and life situations.  I realized it's so easy to give up but that this would actually be the worst thing to do.  My fitness and health has been my go-to (over food and sweets).  I have been working toward something better for quite a bit of time and no matter a broken bone, or heart - it's important to continue with my quest toward health and happiness.  It's funny how things work out.  I am no classic 'yogi' but right around the time I was dealing with a lot of personal emotion my Bikram teacher stated in class "STRONG BODY, STRONG MIND - CAPABLE OF MOST THINGS".  Think about it - strong body, strong mind, capable of handling most things.  This was the truest statement I've heard through my weight loss journey.  It's because I'm a stronger individual and because I've taken my health and happiness in my own hands that I am able to handle most things: emotional, physical and mental.  

I vowed that nothing will change in June, July or August (and so on) and Jen will still continue to be 'Trayning' and providing (hopefully) inspiration for those that need it!  HAPPY JUNE FITNESS FRIENDS!
