MichelleRisley Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) Feel better soon, Jesse! Remember, challenges and tests aren't always bad. They can show you what you're really made of and that you're strong enough to stay true to your commitment of reaching your goal, no matter what life throws at you. Take care of yourself and take it easy while you're healing. Part of getting and staying fit is knowing when it's time to rest and recover. Once you're well, you can get back on track to reaching your goal. You've done a great job this month! You should be very proud of yourself.

jbrickzin Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 Thanks Karen and Michelle.I had a few setbacks but kept plugging away.I am sure as it gets warmer and as my body heals, I will be testing myself much more. Workout today was a 2 mile walk in the slush and somewhat cold Minnesota air..though it is warmer than normal..Hitting the gym for the first time since Friday tomorrow..gotta start kicking my ass!

kareno Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I had several setbacks this month as well. It happens to the best of us, eh? You're doing so great, though! Keep at it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini Forklift Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Setbacks and how you handle them are ultimately what shape you. Success is just the repetition of small things day in, day out. Train hard, eat well, be consistent and you can reach almost any goals you set yourself. Hope your February is off to a great start, regards from New Zealand MF.

kareno Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Hey, one of my very good friends follows the 80/10/10 diet and also has one of those veggie spiralars you mentioned. Makes raw zucchini pasta with it, too, and loves it! And who among us isn't jones-ing for a Vitamix?!?! God, I want one soooo bad!! Yeah, someday...... How are the tummy issues going for you lately?

jbrickzin Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 Been a lot better,But this week my diet was crap because when i am sick I am different from most people in that I eat more when i am sick than when i am not sick. I think part of the problem may have been eating a lot of fiber too.my body wasn't used to that.Just got to keep tweaking my diet until i find the right combo for me. I got the spiraler cause one of my prizes last month i got was a raw food cook book so i really want to dive into it and try stuff instead of just looking at the beautiful pictures in the book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbrickzin Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 Thanks for the comments everyone.February will definitely be a great month! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mini Forklift Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 What's the spiraler Jesse? Haven't heard of that before, but I'm in New Zealand so some of the stuff you guys have in the States might not be over here. Damn right February will be a great month. I had a horrible day yesterday so things can only move up from here. Cheers MF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lobsteriffic Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 Thanks for reminding me that I need to dig my spiralizer out and start using it again! Everything looks so much prettier when it's spiralized. I like making "noodles" out of daikon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
