I am so sorry for not updating for so long! I really felt like I had nothing to update with but then I was outlining this post and I realized that I could have don’t 3 or posts by now! So for that, I am sorry.

If you remember, on July 1, 2020 I upped my daily meters from 5000m to 6000m a day and let me tell you, it has been harder than I thought! I honestly thought, “after 5000 what is 6000?” but I am here to tell you that you absolutely feel that extra 1000 meters and it makes quite the difference! My husband asked me last night whether I was going to go ahead and bump up my 6000m to 7000m today and I just had to laugh because my body is still getting used to that extra 1000m!!! I hurt. I ache. My whole body is stiff….but you know what? I refuse to get our of that habit! All it takes is one day to ruin weeks of work and I refuse to let that happen. I need to actually make a post about how I deal with the stiff and achy body during COVID-19 shut down quarantine, and I will! That’s coming.

So I have been rowing 6000 meters since July 1 and, y’all, I’m feeling it! But I’m also SEEING it! Yesterday I hit 10lbs lost since May 26, 2020 when I began this journey. Now, I wasn’t really big to begin with, I’ve not lost clothes sizes, but I’m flatter in the stomach, tighter, and more defined. I am getting to the point, also, where it is not just me seeing things but other people, too. And I’m not talking weight lost because, like I said, I didn’t have too many lumps to lose, but they are noticing the firmness, the flatness, and the muscle definition! THAT is my motivation not to stop. Not to lose the habit.

I went looking for pictures the other day of me before May 26, pictures that I had taken on days I felt really good about how I looked, only to realize that I had deleted them before they could be backed up to my cloud. That is how unhappy I was with my body. So then I went to look for pics of me in clothes but full body and I realized that I’m really good at posing. haha I know how to suck it in, stick out the booty, and “get my best side”. I have no pics of before May 26 and my rowing journey but you better believe I have pics now. My stomach is flat, my legs are toned, I’m getting a little bubble booty. Yeah, I think I’ll keep this up. haha

So this is my update. 6000m is going well but is still a slight struggle to get through (both as body aches and a mental block) so I am not upping it yet but I am still pushing on. I am taking it week by week as to whether I am increasing the distance so I’ll keep you posted but as of right now I don’t think I’ll up it until August 1. We’ll see!
