Woot! It’s the
weekend!
What a week it’s been – a little crazy. I’m finally nearing 100% in my quest for
being healthy again! I still am coughing
up stuff, but hey, the meds are working and that’s all I wanted. I’m feelin’ good and excited for a
CELEBRATORY Kristin & Mark wedding weekend followed by celebrating my
wonderful daddy-O on Father’s Day!
I’m almost completely back to my normal workout schedule,
which feels awesome! I get a little
stressed out when I’m not able to do my normal day-to-day routine. I started off easy this week – did a couple
full body, high-rep strength sessions. I
was trying to rest as much as possible so I could show up with a BANG on
Wednesday for my TurboKick class (oh yeah, I did!). I’ve worked in some other sessions this week –
more strength and cardio, TurboFire, and boot camp. Sweatin’ hardcore again feels GREAT!!
How’s my Shakeology working for me, you ask? Wonderful!!
I’m on day 25! And I received my
new batch of Chocolate today (which is fantastic because I ran out yesterday!)…
so I’m excited for the month ahead!! And to try some new chocolate recipes…the most
saliva-producing part of my day!!
I swear my body has been working so EFFICIENTLY since I
started drinking Shakeology. Every day I
am energized. Even while I was sick, I
was still up and doing everything I needed to do. I am convinced that having all of that extra
nutrition supplied to my body has given it the ability to FUNCTION at
100%. Every day. That is quite impressive. I have felt stronger because of it. Being energized and ready to take on the day
makes you feel that way. And, as another
plus, I am absolutely more regular in my bowel movements! :) No “results” for you (body fat, weight) until
next week. So be patient until then…
Another piece of excitement this week was the 30 seconds
(ish) that I spent on Fox59 Morning News Thursday morning! Besides the trembling legs that crept up on
me while the cameras were rolling, I feel like I kept my cool :) The experience was something different,
nerve-wracking, and exciting. I’ve never modeled in my life, so it was a
very new experience for me (my mom will argue and tell you I was a baby model –
which I don’t think counts and – that’s not gonna help me model a bikini on live
TV!). I was happy to say “yes” to an
opportunity that presented itself to me.
I didn’t think about what I was saying yes to – it just seemed like
something I shouldn’t turn down (it wasn’t until after the segment that I
realized I had just been on LIVE TV IN A LITTLE BIKINI. MAGGIE, WHAT’S WRONG
WITH YOU? haha).

But honestly, I’m happy
I said ‘yes.’ Why? Because I have been trying HARD to find
myself this year – to identify my strengths, weaknesses, and put a strong focus
on my highest priorities and areas I want to achieve further success in. This was totally outside of my comfort zone and
not something I would have ever sought out to do. But what did it do for me? It gave me an even stronger backbone. Even more confidence in my ability to look
fears in the face and say, “hey, I got this!
No problem!”
The thought I want to leave in your head is this… the next
opportunity that presents itself to you (and quite possibly scares you), say
YES. What’s the worst that could
happen? Failure, mistakes, regret? Absolutely not. A failure is only a failure if you don’t
understand how to do it better the next time.
A mistake isn’t a mistake if you learn from it and move forward. And regrets should never be part of your
thought process – everything that happens in life happens for a reason. Regret is silly – and if one small piece of
your life (the piece you might think you regret) is missing… think about how
that would impact every other part of your life.
You have a lot to be thankful for. A lot left to accomplish and be proud
of.
WORK IT and show the world who
ROCKS.
Your F-A-N,
Maggie
