Rebounding from Phoenix

One word clearly sums up my entire state of mind & operation right now: Exhaustion.

The week in Phoenix was Amazing! I love my job & was able to experience so much during this trip. I was blessed beyond measure as I was able to help in multiple ways throughout the week. My week included: watching the students perform, answering frequently asked questions, attending amazing evening services, and occasionally watching an absolutely adorable, baby boy.

So needless to say in the amazing 80 plus hours of work, including travel, I sadly was not able to get in my workouts. I went with the best intentions of working out, I packed for it & was excited to use the gym, but it was closed. However, since I did not have any transportation, except to & from the airport, I spent a lot of time walking, & also helped in the setup & tear down of the event. So I don't think I had a "bad week" per se, I just had a different type of workout regime.

I also ate pretty healthy most of the week, I ate healthy snacks, & made healthy choices. Probably the hardest obstacle was dealing with the time change, along with the late nights & early mornings. The blessing of that was that I did watch a lot of beautiful sunrises.

Now that I've returned, the challenge diet & exercise will resume. I actually received the weekly email before departing Phoenix & was pleasantly surprised to find that I will have 7 workouts this week instead of 6. So the rebound will take place quickly! Looking forward to getting back into the routine & making a strong finish in the program!

I never could have imagined all that God has blessed me with in the last 18 months. He has definitely given me more than I could ever ask or hope for in this capacity.

Hope you all have a wonderful week!

Many Blessings,
Jenn
