Restarting RevAbs

Well, I had decided to start RevAbs last month while still doing Body Gospel if I had extra time because it is definitely a faith inspired motivation that keeps me going! I knew RevAbs would be a little more intense, but I was looking to specifically target my abs due to the infamous c-section "poof." I do have to modify at times, but overall I am REALLY enjoying it!! I find Brett Hoebel to be VERY motivating! One of the biggest motivations for me has been my husband being able to work out some with me again! He is still having some neuropathy from the chemotherapy, but he is so determined! He is really such a wonderful inspiration for so many people - definitely for me!! It was great taking our "Before" pics together, and I can't wait to see our "After" pics! :)

So why am I restarting? Well, the good news is it's NOT because of my Fibromyalgia! Unfortunately, I've been sick. First a sinus infection followed by a nasty stomach virus followed by more sinus issues plus a cold. Tis the season I suppose! haha My little man is not a very good sleeper, so it's proof that sleep deprivation wreaks havoc on your immune system! If you have the choice to get adequate sleep - do it! Don't take it for granted! Besides the Fibro flare-ups brought on by the sickness, my pain has been under control! It's such a wonderful thing! :) I even made it through a couple of the workouts while I was sick, and that alone shows how far I've come! Unfortunately, though, I missed a lot as well, and I truly want to commit to it for 90 Days because I have already seen my results, and I'm confident after 90 days I'll have great results! I am already below my pre-pregnancy weight!! Woo hoo!!

So, I'm re-starting my RevAbs journey on Thursday! I think it's going to be a great one! Hopefully I'll have plenty of workouts without my baby "barbell," but doesn't he look so sweet sleeping on me while I work out? :)
