Hellooo fit fam! I have been struggling to write on here as often as I'd like but promise to post more often! I have been going full force in my fitness routine, maybe a little to forceful.  Which is why I recently sustained an achilles tendon injury, and can no longer run for 4-6 weeks. This is a MAJOR speed bump for me as my favorite workouts are anything high intensity with a lot of high impact (running, jumping, leaping, etc.) I usually do HIIT (High intensity interval training) almost everyday, but with my injury I won't be able to for a while. Big bummer... but I will not let it get me down or deter me from working out. I've been researching other workouts to do instead, and so I will be incorporating spinning, rowing, and swimming into my fitness regimen! At first I was very upset, but after looking at the problem in a different positive view I am actually really excited to expand my fitness horizons!! Moral of this long story..... DON'T EVER GIVE UP. Don't let obstacles get in the way of what you want to accomplish, not only in your fitness life but in every aspect of life. There is always a different way to view things, and something good can and will come out of every "negative" experience. Stay true to your dreams, and believe that you are capable of overcoming any obstacle that gets thrown your way.... It'll make you more bad ass in the long run ;)
