I’m happy to say that I finished the 14-Day HIIT and Strength Challenge on Apple Fitness. This is the second challenge I have tried and finished, so far.

I took a one day break after the first seven days of the challenge but if I didn’t, I don’t think I would have finished. I thought that would make it difficult for me to start again for the last seven days of the challenge, already knowing that it was not easy and tiring but it was the opposite. That one day rest where I did a Yoga video was all I needed and after that the challenge felt easier.

The last seven videos were still the same intensity as the first seven but the second week was more fun and didn’t feel like such a struggle. My arm didn’t hurt anymore either; maybe that’s why it didn’t feel like a struggle. It did bother me sometimes while I was exercising but not as much and never after I was done. Maybe this is also why I don’t feel as tired as I thought I would be.

Even though I normally workout, these challenges have helped me see that I can still achieve any goal I set, no matter if it’s for two weeks, a month or maybe longer. I still don’t know what challenge I want to do next, but there are a lot of options and I want to take it easy before I start a new one.

I’m an aspiring writer still looking for exactly what I want to write about, with a lot of creativity, imagination and desire to write. I studied Writing and Rhetoric at Syracuse University where I explored many different sides of writing through my classes and extracurricular activities in order to narrow my search for an identity as a writer. I have written for Citrus TV Noticias and La Voz magazine, both of which gave me the chance to explore different mediums in which to write in. Through Citrus TV Noticias I also gained experience in translating from English to Spanish and vice versa, which is also something that I would be interested in working on since I am fluent in both of these languages. I was also an intern at Syracuse University Press where I got hands on experience in what goes into actually editing and publishing a book. Through out the last four years I have faced a lot of challenges, which helped chape the person I am today. After being in a tragic car accident, being in comma, having a Traumatic Brain Injury, and being in therapy for over a year, I am a new me, willing to face challenges and knowing how to deal with them. I want to write about my accident and life after it to help others, show them it can be done and help in any way I can.
