Current Goals

I'm making a list on here of some goals I want to follow through with, that I just set for myself. I'm needing to be more focused, and setting these goals/ guidelines will really help me.

• Drink at least two of my bottles of water a day!
•  I have a huge bottle that I carry around, and I'm going to make myself start drinking more.

• No more sweets! 
• I cut out sweets at the end of last semester, but I have been really lax when it comes to them lately, only small things, but the small things still count. So sweets are out!
  

   

• If, its bread it has to be whole wheat! 
• I don't necessarily eat bread in excess, but I have been guilty of not paying as much attention to that lately.   
  

• Only drink water, black coffee and green tea. 
• I love all 3 of these, so there really is no need for fancy coffee, even if it is non fat.  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

It's always a good idea to reanalyze how you are doing things, and make changes where you know you could benefit! Having a healthy lifestyle is a conscious choice you have to make, and continue to stay on top of. It is completely able to be achieved though! Never give up, and always keep striving to live the best you can. 

Moving Forward

The month of March literally flew by. I counted it up, and I was only in class for 15 days because of all my business trips, spring break, and Easter. I have absolutely no problem with this though. Spring break brought about a new experience for me, that turned out to be really amazing. 

I was trying to figure out how to stick to my meal plan while I was traveling for the break, and I finally decided that for one week I would not really focus on food. I decided to eat like most people do, not counting calories, or following clean eating guidelines. I needed to do this for myself to almost come back to reality in a sense that I could probably eat normal and maybe indulge a little, and the 42 lbs would not come back in one week. So, that is exactly what I did. I told myself the Monday that I got back, I would not weigh myself like usual, but that I would wait a week so that I would not be discouraged if I had gained anything. I wanted to keep up with the positive outlook that I still looked fine after a week. Without thinking on Monday morning, I hopped on the scale, and realized I had actually lost weight! That was really great for my self-image and a motivation for this journey overall. 

Because of how busy I have been, and just simply lack of wanting to get out there, I hadn't consistently run in a while in the month of March. I got two runs in last week and I thought I had a better pace until my run tracker comes through my music and tells me my time. Not what I was hoping. Oh the joys of taking too much time off. However, today and the rest of next week, I want to really get back into improving my time and distance again. I'm more excited than discouraged, because I love working towards a goal. 






Lately, I have needed some motivation and been wanting to change up some workouts. Tip: if you get bored with your workouts you will absolutely not want to do them at all. 

As the semester is coming to a close, and assignments and life piles up, I want to stay motivated and driven. I'm still not where I want to be, and I want to strive to continue on this journey. Everyone needs a little motivation now and then. I find mine through God, friends, fitness things on Pinterest, weight loss pictures, and fitness accounts on Instagram and Twitter. 

I hope everyone has a great week!
