SO, I guess I am working out to keep up with my noshing:)

I did a 21 day fix workout today because as you guys know I am trying the whole beachbody coach thing out. Tonight I have to do the “Dirty Thirty” workout since I missed Monday. After my earlier workout, I literally had an entire small Tribe garlic hummus and pretzel crisps. Tonight, I had some very healthy chilly I made, but topped it with these organic corn crisps. I will call it the Blizzard Blues as to why I am eating so much comfort food.

So, even though fitness is my goal this year and I have done well so far until yesterday and today, I am eating too much in this storm!! Monday, I will be strictly on my whole 21 Day Fix kick with the eating by counting containers of different food groups. I lost 9 lbs on it from October 18th until November 7th. I lost another 7 or 8 lbs the next go round but then I got sick and have just started to get better after 6 weeks of doc visits and meds.

Thankfully there are no more chips or crackers here because that is my downfall. Organic or not, they just aren’t the most nutrient-dense foods in the world. And, had it not been the threat that we may lose power for days, I would have never had food like that here. So, my workout tonight will actually be to make up for the excess calories that I have had today! Ughhhh. But at least I am working out right?

I am starting back on 21 Day on Monday as I said, but I am starting a new challenge group on February 15th for those of you interested in going through it with me, let me know! I am starting the next group that late because I have to do my 21 days first to get myself back on track before I can lead a group.:)

Back in the day, I would have gone on a downward spiral and eaten more crap or not worked out because I would feel like I had screwed up. NO more! I am human, we all are, and one part of becoming a better person is to forgive oneself. I have beat myself up internally for so many years if I messed up or if things did not go as planned. But nowadays I am not making excuses, but realizing that I will not always make the right choice and patting myself on the back for not giving up.

I encourage you to keep going and trying and pushing no matter what your goal is. If you are trying to get fit, make more money, write a book, be a better partner,etc. Just keep on keepin’ on! Persistence is they key to achieving your goals and dreams. Good luck on whatever you need to work on, and I am going to get off of the pc so that I can work these calories off!

Blessings and Good Night!

So, I didn’t stick to my word…

Okay, I know that I say that writing for the sake of writing is fab. But I for a while have not been able to write as much to read. Or to write as much as think. Or to write as much as pray. Or to write as much as to worry.

I have been going through some “personal revelations” as of late. I have decided to step out on faith and to become a beach body coach. What that means is that I will be a consultant for people who want to get healthier, or lose weight or tone up or train for something.

I may not be the poster child of #21dayfix but after losing 8 pounds in almost 3 weeks and realizing that I can work out with fit people and make it happen! I have lost inches, and though I have around 45 pounds to go, I think that I could help people like me.

I also have decided to really make more time for things and people who are important. Church, friends that are tried and true, workouts (as I mentioned before) just to name a few things. I had a birthday recently and then tends to be a time for me of deep thought and self-examination.

Also, something about fall makes me think of new beginnings. I know that is weird because most people think of spring and renewal. And I do too because of sprouting flowers and Easter (resurrection). But as a kid, the excitement and fear and happiness and worry upon the beginning of the school year is a time I will never forget. That is why I equate September with newness.

I am back to writing again. I have done a lot of reading. I have decided what I am going to do as another job (Beachbody). I have started singing in the choir again. My kid’s activities are in full swing. Something about the summer that makes me want to meditate and chill and not commit and how the fall helps me to get motivated.

So, we all find ourselves the week of Halloween and Christmas is less than 2 months away and then the contemplation of the New Year will lie ahead. But this time if you all bear with me I will write about it instead of withdraw for a couple of months. Several times I would start a draft on WP and just stop short.

But I am back out in the world again and ready to share and ready to read all of the fabulous things that you have to say as well. Happy hump day and happy fall y’all:)
