Today was difficult and just annoying! Bear with me as I bit– and moan. My conference call bored me to tears and my child could not focus on getting her school work done because people were knocking on the door … Continue reading →

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!

I haven’t been writing in my journal religiously, or reading my Bible as much as I wanted or getting a lot of work done. But, my cough is getting better and I worked out 2 days this week! So yay!!! This whole “trying to better myself in 10 different ways at the same time” thing is really a lot of work!

Are you guys meeting your goals or visions for yourself right now? I am the kind of person that has great ideas and great intentions, but I tend to do really well on a few things, but not on more than a few things at a time. If I am writing regularly and working out, then my other goals fall by the way side.

I admire people like one of my friends on Instagram called theglamuniversity. She just did this awesome woman’s empowerment and business event that is a sleepover and all of the tricks of the trade are taught by powerful successful women like her. She is writing a book, she is expanding her empire. She is getting in shape. She is becoming a mogul! I am so happy for her! But how do people do it?

I am not trying in any way to compare myself to others but all I can say is that I am a decent multi-tasker, but not when it comes to major life changes. I guess I will just take it one day at a time and do the best I can to master or keep up with a few things in my life that mean the most. Then perhaps I can spend a little time on everything else. How do you guys get motivated or stay motivated? Tips, please!!
