At the beginning of this month, I was serious about starting my health journey over again. I bought a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables and started cooking more chicken to help me stay on track. The worst part about trying to get healthy again after battling the ups and downs life throws at us is trying to be serious and get back in the rhythm. I was working out 3, 4, sometimes 5 days a week up until recently when something happened to my back. I don't know if my form was bad when doing planks or mountain climbers or if I didn't warm up enough, but my back has killed me for the last several days. Working out and eating healthy isn't a problem for me since I love sweating and feeling bad ass after a workout. I could live off of fruits, vegetables, and salads, It's what I eat in between my workouts and healthy meals that is keeping me from reaching my goals. I have a horrible habit of buying Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts coffee even if I brew coffee before work at my h...
Since this is my third time trying to lose weight, I want to be successful and not give up like the last two times. My boyfriend and I have went hiking for 5 Saturdays in a row and I think that is what is motivating me to continue workouts throughout the week. I just purchased a yearly parking pass for the park we hike at so maybe we can also start hiking more than just one day a week. I think I'm off to a good start. Last night my mom and I went for a speed walk around the neighborhood for about 15 minutes. I was also dancing and jogging and then continued to dance one we got home. I haven't had any soda in about week, not even a sip. And I'm trying to choose water as much as possible as my drink of choice. Junk food hasn't really been present, all though it is that time of the month so I'm eating bits of chocolate here and there. YouTube and Tumblr have been my main motivation sources. I like seeing the progress people make just by ma...
Finally the weekend has arrived. I have birthday money left over so first thing I'm doing tomorrow is getting a pedicure. I haven't had one in FOR EVER. My feet are scary looking. Hopefully this weekend my boyfriend will also go on a job searching spree. He quit his last job due to the fact that his checks always bounced and the funds were never available. He needs to get another job so he can save for us to move in together. This week I've heard several people ask or tell me I've lost weight which has made me feel good. I haven't been exercising as much as I should but oh well. I've been watching what I eat so I guess it balances out. Since the weekend weather is supposed to be decent, I'm hoping I can ride my bike on the 3 mile bike path and maybe even get my boyfriend to come with me. I hate doing things alone.Working out is a lot more fun and easier when you're with a partner or multiple people. On weekends...
