Work in process

I am a work in process and have been my whole life. I love the fact that a world of imperfect people live on the earth trying to find a way to improve themselves individually to improve the world as a whole. Don't get me wrong, every day is a struggle to figure out which way to choose to improve. I haven't really figured this one out yet, but that is okay.  That is why I continue to try to do my best every day. 

One thing I really want to work on, is my physical make up. I need to lessen my non-functional weight that I have on my body. I need to cut carbs and fat macros in order to change that. It is a choice that I will have to act upon daily, and every each meal. Remembering to be patient with myself and kind that not all my choices will reflect my desired outcome, I need to make sure that doesn't throw me completely off to not even start at all. 

Being all talk with no action, well is a problem. I need to focus on the small wins for the day. What is my priority for the day. Today I had to set up a doctor's appointment that needed to take almost all day to do. Now I need to focus on getting hydrated enough and make sure I eat the protein I need. I need to do something fun with the girls and then just rest so I can recover. See, the small wins for the day will help drive the process :) 

Okay I am back on board and doing the no excuse thing now. I want to work out and eat right every day, no excuse. I don't have one, that is all I have to focus on for myself all day long, so I need to do this for me. So tomorrow's plan is to start off right, and go for a run, then do a crossfit routine of some measure and finish unpacking everything.

Wish me luck.

Good beginning of the day

This morning, I walked/ran for 3.5 miles this morning, I hope to have a zumba workout before the end of the day and maybe go for another walk this evening :)

Here we go again

Attention guys, here I am again, I almost forgot I had a blog for my fitness. So I am going again. I am starting to walk, Zumba and other activities since I had my little Zoe. I need to get out there and do things every day.


I need to encourage myself because my ultimate goal is to be comfortable with my body in every way. So it is a big goal for myself, I know I can do it but I need to stay motivated and make NO EXCUSES, and NEVER COMPRIMSE a good choice. 


Choice or Choose in the dictionary states: to select from a number of possibilities; pick by preference.
to prefer or decide (to do something) to want; desire. to contend with (an opponent) to decide, as by odd or even, who will do something


So I prefer to decide on the best choice of food, drink, and exercise that is best for me. I need to remind myself every day.  


Wish me luck!

3 miles today

I ran/walked 3+ miles today. :)

Ran 3.5 miles

Today I ran 3.5 miles. I think this is the first time that I really got the most out of the workout along with the sweat that comes with it. I have a goal this week to run every day even if it is only a mile or two. I want to be consistent so that my legs don't start to hurt like they did last week when I didn't run for a day or two.

4 miles today

I am very proud of myself today. I was able to get in 4 miles today. It took about an hour to get it all in. I wish I didn't have to stop as many times as I did today, but I did finish and it was four miles. So that is really great. I also walked a mile with Lily tonight before she went to bed. So today I got a total of 5 miles in today. I hope to be able to do that every day. That would be ideal because that would mean that I would burn between 300-700 calories a day (lowest being walking). I really hope I can get everything in. I want to do it 7 days a week too. I have noticed that I slack off on the weekends and the nights. So I am going to try to finish that this night month.
