Anytime you start something new, something that will lead you down a better path, change your life for the better, expect something to try derail you. Do not wait for it, but don't be surprised by it.
I started gearing up for my personal pursuit of change yesterday. I ate healthy and all natural all day until last night then I had some homemade taffy. ( because i wasn't starting until today, remember? ; ) But I did clean my house and go through my closet. I got rid of 3 large baskets of clothes and shoes that I don't want or need anymore. It looks so clean and organized. I am determined to go through my entire house. I love, LOVE getting rid of stuff. I like to travel light. That means, stuff I have not used or clothes I haven't worn in a month or two, gone. If I haven't needed it, I won't miss it.
I woke up today, ready. My goal for the day today was to eat healthy and clean, and start my workouts again. I did both today. Yay!
My Diet:
Breakfast:
1/3 cup plain oatmeal with crumbled walnuts and skim milk and 4 eggs (2 whole, 2 white)
snack:
organic gala apple and raw almonds
Lunch:
4 oz baked chicken, broc, 1/3 cup brown rice mixed with black beans
snack:
cup of coffee and tea ( weird, I know.)
Dinner:
Mom's homemade turkey soup and 1/2 glass of red wine
Workout:
Deadlift
Power clean press
Front squats
3 sets of 10 (no rest)
ring push-ups
Strap rows
mat laps
3x 15 (no rest)
I also ran my neighborhood when I came home from class tonight. ( yes it was raining and cold) What kept me going was that incredibly inspiring YouTube video I watched today. I have big goals. Big goals mean rainy, cold runs at 830pm.
Overall I did great today. The derailing part.. My car died today when I was working at re:MOVE this morning, it would not start with a jump. So, its still sitting there. Thankfully I was able to borrow my mom's truck tonight. I will figure out what to do with it tomorrow. Also I am moving again. This is always stressful, so I felt like 2 major major things were up in the air today. Yucky feeling. I beat it though. I chose Joy anyway and I guarantee it will pay off.
I totally conquered this day!
Day 2 tomorrow:
-Continue my healthy, natural diet
-leg workout
-Go through kid's closets
I like this. Little changes. Stay tuned. : )
