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. : )
I LOVE this! I started yesterday with eating healthy again/working out hard core! I will be checking in to draw motivation and inspiration! :) And coffee for a snack option is not weird....it's one of mine as well.
