Off to a Good Start

One week down and I'm doing okay. I was successful at drinking 79 oz of water for 1 day! I don't think I quite hit the mark the other days but I feel like I drank more water than juice. I did really well with breakfast. I only ate out Tuesday. I need to think about my breakfast options. 

Working out was a fail this week. I didn't do anything at all. This week that changes! I'm going strength train 3 times this week. One of the trainers at my gym created a routine for me about two months ago. The workout is designed so I can do it at the gym or at home with a few modifications. My work schedule is a little unpredictable right now. So, I'm going to do my workouts at home this week. See how it goes. 

It looks like Sundays will be my post days. It seems to be working. I'm 1 for 1 with my wellness goal!!!! Small steps right. :)

December Goals

Each month I will make a measurements and photos post (see previous post) and a goals post.

Healthy Eating Goals

By December 31st I will be drinking at least 79 oz of water a day.
At one point I was drinking more water and unsweetened tea than anything else. Now, I'm drinking everything from Kool-aid to soda. This time I'm going to make sure I'm getting enough to stay hydrated everyday.

By December 31st I will be eating homemade breakfast everyday.
If I eat breakfast, it is from a deli across the street from my job. It is not as good as home cooked food and it cost an arm and a leg. So, I'm going to make an effort to take my breakfast to work. I'll have to come up with a few ideas.

Fitness Goals


By December 31st I will be working out at least 3 times a week. 
I was a yo-yo exerciser; You know someone who worked out really hard for weeks on end then stopped and let all the hard work go to waste. Not this time. I'm going to set a realistic workout schedule and build up to a more intense schedule. With the two healthy eating goals I've set I should see a little progress with my measurements.

Wellness Goals

By December 31st I will be making a new post at least 1 time a week.
This is by far my hardest goal for the month! I'm not very good with journaling, tracking etc. But I've started a blog, so I've got to get better or what's the point.

So I'll check back in next week, maybe sooner, to let you know how I'm doing.

HI!!!

I have spent the last week looking for people who are on a similar journey. Every time I found a blog to follow I thought ' I should start a blog'. Sharing a story with a group of friends sure I can do that (sometimes) but with complete strangers, nope not at all. I did weight watchers for a while and found I really liked going to the group meetings. I actually shared there too. So maybe I'm trying to recreate the group meeting feeling. I don't know.  (I need at least one follower to have a group so  we shall see) But in the end I've decided to document my fitness journey.  I'm pretty random so I can't promise that my blog will be dedicated solely to my fitness journey. I'm going to post my starting stats and my workouts soon.

P.S. Grammar and spelling aren't my friends. Please be nice when you correct me :)
