Let's start out with a short little bio. I'm 33 (soon to be 34), married to a wonderful guy (for 3 1/2 years), have 2 cats (Kitty Van Halen and Roderick), and 2 dogs (Double Doodles, Roland and Cassidy). I work full time. I enjoy reading, playing with the dogs, history, and taking naps.
You will notice that I didn't include working out in the list of things I enjoy. That's because I honestly don't enjoy working out. I do enjoy cookies, ice cream, steak, and pasta. Based on that list of food that I enjoy, I have to learn to enjoy working out.
So, that's where this blog comes in.
I'm embarking on a journey to become a healthier version of myself. I've been half-heartedly doing the 21 Day Fix for a while, but I never really followed it closely. Basically, I'd eat well for a few days then go get a Rolo Blizzard because "I earned it". Whatever. I'm not about depriving myself. BUT, I'm getting a little to close for comfort to depriving myself of my wardrobe because of the food that "I earned". Like I said, I've been kinda-sorta doing the 21 Day Fix, I'd throw some Piyo in there too, and for good measure I'd go to a yoga studio for a class. But none of these things were getting me to my goal of having my clothes fit me the way I would like.
I have had a "Come to Jesus" moment. OK, it wasn't really a single moment, just a lot of things that have gotten me into this healthy mindset. First thing: cancer runs in my family. Earlier this year I had to get an MRI due to a nodule in one of my breasts. I'm not saying that if you don't eat healthy that you're destined to get cancer, but I'm hoping that it might help a little. Second thing: I was getting winded climbing two flights of stairs with laundry. Now I'm not talking a huge basket of towels. I'm talking about a small basket full of socks. Third thing: clothes. I have a lot of clothes. I shouldn't need to have work clothes in 3 different sizes. That's crazy pants! Last thing: I just don't feel good.
So I've become a Beachbody Coach. I know that the 21 Day Fix works. Even half-heartedly following it, I saw and felt a difference. Shakeology is awesome in more ways than I can count.
I hope that you'll come along with me on this journey. I hope that you'll be inspired by my successes and failures (cause it'll happen). I hope that you'll join me in starting to become a healthier version of you.
