Well I think I finally found it! Something I can enjoy doing and call my hobby, new lifestyle, stress reliever, whatever it may be.. it's something I really love. Growing up everyone I knew had something they really enjoyed. It could be anywhere from basketball, gymnastics, and volleyball to art, music, or a collection of some sort. Well I didn't really have that "thing" that I was into. I enjoyed a few different things like being a part of a dance team for a couple years and I was a cheerleader in Jr. High. I really do love playing volleyball and can somewhat play the sport haha AND actually know the rules too bahaha. Anyways, this post isn't for a pity party at all. It's just about something I have found a passion in and really love and can call my..well..."thing!" hahaha that sounds funny, but you know what I mean. :)
Oh you want to know what it is??
Fitness!
Yup.
Fitness.
I know..suuuuper exciting right!? (note the sarcasm haha) But that's what it is to me, exciting! I used to not really love going to the gym. I think because I looked at it as something I HAD to do instead of WANTED to do. I viewed it as something taking up my ohsoprecioustime.
Ever since I met Kevin I have had an interest in the gym. I think it first started my interest mostly because he is super fit and a very healthy eater and I was.......the "give me my popcorn/chocolate/fried chicken/COLA/ ..oh brooowniiiiesssss!" kinda person. And I still am at heart haha. I first thought maybe if I wanted him to stick around I better start working out. Then it turned out he wasn't one of "those" guys and actually loved me for me and didn't need this teeny tiny trophy girlfriend.
His healthy lifestyle has rubbed off on me! HELP!!!
Just kidding..but really it's weird of me. Anyways, I started off this year with the resolution to not drink anymore soda, especially coke-a-cola. I'm a former addict of that stuff and boy was it hard to quit. Sometimes I think of relapsing. Sshhhhh don't tell Kevin.
On a good note though, I haven't relapsed and I am officially just under 4 months clean!! Go me! haha
Anyways, it has been hard this last month getting into the gym because of wedding things that took place. But now that Lyndy and Dan are officially hitched I have some time to really dedicate myself before the next event in June for Mo and Muffin :) (Can't wait! It's going to be awesome!)
Well I just realized how side tracked I got there...back to fitness!
I'm addicted to Bodybuilding.com. They have great articles and advice forums on there that help you to learn which foods and excercises are good for you. I probably read about 6 a day lately and I am currently onto Phase two of Livefit 12 week program. It's great!
My hardest thing is the clean diet. Man oh man is it hard! I've learned the best way to make sure I eat healthy through the week is to make Sundays my "meals day" and cook up my meals for the week. It helps A LOT!
Anywho so there's my post for the day haha. It might be boring for you but I'm pretty excited about my goals I'm setting for myself. I am noticing a difference in my thighs and my arms a little bit. Getting more definition! I really want a toned back too :) I am trying to get into pretty good shape for my wedding in August and then after that possibly train for a bikini figure competition. But we will see, that's all future stuff and it's kind of expensive! One day and one workout at a time :) We'll see what happens from there!
