So it has been a while since I have been on here ... 7 months and 29 days to be exact. Over the past seven months, I have been busy getting closer to my degree, getting promoted, starting up a new love for boxing, and meeting tons of new people along the way. Last time I was on, I mentioned having my New Year's Resolutions. I have still been trying to keep up with them and even have them in print so I am held more accountable.
Most of the things on this list I have been able to uphold. I have been trying my hardest with the things that are life changing and key to living a well balanced and happy life -- things like doing what I love, live my life, laugh often, don't judge, eat from the earth, being open minded, and all over having a better outlook on life. Along with these things, I have been putting a lot of effort into going local, especially when it comes to my food. I love knowing where my food is coming from and what I am putting into my body, but even more importantly what I am NOT putting into my body (pesticides, transfats, processed products, hormones, and all the unnecessaries). Food is such a necessity when it comes to leading a healthy lifestyle. It is your fuel and helps to set you up for living a good life, so you may as well make it the best quality you can.
Although food accounts for 80-85% of the whole package, the rest of it is made up with fitness and activity level. As you know I am already an active person, always on the go, running around, doing yoga, and riding my bike, but over the past few months I have been really focusing on my strength. To do this I picked up boxing, started doing more weights and strength training, and doing more fast paced and full body cardio work outs. Doing this has all worked out for me thus far, but I have been wanting something a little new. Some of my friends have done or are currently doing P90X and absolutely love it. I hate having to go out and buy a whole new workout routine, but I have heard that this one is definitely worth it. Lucky for me, my sister and her husband did P90X a while back and she so graciously let me borrow theirs. So starting tomorrow, I will be starting in my P90X journey!
During this journey I will be writing on here, filling in with how the workouts are, how I am feeling, what I am eating, and my "transformation" along the way. But knowing that I am starting tomorrow, I must be off. I need to make sure and get a good night sleep so I can be well rested for the day ahead of me tomorrow :) Goodnight all!
