So I am doing this because i want and need encouragement and motivation. Plus if i write it down i'm accountable.
So i am aware that i am not overweight or grossly unhealthy, but is that a reason not to work out or eat better? I don't think so. I know that i can do better and feel better but i need help starting. So here is the plan. I will come up with some goals each month. Ones that are practical and then i will attempt to regularly post my steps toward accomplishment.
The goals:
1. work up to working out 3 times a week. (this does not include commuting)
2. lower my commute time by 5 minutes
3. switch at least 50% of snacks and meals to healthy(clean) snacks and meals.
4. meditate and read scripture at least twice a week.
Side note on goal 1: I am a bike commuter, my husband and i only have 1 car and it belongs to him. I chose to sell my car before coming to cali and bought a bike. I usually ride 5 times a week to work and back (7 miles in total) and sometimes to school and back (3 miles total). don't let me fool you with the miles. to school is almost all down hill on the way back and i barley do any work. On the way to work in the last 6 months i have somehow slowed my time. i didn't know this was possible with consistency but i actually added 5 minutes to my commute through pure laziness.
Side note on goal 2: lets get that commute back to 20 minutes instead of 25.
Side note on goal 3: I surprisingly eat pretty healthy so far. I like healthy food. but i also like unhealthy food. its not adding clean foods that's hard its giving up all the yummy cupcakes and cookies.
side note on goal 4: This is actually going to be the hardest for me. I suck at this. i never feel like i am accomplishing anything and generally give up before i even finish. or get angry and annoyed then give up before i finish.
I think this is a good start.
