I am really trying to make a go of the fitness thing. But a few things I am realizing is......
1) I need accountability
2) I need to see the changes in my body and well being
3) I need to talk about it
So with that being said I am going to start blogging about my struggles and victories with fitness. Let me give you some background:
Fitness
I am not totally out of shape. I ran a 1/2 marathon in November and have kept up running at least 10 miles a week. But about 3 weeks ago I came down with a gnarly sinus and chest infection and i have been out of comission. I don't have a gym membership but I will be doing P90X to get in weights and build up my strength training.
Nutrition
As for food this is where I totally fall apart. I love me some fast food. Not all the time but at least once a week. I do cook many meals at home but I wouldn't say they are always uber healthy. I can't say I'll ever denounce fast food but I am going to make a valiant effort to make healthier choices with eating.
Time
Because I work at home and am very busy taking care of the littles and my hubby I will struggle with the time to work out. I do know this I don't do well after 5. I know that sounds dumb but with struggling to find the time this last past year, when I do work out after 5pm I don't give 100%. So my goal is to work out in the morning. This means I will be getting up and working out at 5:30! That is crazy to me too, but I think this is the only time. Because P90X is a six day a week program I will have a rough time fitting in runs but I will do my best.
I am hoping to blog daily to keep myself motivated and accountable. Even if its just a short entry I need to talk about it and reflect. Now for the the nitty gritty:
My weight is 131.5
My Height is 60 in.
I don't know my BMI but I will figure it out soon.
I also don't know my measurement but I will get one of those thingies to figure it out soon.
Last but not least here are the pictures:
So there you have it. The photos do me no justice and my room needs some tiding up but these photos will just have to do. I wish I had one of those cool computer jobbers so I could circle my areas that I hate but I am sure you all can figure that out.
Are you ready? I am!
Blessings,
Mon
