Day 1: Trying To Balance It All

Okay, I'm back on this health kick. Well, slowly getting back into this. Today's focus for me is balance. I need to make time to get my workout time in with work and trying to get my side business going. All this work with both jobs is already tiring, but trying to get my business going is ruining my sleep and gym time. And consequently, it's ruining my diet.

I need to carve out time to do it all. I'm trying to gear up for my November push for my business. And I'm trying not to gain any more weight. And I'm also trying to get back into healthy eating habits.

To start to get back to healthy me, I've joined a 90 day challenge group. Hopefully this keeps me accountable. Or at least will kick my butt and get back to it again. I liked me better than and I felt better than. I found a routine, or more like several, to kinda mix it up. I'm going back to my Combat for a mix of cardio. I can only do the stairs for so long lol. Plus, I loved that Combat made me feel like I could take on a slew of fighters and walk away. I know I'm not that awesome, but I like to pretend I am :P Today is the official day 1. And with day 1, assuming I can find a tape measure, will be my measurements and all that good stuff. I'm not looking forward to that, but who ever is?! I'm looking to shed maybe like five pounds but I really want to shed inches, inches off my thighs, arms and stomach, If I could, I would shrink my calves, but I inadvertently work those out on accident since I'm short and tip-toe for a lot of things lol.

And while trying to get back into being my gym rat self, I figured I can do my research, my networking and trying to get sales. I'm reading when I can and watching YouTube videos for hints and and tips and tricks to social media sales. And on top of that stuff, I'm doing my Younique product and company research. All while playing with makeup! I know I need to get more comfortable in front of the camera talking. I watch my videos playback and I can't believe I sound like that; I sound ridiculous lol. You might see some of those on here since I figured I need more help and need some feedback.

Back Again

Hello again! It's been a while since I've been on here. Mainly because of life's ups and downs. I've been feeling really low about myself and decided I needed to change. Hopefully it takes, or more like hopefully I'm ready to sustain change. What's changed for me? I'm at a professional part in my life where I've been feeling stagnant and want more or change or both. And personally, I got to the point where I got too comfortable and just stopped focusing on my health goals/gains cause my partner was okay with me the way I was/am. Which, I know, is super awesome and fortunate but I didn't like the run down and weighed down feeling I had when literally and figuratively. So, for the last few months, I've been doing a dietbet, which I'm not great at. I feel like I always get close to my goal but never get there, which would've made me feel down in the past. But now, I just take it and move onto the next month and hope I make it then. Alo...

BEASTing Out

Well, I finally did it. I took the plunge into Body Beast. I like to lift so I thought this would be fun. And I'm sure it is fun if I didn't feel like puking during the workout. It's been a while since I've had this happen. I thought I gave myself enough time in between dinner and my workout. Maybe not? Or was I just working out that hard? I didn't feel like I did. It was a Build: Chest/Tri's day so I used light weights for like all my sets since I tweaked my left shoulder and didn't want to train one side heavy than the other cause I'd like some symmetry. Either way, I'm gonna keep on. Tomorrow is Legs and I do love a leg day, even if I hate it the next two days after. I'm still doing the Les Mills classes and videos. I did Body Pump this week. I should've taken that class as a sign to go easy on my shoulder now that I think about. I'll probably do some Combat or Sh'bam again for some cardio to go along with my Body Beast program. ...

Derailed In December And Still Off The Rails

So in December, I had every intention of being better, but it hasn't been going exactly as planned. It's actually been kinda bad. I've been a bit derailed. Maybe it was the holidays. Maybe it’s because I’ve been a little bit down and depressed. Maybe it was the weather of the season. Maybe it was and is all the working I've been doing. Actually, now that I think about it, it's all of the above on top and being in school this semester that’s in my way. My workouts have been sporadic. Work has me drained more than usual. And being anemic and having poor nutrition as of late hasn't helped either. I don’t sleep as much because I work too much. One job has me up at 3 a.m. And the other job, when I work, has me up till like 11 p.m. If I schedule my workouts before work, then I’ll be up at like 2 a.m. I need to find a balance and change. So to kind of start to change off things, I took on a trainer. It was going alright I suppose until like last month. I starte...
