Changes in the New Year:
1. Take control of my health and fitness - recommitted to Weight Watchers and Dan has challenged me to run the Shamrock Shuffle 8k in March.
2. Save, save, save! Our last big item on our pre-baby bucket list is to go to Italy.
3. Cooking at home - this one supports both previously stated changes. Eating out less = more money in our pockets and less calories that end up on my hips.
I'm not sure what this means for finding my own crazy, but I'm hoping that putting myself first leads me to it! Will I finally fall in love with running? I'm open to it! All signed up for the Shamrock Shuffle and officially starting training tomorrow.
Also, I'm enjoying cooking from home. With time to plan meals and my new cookbook, I'm happily eating better! Here was dinner last night:
Yum! Filet Mignon and Mushroom Stroganoff. After two weeks of getting back on track, I'm feeling much more calm and confident to make things happen. I turned 30 last August and find I'm listening more to that biological clock ticking. It's time to finally commit to a healthy lifestyle and hopefully see a change in my body. I want to feel and look better and adopt a healthier lifestyle well before we have kids. I hope to manage a healthy pregnancy and be able to drop the weight post baby without having the added challenge of losing the extra weight I'm currently carrying.
Week 1-2 lessons:
* We take our quads for granted! I blew out my quads in a lower body strength training workout and walked slow and like I had a stick up you know where for a good three days. I think going forward I will spread the love and do general whole body strength workouts until I build back up some strength. Ouch! Be thankful for the muscles that get us from point A to point B everyday!
* Cooking at home can be just as delicious as eating out. Hellllloooo Pork Carnitas and fresh guacamole!
* Saying no can be a good thing, even if it makes you less popular.
Until next time!
