Keep Moving

I took 5,000 steps and earned the Boat Shoe badge! #Fitbit

This is new for me and I hope tracking my steps will help me. I'm 1,000 away from the daily recommended of 10,000 a day. I'm moving around so I can hit it! 

Renew

I created the #kikiworksphotochallenge in order to get back on track. I invisioned people posting pics that would help motivate and inspire. I stated it was a movement of solidarity to get me back on track. I viewed it as my way of digging me out of an old pattern I saw brewing.

People joined...some held on and by day 13 there was only me. ME. The source of my journey. The source of my growth. The old me would be upset because they left me hanging. The new me understands everyone is doing there best in life. The new me also finds it perfect.

Why? It was the 13th day of the #kikiworksphotochallenge my lucky number; a guide of sorts that it all happens a certain way for a reason. To shed light on the obvious. It is up to me and only me to make the change. To take ownership of my journey. Which alighned with the plans and convos I had yesterday.

Yesterday Eden from befreeology.com came over for an in home meal consultation. She did a pantry check, I passed, and we talked frig talk. We got to the nitty gritty and I openly discussed my bad and good eating habits. We set up a grocery list and I stocked my new frig with nothing but good foods.

The 14 day workout plan I created 2 weeks ago, was of course, a bit much for me. I gave my workout weeks the best I could. I fell short of my weekly goals. So I also created a more realistic goal for the next two weeks with Eden yesterday.
-->3 days on the stationary bike for at least 5 miles and 2 sets of resistance bands circuits.
--> 4 sessions of yoga (@ least 20 min each)
-->1 callenetics session (i added this today)

I will stick to the 14 day model for now.

I'm heading out to a party today. Pushing myself out the door because it is important I stay connected. My attitude about food is different and I will be practicing concious eating again.

I thank you for reading my journey. I wish you much joy in all you do. Have a wonderful Sunday beautiful.

True Tuesday

Vertigo had me on the fence. I never know what to expect or how the day will go. I sat on the couch for a couple weeks each day trying to do a little more. Then there were days I would get upset because I could not follow the scheduled routine.

Last Friday I came up with this flexible 14 day schedule to get back on track in the face of it all.

To my surprise it was similar to the type of schedule Rowdy Ronda Rousey described in her book when she was trying to get back on track. I am no RRR but it gave me this AH-HA feeling. I knew then it was going to work. 

Day 1 was Sunday. I said there would be no ifs, and, or, whats about it. Yesterday was tough and I opted for a stable ride on an indoor bike. The flexible workout schedule is just what I need to keep me going. CHECK BOX HERE!

 Now get up and do something. Peace!

Sunday funday!

Happy fathers day to all the pops. Ill post more some other time.

Here is a HIIT workout to follow for now.

Training Schedule Tuesday

Here it is ... The June Workout Schedule.

I am concerned about a few things like my knee and the new classes I will be attending. I figure I will not know until I try so I'm going for it. I am also going to finally go get an MRI. There are a few large motivators so I figure the time is right.

1. I'm getting blood work done in a couple months.
2. The hubby and I are going to the Caribbean for our anniversary in August.
3. I'm doing a half-marathon in October - 18 weeks!
4. I'm doing the tough mudder in November - 21 weeks!
5. I love me!

So come on and circle some days to see what you will be doing to up your game! Check out the Exercises tab for some easy starting pointers and variations in activity. Go play!

Sunday Snooze Day

Today was lady #2 which means I was down and out. It was a different pace from most of my week but an opportunity to recharge. It also allows me to reflect about all of the great things that are happening.

1. I saw an old friend during the week who motivated to stay focused.
2. I met new contacts who provided new insights in my industry.
3. I spoke to an old colleague who provided a new prospective about my long-terms goals.
4. I completed #theworkout series and while I did not meet any of my original goals I reached a new level of acceptance for myself.
5. I joined a new gym.
6. I bumped into an old colleague who thanked me for sharing myself through my blog.

Workouts

I completed 60% of the planned workouts. Which means I completed AM & PM workouts through Wednesday. By Thursday I was beat and made it to one hour workout daily through Saturday.

I have yet to create this weeks structure but plan to incorporate at least two gym visits by the end of the week. I will not post a commitment today since I am waiting on a friend to plan our workouts.

Meals

Meals were good through Thursday ... then it flopped. Sugar cravings got real and I caved in by Friday. I will continue to post more through the week.

Here's to keeping it going.
