I wonder how many people have a similar title or theme to their blogs this time of year. This is not a New Years Resolution to me though. This is a start to a new me. I did not get back into a workout routine after my last post. In fact I basically quit all workouts and healthy eating. So in addition to some wonderful Christmas gifts given to me by other, I also gave myself 10 pounds back :\
But I'm back...again. Last week I started Power 90 over again. And this time I made sure I had time for it everyday by getting up at 5:30 AM to get my workout in before the rest of life happens for the day. I even got up at 6:30 on Saturday and got my exercise in before my last Christmas celebration with my dad, brother and our families. 5:30 is hard, I'm not going to lie. I usually have issues getting out of bed just to make it to work in time. BUT, knowing the rest of the day that I am done with my workout and I can go to bed as soon as my kids do has been enough to keep getting my butt out of bed everyday.
After a week of Power90, I'm already feeling stronger during my workouts. Especially the strength videos. I'm improving so much on my push ups and my chair dips.
This week I want to focus more on my diet. I am recording everything I put into my mouth on MyFitnessPal. This in turn makes me think a little more before I put things into my mouth. I even passed up one of my fav dinners tonight - Kraft Mac & Cheese - for a healthy potato soup.
My first reward to myself will be a new haircut. I have been growing my hair out for a while, but I'm ready to go back to short hair. But no haircut until I've lost 10 pounds...or at least 5...not sure I can hold out for 10....
