Hello, how have you been? I've had a busy weekend and Monday.
Sunday I went to Stoneman Park in Pittsburg to weigh in for the free 24 fit challenge I have been wanting to try. I will get my results in an email sometime this week. I'm pretty excited since I've become such a fat ass. The only problem is I have hurt my right shoulder. I have spoken to mr Doctor about it already and may need physical therapy. So, my plan is to discuss options with my new fitness coach. Hopefully we can find ways to help my shoulder.
I am still participating in the walking group. We walk at LMC for now and we are looking for other walking options. Some of you may have noticed I took the Friday 13 blog down. After our group meeting this weekend I realized there was more to this group than I thought. This isn't just about fitness or becoming healthier. It's about empowering each other to become better people and to encourage each other in our difficult times. I also learned I was not the only one discouraged by how things were going so far. So we made group and personal goals. Something to look forward to and keep us challenged. No one likes boring workouts.
With my attempt to become healthier, I have made some goals to help me not only better myself physically, but mentally as well. I have been anti-social, not focusing on my educational goals and I haven't really checked off enough Bucket List items either. This year of self feels as if all I did was whine about how miserable I am. THAT SHIT NEEDS TO STOP! I need to get my ass moving.
I would like to share some of my goals with you today.
Fitness Goals:
- Complete Fitness Boot Camp (3 classes a week for 5 weeks)
- work up to jogging on a regular basis
- Jog Bay to Breakers 2014
- Reduce Caffeine/soda until I wipe it out of my eating habits. (Pretty much finish off what I have in my home)
- Learn cleaner eating habits. Reduce refined sugar and remove processed food as much as possible. (as I type this I am having a quarter of a Pepperidge Farm cookie)
Walking Group Goals: 60 day fitness goal
- As a group walk 1 mile under 15 minutes.
- No refined sugars after 7 pm for first 30 days/ after 6 pm second 30 days.
- Reduce inches and not worry about what the scale says (though we will weigh in)
I'll find out more about how to achieve my goals and maybe add more once the boot camp starts. As for the walking group, we need a name, and looking for people to join.
