So, recently, I was introduced to the wonderful world of Pinterest. If you haven't heard of it, get on it, it's mad addicting. Don't, however, let it distract you from your work outs. One thing I have been finding is that there are a lot of different work outs posted on there. I have created a Work Out board and I am re-pinning all the cool, fast and easy ones so on days where time is limited, as I have mentioned before, running 5 companies full time and bookkeeping for two others on a part time basis allows for limited time in evenings. There are several on there that can be completed in less than an hour and many others that help you schedule your work outs for a whole week. As I mentioned before, there are plenty of resources available if you are willing to work. I have 5 different calendars, schedules and programs for different aspects of my life, one solely for work outs and scratching everything off of it is invigorating, but yes, the same thing over and over again gets boring. So do what will keep you motivated, even downloading motivating pictures (ie bathing suits you want to buy) and posting them on your fridge or on your work out clothing drawer can help motivate.
Last night, I did a great work out. I have officially completed week one of C25K and moving on to week two tomorrow. It's much harder to get motivated when it is minus 30 degrees celcius, but it is possible. One idea I have for my next challenge is to go Gluten-Free for the month of February. I have been researching the "Wheat Belly" study and looking up plenty of recipes and products... In Barrie, HomeSense sells a lot of specialty items that are very reasonably priced. I had already had Gluten-Free suggested to me by my dermatologist, but it was quite difficult when so many yummy, tasty foods are full of Gluten... But nothing taste better than being slimmer feels, so I am using that as my motivation. I will continue to blog along with recipes and such as I go. My fabulous guy is going to go along with me and I think the support will be amazing.
Finally, I have an update. I will be going to Hollywood on March 1st... so the diet and work out is REALLY on now. My sister and I are going to stay an extra day to explore, she has already made dinner reservations, what a crazy kid she is.... but she is far more brave than I am, I can be scared of my own shadow at times. One thing I am going to try out is a whole new hair style when I'm down there... I am thinking short, a-line with bangs... in a fun colour, only time will tell, but I am using this trip to be more brave and confident in myself. So if you have any ideas for me, please, let me know. Tanning is starting this weekend so I am not totally pasty before I leave!
Finally, one thing I am failing on is not drinking enough water. I have been getting sore very quickly during my work outs, my joints have been creaking and cracking and I just feel tired. As soon as I get my hydration up, I feel a lot better. As my dear friend Laura always tells me, DRINK YOUR WATER, you need it!
Much love all.
xoxo
