Monthly Check In

So my apologizes, I've been dealing with loads of stuff over the past month. I have been working out and I can say that without stepping on a scale or whatnot, I feel so much better! I have more energy, I'm getting up in the morning easier. I can't believe the differences I am feeling after only what 24 days!

Anyway I found this on the website pinterest.com, I am not sure where the original came from, I believe it is backonpointe.tumblr.com as that's what it says on the actual picture. Anyway I have been using these workouts here as a base/warmup:








These workouts have been tremendously helpful. On top of those I have added in a few of the workouts that I use to do in swimming, creating cycles and such. As of right now my daily exercises can range anywhere between half hour to an hour long. 

On the food end I have been buying more actual food and not so much canned and frozen. There is only so much I can do with the budget that I have but I have definitely been incorporating breakfast, which is an area that I lacked in before. I am drinking milk, eating more fresh veggies and cutting back on my Arnold Palmer consumption. I stopped drinking soda-pop Aug. 20 2010, so that wasn't to difficult. Now its just the struggle of being bored with water. Hopefully I don't run into any complications this weekend and I can stay true to my weekly updates.

My next challenge, after the snow melts, is to start walking in hopes that it leads to me being able to jog. I can say right now it is so hard for me to run its not even funny. I do have incentive now as I am doing my second triathlon this summer. Here we go!
