Day one: off to a good start!!!!

Good morning all! So, I determined that the reason all previous attempts at losing weight may have failed is because I was doing the same things with my daily routine and not budgeting my time to account for these necessary changes. For instance, on days when I'm not opening at work, I just wake up whenever, let the dogs out, and sit down and watch tv until I do have to go to work. Ive just accepted and possibly embraced my laziness actually. I mean, come on, who doesn't love not having to do anything at all? But in reality, while sitting and doing nothing was cool, I still continued to complain about my weight. Am I the only one who sees the irony in that scenario? Clearly, that wasn't working so lets change it up! I'm not saying cut out tv and stay on your feet for every bleeping second, but start your day differently! Today, when I woke up and let the dogs out, I did one minor thing different and it kick started my entire morning. Instead of turning on the tv during breakfast, I cranked up some tunes on my phone! I listened to music while I ate and did the dishes. Instead of waiting for a show to finish to put up my dish, I got right up when I was done. After dishes, I still resisted the precious remote and kept the music running. I went ahead and pulled up a workout on Pinterest and got to work. The workout took me about 30 minutes, and I was exhausted lol. Here's what the workout for this morning was:

FULL BODY MELTDOWN:

40 jumping jacks

15 squats

20 lunges

40 mountain climbers

5 burpees

50 bicycles

:20 superman

5 push ups

40 high knees

20 vertical leg crunches

:30 plank

40 mountain climbers

OMG RIGHT?? Yeah I was dying after lol. I definitely had to go at my own pace and take a water break in between a few, but hey we're not starting out as Olympians here so that's ok! After that, i set myself a designated time/ show length of tv/chill time. Which I'm actually using now to post this:-) so now, when this is over, the tv is off and I'll be getting ready for the day. Do you ever realize how you feel so much more accomplished on days when you just get a shower and get dressed versus staying in PJ's all day? Yeah, I notice a huge difference. Even if you have no errands just get ready! You're far less tempted to be lazy when you're dressed and ready to go. So yes, after I get ready, I'll head out and pay my water bill, hit the tanning bed, and idk, go walk around Walmart until time for work! Far more productive than munching on raisenets and watching reruns of America's next top model!

So, yes I think we're off to a good start! Need some help managing all the details? There's an app for that! If you have a Samsung galaxy phone s3 or higher, you should have S Health. It allows you to log your food intake, exercise, and weight in a super handy app:-) don't have a galaxy? The alternate that I actually like a little better due to the more extensive database is myfitnesspal. It's available on both android and iPhone app stores. Super easy to use and let's you keep track of how many calories you have left for the day without feeling like your obsessing over every calorie. Plus, as I mentioned, the database is HUGE. So any food item you need to log, chances are someone has logged it before and bam, there it is! Feel free to email me with any questions! 

LOSE WEIGHT. GET FIT. LOVE LIFE
