Well, the first (almost) couple of weeks of 2016 are in the books. We've seen our first snow (finally) and the kiddos are back in school. It's been a busy couple of weeks so it's been hard to find some time to write a quick blog about how I'm working on getting Fabulous by 40.
First, Fitness. The adult child and I continue to do the FitGirls meal plan and exercises. I never thought I'd eat so much spinach...and like it. I actually craved the sweet potato/spinach/chicken tacos I had for dinner tonight! As far as exercise, I do really well at the beginning of the week. By Thursday (today!) though, I am beat and my energy level is not great. I need to work on knocking out more exercises in the morning or during my lunch as I am less successful when trying to do so after a long day at work. I will add that I might have swiped a few Blow Pops from the candy jar (didn't want one of my co-workers to call me out on that).
Faith. I am enjoying reading a devotional that is sent to me every morning. We are studying Jesus' teachings. I am trying to be diligent about having some quiet/meditation time in the mornings.
Family & Friends. I have been awestruck lately at how quickly children grow up. I used to roll my eyes at that notion. The more they age, the more I realize that every generation behind us was right - enjoy the moment now because it goes so fast.
Fearless. I've got a little over 2 weeks before my first progress pics and I am nervous. The original pics are not pretty. However, if I am going to stay true to this blog being an inspiration to others and a motivation to myself, I've got to do it - back fat and all.
My goal for next week is to not hit a wall by Thursday. I also have some traveling coming up in a couple of weeks, so that will be a challenge in itself. That's what usually derails my fitness efforts (yes, among other things).
I hope you all have a good rest of your week. ;)
