I shared on my Instagram feed yesterday about my thoughts on 2018. I am so happy there are so many ladies that had such a terrific year! I am definitely thankful myself for a bunch of things, this little blog is one of them. This blog has been a way to escape and focus on what I was meant to do, and thankfully at my own pace. Through so many disappointments this year, over friendships not reciprocating, to the MAJOR head spinning loss of my Dad, I would say 2018 isn’t AT ALL getting rave reviews from me.
I am not taking this time to relive all the pain, but I am going to use this time to write down a few things for myself and share my commitments with you all friends. Because if there’s one thing I have learned this year is that, I’m not alone in feeling this way. And when I polled you all on Instagram Stories, you said you were feeling the same way! So by sharing my ideas, maybe it can help others at the same time!
In recommitting to myself, I am taking a look at a few things that I would still like to take control of (diet) and incorporate some new things that I think will “up the ante”. I can’t just expect to do the same things and get different results can I?
So Here’s the Plan:
- Drinking enough water: I really have slacked and lived that Diet Coke life lately… gosh I will miss it. 🙂 Drinking enough water is super important not just for everyday function, but flushing out toxins and the fat I burned needs to get out somehow! But… 100oz. of water is what I am shooting for.
2. Workouts: You know I don’t have a problem getting those in, because I love it so much. Sometimes I get lazy though and don’t get up in the morning early enough, so nonetheless- I am committing to 6 workouts a week.
3. Cryotherapy Treatments at US Cryotherapy: This is SUPER “Sciencey” So I’m linking the website if you want to learn more, but essentially Whole Body Cryotherapy is great for muscle recovery, increases blood and lymphatic flow, helps with joint pain and a whole array of benefits! I went once before Christmas, in the full chamber, the hydro massage (amazing) and the infared light– I loved it and can’t wait to see how my body increases in output, recovers and helps me sleep when I start to go regularly.
4. Faster Way to Fat Loss: Here’s the kick in the pants I’ve been waiting for. J/k I signed up the day before the round started on Dec. 31. No but really, I am fine with workouts, and I have learned quite a bit about calories in/ calories out and macro tracking yada yada… Putting this all together in a setting where I can be held accountable ALSO helped?! Yes, please. Again, this is just as “Sciencey” in explanation, but essentially this program is going to help address so many issues I have with getting my butt in gear with NUTRITION and putting all of the puzzle together for me. This will be a total of 7 weeks journey for me, but I am from what I have learned about the program already is that there will be lifelong learning to be had that I can take with me or continue to join the rounds.
Ok, not trying to overwhelm myself here, so I think 4 items on the list should be good. Since I had quite the wild ride 4Q emotionally, I’m taking it slow. These four things don’t seem to scary to commit to, but it’s just enough to get my butt in gear. I am happy to share my journey with these things on Instagram stories, especially since this seems to be on the list for many of us, its fun to have that be apart of the community. Rest assured, this won’t take away from the fashion and styling content I LOVE– just add to it!
Thank you so much, as always for stopping by and taking the time to read my little part of the world. I welcome you to help keep me accountable, and if there is anything I can do for you, please be sure to give me a shout!
