New Years!

Oops! The holiday craziness got the better of me and I slacked off on my posts. :) Now the festivities are winding down and my commitment to my health is ramping up! I took my workouts a little easy this last week, and ate WAY too many sweets. Now i'm back on the bandwagon and hit my workout hard this morning. I'm sitting down today to set my goals for 2013. I'll post my speicifc fitness goals here as soon as I've nailed them down! Think about yours. What do you want to accomplish? How do you want to FEEL at the end of 2013? Pick achievable goals, but also goals that will CHALLENGE you! If you need help, let me know! I'd love to help you! Here are some good ones for you:

Here's to a better you in 2013!

Food as Fuel

Eating right can be hard! I've made so many changes to my diet, all for the better, but i'm still tweaking. I haven't gotten the results that I've hoped for from my 90 days of ChaLEAN, and after a long talk with my coach we've decided I need to cut back my calories a little more. It's hard to adjust to a new calorie range. I'm kind of a grump today. :) But I'm really working on changing my mind set from eating food for fun to eating food to fuel my body. My body needs good quality food to work as hard as I expect it to. Good quality food can also taste good! It just takes some experimenting. I'm working on it!! So I will be successful at fueling my body. Will I slip up? Yes. But I'm going to keep working until  I know what my body needs and wants.
