Why Is It So HARD?!


My non- New Year’s Resolution was to get in shape and overall just feel healthier. I have been blessed to have a body on the petite side of the scale, but that is no excuse to not exercise or eat healthy. I do not want to get in shape to impress others – it is for me. Now let me be clear, shedding pounds is NOT the goal here. The goal is to feel comfortable in my own skin and know when bathing suit season comes around, I feel proud with the progress I have made (especially since bathing suit season lasts forever in Arizona). Again because of the body type I have been blessed with, I know from the past if I stick to a routine I will see results fairly soon.

I always give myself a little lee-way around the holidays with all the seasonal treats, but once those holidays pass I like to remind myself that I do not need to intake many sweats or caffeine. I was determined to walk daily and do my little 30 minute workouts at home. I am not a girl who enjoys going to the gym. I feel awkward going by myself and feel like I am competing with others there. I have had a taste of Zumba and loves it, but it is all about conveinence for this girl. My apartment gym is small and convenient that I do not mind attending every now and then, but would prefer to do a quick Insanity workout in the comfort of my own apartment. Anyway, my Insanity workouts are in Flagstaff and I do not return until next week so that option was out. Then I have been fighting off a cold for the past week, so going on a walk or running with Booter is the last on my priority list.

I hope that once I kick this cold in the butt and start feeling better, I can slowly get back into the swing of things and reach my personal goal. Wish me luck everyone!
