My April Healthy Living Goals

Thanks so much for all the birthday wishes yesterday. I had a great weekend!  I look forward to this next phase of my life.  Been thinking about my goals for this month and I always seem to go a bit goal crazy so I’m going to stick with 2 main goals and if I do more, great.

My April goals:

Stick to the bootcamp and personal training workouts and try to push myself harder each day. It’s tough with having to watch over kitty so I try to keep my workout and shower time to under an hour. I just have to make it work for the next couple months then hopefully I’ll have a bit more leeway with my workout timing.  Franklin kitty has a long road ahead with another surgery, more stitches, etc. Oh and I’m going to become a grandma again any day now phew.  I do what I can do!

Looking Back, Looking Forward

Looking Back

We had a lot going on this past year and are ready to put it behind us.  Quite a few family members had major health issues so 2011 wasn’t the best year for us and was pretty challenging.

My father in law had a major stroke and many didn’t believe he was going to make it OR even ever go home if he did but he fought hard and was able to go home this past week.

April Goals

It’s my birthday!


My Happy Place

Don’t just count your years, make your years count. Ernest Meyers

Before I get to my April goals, I wanted to give you the final update on the 2 goals I set for the 48 Days to a Better Me challenge.  You might recall that one of the goals was a bit silly but I wanted to learn how to put on eyeliner  and although I waited until this past Tuesday to do it, I got it done.  I went to Sephora and the gal was awesome.  I will definitely have to work on the technique for a while but I was thankful she showed me how to do it.  Time to watch some You Tube videos on eye makeup application and hopefully one day feel comfortable doing it.

The 2nd goal was to come up with my workout plan for after my personal training sessions end.  I have come across a lot of great ideas but have not put together a solid plan for strength/weight training.   If you know of any great plans please feel free to post links to them here.  I am looking for a 3 day a week plan, a mix of upper body, lower body and core work.

Here are some of the great ones I have come across so far:

48 Days To A Better Me

It’s fitting that the 48 Days To a Better Me starts today AND it’s Feb. 14th, Valentine’s Day.  I went over and over various things that I could do but decided on just two thing that will help improve my life in the next 48 days.  I shared these two goals on the 48 Days To a Better Me podcast where you can also here a bit about my story and how I have improved my life over  the last 6 years.  Learn about my #1 obstacle, why I don’t focus on the scale and the thing that has changed the most with me over the last six years.  I had a great chat with Kelly and Tishia.

Below are the two goals I will focus on for the next 48 days.

2011 Year of No Resolutions

Happy New Year, Red and Gold

So it’s been a while since I posted. Sorry to leave you hanging. Things have been crazy busy both business and personally.   I know I owe you all a recap of half marathon memories (if I can remember now LOL) plus I have lots of goodies I want to share with you this year.  Oh and our vacation to Jamaica was great, once again.  We love it there if you couldn’t tell!

As for goals for 2011, I honestly haven’t had time to sit down and plan anything out.  I know that I want the normal goals to lose weight, watch my portions, etc. BUT mostly I want to have fun, help others and live in the moment. I’m thankful for so many things!
