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!

No Excuses

This week, the first week of 2012 was interesting.  I have been sick since New Year’s Eve so it the week wasn’t too exciting. This post will be short and sweet but I did want to say that I am proud of myself.

If you recall I posted my goals for 2012 and two of them were to keep a food journal AND follow the mantra fitness every day.  Happy to report that I did just that.  Although I was sick, I did very VERY light moves but I did them.

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.

Need a Challenge?

I really didn’t want to disappoint anyone but I will not be having the Better Healthy Living challenge in November.  For now it will be a yearly challenge so it will be back bigger and better in June 2012.  BUT in the meantime, I have found other challenges that we can all participate in.  I truly feel I need to get back on track and the best way for me to do that is to do someone else’s challenge.  Out of the 4 below, I’ll be participating in two.

Vibram Five Finger Shoes Workout

Workouts this week were good but could have been better but I’m still excited about the progress I have made with running in my Vibram Five Fingers shoes.  I still have a LONG way to go but I’m enjoying the challenge.  And it’s much easier than in regular running shoes. Who would have thought?  I have only run inside on the treadmill but I’m happy with that for now.  I’ll tackle the outdoor breathing challenges another year ha ha

I’m in the process of looking for a good cross training shoe for when I start doing kick boxing and other workout videos again.  Plus I’ll be doing some HIIT (high intensity interval training). I have tried a few shoes in the past but have heard of some suggestions like Puma and Skechers.  If you have any suggestions, I’m all ears.
