I should be further along in my my health/fitness goals than I am. I keep seeing the scale yo-yo between five pounds lost/gained. In truth, I'm not as concerned about the scale as I am my over all health and fitness.
I can blame a host of things - like weather, depression, schedule, age - but it all boils down to determination, willpower and the desire to stay healthy and live a healthy lifestyle.
So, now that I made the declaration yesterday (on my Instagram account), what am I going to do to achieve my goals?)
Well, it all starts with a plan, right? Here's mine.
Food
- Portion Control
- More vegetables/limited fruits
- Less processed (white sugar, white flour) foods
- More protein, fish, nuts, legumes
Exercise
- Trainer 2x per week
- Weekend workouts (Sat, Sun)
- After May 19th (when yoga ends), add in 1 or 2 fitness classes at the gym
- Cycling. - lots and lots of cycling
Mind/Soul
- Believe everything happens for a reason and is life is as it should be in the moment
- Work is a job, it isn't my life.
- Enjoy life, stress less.
- Smile, laugh, dance, sing
- Live the best me that I can be every day.
- Be true to me
Pretty tall list, huh? Achievable 100% every day? Absolutely not. I'm not perfect, and never will be. I'm smart enough to know that my plan is always just that...a plan. Some days I will succeed, somedays I will not,
The key is to Never, Never, Ever Quit.

Years ago, when I was laid off work and unemployed for 7 months before finally finding a new job, to keep my spirits up (and try to stay optimistic), I would often gaze at a cartoon picture. A large angry ugly bird was trying to swallow a frog. With only his legs sticking out of the bird's long beak, the frog had a very tight grip on the bird's long throat. The cartoon's caption: "Don't ever give up!"
