Boudoir

I'm on a new mission.  This mission is to find my body again.   When I left Nathan, I had gained so much weight.  Mainly due to the birth control, of which we could tell due to when I stopped my birth control I dropped 20 pounds right off the top.  That encouraged me to continue to work hard.

I've always done some sort of exercise.  I've never been good at it and have always strived to enjoy it. In the end, the realization that I keep doing it does mean I enjoy it.  I love the results, how I feel, and the community of people it draws in.  In the last two years, I've found it very difficult to work out, managing to get little workouts here and there.  In the past maybe, six or so months, I've put on some noticeable weight.  I've spent the last two weeks working toward a workout goal and plan.

Gym three days a week, rock climbing two - three days per week, and cardio at least two days a week.  I haven't been faithful to cardio (but when have it?).  I am also trying to get my eating under control.  I notice now that it takes more for me to feel fuller.  I need to retrain my stomach to realize when its full.  So I have some massive amounts of work to do.

I have noticed some small improvements in my body over the last week.  I'm thankful that my body has some awesome memory.  It doesn't take me long to regain my strength and shape; however, its the persistence that I am needing at the moment. 

I've decided the best way to get myself motivated is another photo shoot.  Super excited about this one.  The last one I wasn't heavily prepared.  So for this one, I will be.  I'm scheduling it for September .....one year anniversary and two months of hard work. 

I need to stop craving sugar!! Desperately!  Kara is making some yummy paleo treats.  Which is good for me, because like her, they stop my sugar cravings. 

Goals:
  • Thinner Legs
  • Flatter belly
  • Bubbly butt
  • 1:58/ 500 m Row
  • 1000 meters in four minutes
  • Squat 50kg ten times
  • Run 5k once a week
  • Drink more water

So that's 8 runs, 8 weeks of workouts, less chocolate, pee more, and one cheat meal per week.

I've got this.
