Overall Goal: Ready to take on the storm. Six months to go. Getting more sleep. Paying off the credit card debt. Gaining muscle, losing fat, and greatly increasing cardiovascular fitness.
Fit Status:
Suddenly 25 and independent from caffeine! :D Thanks for the birthday wishes!
I was a skinny fat and needed to change in order to improve my self-esteem. I had no knowledge of what it truly meant to be "healthy." Since then I havent stopped studying health & fitness, and it's bringing me right where I want to be!
Why I Love It:
I just love it. There isnt a better feeling than that of how I feel when I continuously treat my body right.
I live my life to the fullest without compromising my integrity and through facing challenges in pursuit of happiness and holistic health. I strive to be a role model by valuing my family and friendships, holding myself accountable for actions, and consistently and persistently seeking out knowledge and personal growth. With enthusiasm, I discover the greatest sense of accomplishment when assisting others to reach their goals and expand their view of their personal potential. I exude health and confidence in my every day and exercise faith as the backbone of the manner I live.

I see him work through challenges, and consistently, to reach his goals. His heart is huge, and I am grateful to know him. Scott, it's always a pleasure to see that smile of yours! Never lose that! There are few people I enjoy taking a stroll around the track with during work. :) I thank God for you!
With my current program I may do two short cardio sessions on days i dont lift. Still, as I see it, I get plenty of exercise outside and out with the friends that I am not worried by this low amount.

What is your favorite cardiovascular exercise? Why?
I love running. It can be hard on the joints, so I will switch days with some cycling or other intense aerobic workout. I would really like to do more swimming, but running has always been a mind escape as well as great exercise.I love running.

I'm writing this while being angry. It's a warning to those who don't want to read anyone's complaints. I urge those to push the back button or close the window.
My sister had invited me to a dinner this last night. I was working on homework, but she urged me to come to meet her...

-Full of Supersets
-Great new challenge
-Different exercises every workout
-Built of intense weeks and recovery weeks
-Lower levels of cardio, but I work a lot and am constantly moving regardless
Six months is going to whiz by. Sleep, reduced debt, more muscle, less fat, and overall health improvement... sounds awesome! If anyone can do it, you can.
Glad to hear you are caffeine-free! I've chosen to dabble with the dark bean a little since my illness, but returning NRG is now making me self-sufficient!

Just read your last blog post Sara. You doing any better? It's not easy living a life of faith, is it? Esp when our family or friends don't share it. I hope you have some rock solid friendships with other believers. And that you're doing better. Now, get your butt back in gear & into the gym! :D
