Over the holidays, I fell guilty to overindulging. I kept saying: “I’ll get back on track January 1st.” All of the promises that we tell ourselves constantly.
“I’ll start tomorrow.”
And etc.
Have you ever noticed how easy it is to say that? As a matter of fact, have you ever noticed how many people say they will do something and just never do it. Talk is easy. But actions are difficult. Consistent action is even more difficult. So, when I finally made my way to a scale, I realized I had to start right then and there. I couldn’t let this indulging continue. I had to find a system of balance. I also had to be honest with myself, I’d fallen off the wagon. Real hard. I had to stop and pick myself up. Working out helps me feel better. Working out gives me energy. Eating healthy gives my skin a glow it helps me feel awake and motivates me. I can’t forget those things even on the worst days. So anyway, Over the last few weeks I’ve been focused on planning out my workouts and meals. It’s a process to build new habits but it is so necessary in order to see results. Over the weekend, I got my new Erin Condren life planner in the mail!
I like how the calendar is large enough to write on and there’s space for notes from each day. I also like how my vision board is on the back and my name is on the front. The planner was a bit of a splurge, but I’ve heard such great things about it via devoted fans on Twitter, in the blogosphere and on Instagram. so I definitely plan to make use of it. I used a Christmas gift card to purchase mine.
I talked over my fitness goals with my doctor, and together we came up with a realistic goal. My number one priority is regaining energy. I will also be posting my meals, workouts a little bit more often via social media to keep myself on track.
Here’s my Sunday Instagram selfie before a 5k run outside! The weather was so beautiful. Close to 60 degrees in Georgia that day.
