Exercise Routine and Nutrition

Long story short, I have pretty much worked out all year. Stress and poor nutrition contributed to some weight gain.  I took a month break from working out to focus more on improving my eating habits and putting myself back in line for better health.

Current Exercise Routine-

Daily Walks/Stationary Bike 30-60 mins

During my walks/rides I focus more on deep breathing and clearing my mind. I listen to upbeat music to keep an energetic pace but currently I am not pushing myself to run. I also use this time to either think about any goals I want to accomplish. If I am outdoors, I enjoy the sights and fresh air.

Body Beast (weight lifting program)  This is actually one of my favorite Beachbody programs. I like the pace of the program and the personality of the trainer.

I usually do this portion of my workout in the evening with my husband. 3-5 nights a week. We do not follow the programs actual schedule. We are in our 3rd week. We are spending another week in the Build phase and then next week move to Bulk phase.  I am gonna start being better at documenting my workouts and progress to share. 

Current Nutrition Plan-

My goal for the next 30 days is to improve the number of fruits and veggies that I eat daily.  My goal is at least 2 fruits and 4 servings of veggies.  So my mornings are fruit and I have to have a side salad as a snack or with lunch. Then with dinner at least 2 servings of veggies.  My carb limit is 2 times a day. Lean protein 5 times a day- eggs, yogurt, shakeology, chicken breast etc. 

WATER

I need more of it. So I am following this schedule to get a decent amount of water in a day. Water before all meals. 

This plan  has so far been easiest to follow, without a whole lot of extra thinking. Looking forward to results.

I'm Still Here....UPDATE

I am. I'm STILL Here. It's been a good 8ish months since I took a lil break from all forms of social media.  2016 has been a challenging year for me. I'm not complaining, because it has also been a very productive year as well. However, due to stress I kinda forgot about me. My husband and I have our hands in a few projects and businesses.  Running around taking care of everything and everybody and forgot about lil ol' me. As a family, we've had a lot of fun this year including road trips, visits to Caribbean, a couple weekend getaways, bike riding, zoos, museums, festivals, the beach etc. But, I noticed that I needed to accomplish some personal goals of mine and I've actually taken this month ( I know its only the 12th) to get back to my own goals for myself.

Just yesterday, I sat and thought about what I want for me and my peace of mind. Ive been a licensed cosmetologist for 13 years now.  So hair, makeup, skin care etc have always been my first love. Yesterday, I took a lil time to pamper myself. Facial, steam treatment, foot bath, mani/pedi, brows, color, shampoo and styled my locs. Yes, I do it all myself and it took the whole day but I enjoyed giving me the time and how relaxed I was. That's for sure going back on my calendar, at least once a month.

All year, I have worked out religiously 4-5 times a week. But my weight fluctuated and even went up because of stress, work schedule changes and because our eating habits slowly changed. I took the last 4 weeks off of exercising (other than a few walks, here and there). We mapped out a plan to get back to cooking more, did some rearranging of furniture to make family exercising more doable and set some realistic goals for everyone.

I have a few new changes to my routine that I will be chatting about later and will keep you posted but overall I feel so much happier and things are looking good.

Stay tuned.... :)
