So I've been thinking about this for a while now, and the one thing that makes me forget all other things, makes me happier than anything-even for just a moment-is working out. Sometimes it's running, sometimes it's boxing, sometimes it's soccer, but for just a few moments nothing else exists besides moving my body, and doing the best that I can possibly do. Afterwards, I feel powerful and strong...at least until I remember all of the other things that are on my plate and still need to be done.
So this is my blog. I'll hold myself accountable, and I'll try to tell where I'm succeeding and where I'm struggling, and where I want to improve.
Right now:
+ + succeeding at generally eating better, and more frequent work outs that are burning more calories
- -struggling at eating better in the evenings, dealing with pain in my back from too fluffy pillows, and generally feeling lousy because my boyfriend and I broke up, and I moved out.
+ + Looking to improve by meeting the original goal and losing 18 more pounds to get to 160. Running farther, longer, and faster. And I secretly (but not anymore) want a flat muscled out stomach.
