So, I decided to start vlogging and blogging to keep myself accountable during the next 3 months. I began this adventure pushing myself way out of my comfort zone. I took pictures of myself ( full body pics) YIKES! Front, back and side views. Oh Dios! The minute I took a look at them I wondered why in the world were people telling me me that I look good?! Uhm no.. I don't. lol. Well maybe a little bit, jeje. But, I want to FEEL good!!! And that is why I'm here. I want to live a healthier, clean, fulfilling life on all levels. I was made to be happy and I am going to fight, squat, lift and sweat my way to it!
I started ChaLean Extreme, one of the Beach Body workout dvd programs on May 30th. I am going to be honest, it has been a tough month. I haven't followed the program religiously but I have been seeing results. . I try my best to get in 3-4 workouts a week. I love the fact that they include weight lifting and some cardio. Muscle burns fat has been embedded in my mind thanks to Chalene, lol. I also joined a walking club at work which has ended due to the hot weather, but as an incentive to keep working out, they have offered me a free six week membership to the fitness center. I intend to go at least 4 times a week for 45 min in addition to the workouts I will be engaging in at home.
As for my nutrition, it's clean eating all the way. I buy mostly organic produce, lots of fruits and vegetables, nuts, legumes, green smoothies and lots of juicing. Oh and I can't forget my green tea. I try my best not to consume any processed foods or breads.
For more accountability I will be posting a few videos and pictures a week. Some will be of my meals, others of my workouts and pretty much me venting along this life changing path I have chosen to walk on.
So that's enough for now. I look forward to your comments, tips, support and prayers.
I know I can do this. I will do this.
Peace,
G
