Stats 03/05/10

Finally!! And I am happy with them! Here we go:

I did the first stats on the 22nd of January. So it's been a few weeks!

Arms: 11.0--------->10.5
Thighs: 20.0------->20.0
Hips: 35.0--------->34.0
Waist: 27.0-------->26.5
Butt: 36.75-------->36.0

Turbo!

My new Turbo Gear!

And sorry...haven't done my stats yet! Life keeps getting in the way. :) I will try this weekend!!!

What's been going on?

I finally took the plunge and became a beachbody coach! I've been wanting to do it for MONTHS now! And I just bought my first set of Shakeology which I have wanted to try for sooo long as well. The direction my life is headed is really exciting for me. Besides the Gospel and my family, fitness is my life. Every day I am trying to think of better ways to eat, how to get most out of my workouts and how to stay healthy and active for my entire life.

I am not doing it to earn money...at least not at first. Soon John and I are going to work together to inform his patients about what Beachbody has to offer, if they are interested. I really want to share with everyone I know how exciting being fit can be. I am not all the way to my goals yet, but I am getting closer every day.

I am still training for my half marathon in June! I also just trained to get certified to teach Turbo Kick! I also called the Santaquin rec. center and they were thrilled to have a turbo kick class come to their gym. I told them I wouldn't be able to work until April, but they said they'd have a class at 6:00AM on Tuesdays and Thursdays for me! Um....can you say AWESOME??? And Elite Fitness here in Payson said they were interested too! So we'll see how it all plays out. Either way, I am happy!

So those are the latest updates in my life! Tomorrow I will do a weigh-in and measurement check on myself. Thanks for all your support everyone! And if any of you are interested in starting up this new adventure with me, you know where to find me!

Stats 01/22/10

November:
January:

I don't see a huge difference, only my arms look a little thinner. BUT...on my stats my arms were the only things that stayed the same. Hmmm...I know they are getting more toned, so that makes me happy. Like I've said before, my arms have always been the thing I've been the most self concious of...and I am going to change that, for good! So excited.

Stats:
Arms: 11.0--------->11.0
Thighs: 21.0------->20.0
Hips: 36.0--------->35.0
Waist: 27.5-------->27.0
Butt: 37.25-------->36.75

I'm happy with those stats!

Hello world...

Announcement: This blog is now...not private! So go ahead and put me on google reader so you can know when I've posted something new! Thanks!

Training

My workout schedule is as follows until March 22nd, when I start my official 1/2 marathon training.

Monday: 3 mile run
Tuesday: Turbo Jam (Punch, Kick and Jam)
Wednesday: 3 mile run
Thursday: Turbo Jam (Punch, Kick and Jam) + Yoga
Friday: 4 mile run
Saturday: Turbo Jam (Turbo Sculpt)
Sunday: Day off

My goal is to run 10-11 miles per week, and do cross training every other day. And as I get stronger, I will increase my mileage too! And I truly can't wait until it gets warmer so I can run outside!! Treadmills are not my favorite! But it's better than nothing! :)

I can do hard things!

Ok, so I have been slacking in the blogging department! Here's what I've been up to! I signed up for the Provo 1/2 Marathon in June and I am sooo excited. Part of me is really intimidated of course, I am not a great runner. BUT...I don't want that to be an excuse. I've always (in the back of my mind) wanted to run any kind of marathon, but kept doubting myself...saying I couldn't possibly do that. I have turned a new leaf now! I am tired of doubting my abilities. I was never an athlete, why can't I be one now? The only thing stopping me would be myself!!! And I have found a new confidence lately that has come with a big change of heart.

I am capable, strong and motivated! I am not immune to pain...I am having issues with my right knee at the moment, but it isn't going to stop me from trying to accomplish my goal. I am not even looking to finish this race in a certain time, I just don't want to be last. haha! But more importantly, I am learning things about myself I never knew. The more I live a healthier lifestyle, the happier I am. I am a better mother and wife as well. When I feel good about myself, I am happy!!! And I have this confidence that shouts out, "NOTHING CAN STOP ME!!!!!!!!!"

So here I am, training for something hard...but I can do hard things! I can do hard things! I can do hard things! I can do hard things! I CAN DO HARD THINGS!!!!!!!!!

Keep checking in, I will try to post at least twice a week now.
