(Post 1 of 1 in a series of ???)
Today I want to start a new series. I am going to call it Slim Down Sundays. This series will focus on my wellness and fitness, so here goes nothing. But before I do I want to make it clear that do may intend to turn this blog into a fitness and running blog, I just want it be a place I can share my thoughts, feelings, frustrations, and hopefully successes.
I was never a skinny person, as a kid I always was the chubby one. I was always a kid who enjoyed being outdoors and playing sports; I played tennis and basketball in high school. However, I have always been more of book warm than one to explore the latest workout trends. As an adult my weight battle can best be described as a rollercoaster ride. I have been as heavy as 250 pounds and as light 150. After moving up to the Cincinnati area a little over a year ago my weight got out of control. We started eating out more. There was also my bout with depression I went through; in addition, to adjusting to a new schedule, habits, and environment. Food became my comfort.
In the past year I have put on 50 pounds. I am still in shape. I am still running, I am still going to gym. However, I don’t have the same focus or discipline I had in the past years. However, I am working hard to get it back to point where I was several years ago in terms of eating right, working out, overall wellness. and weight.
I want to use this blog as something to hold me accountable. I also want to use as a way to track my journey, my goals, my failures and successes.
The way I want to do is give myself goals for the week and then each Sunday blog about how I did, talk about work worked, what didn’t work. I will probably talk about frustrations and challenges, as well.
So here I go …
Wellness goals for the week of July 5 to July 11th
- Drink at least 64oz of water daily.
- Walk / Run at least 50 miles
- Everyday day eat at least 4 fruits or vegetables
- Complete at least 4 – 30 minute weight / conditioning sessions
- Do at least 3 abs workouts
I will report back in a week …
