Health Challenge

New year, new resolutions, right?

Well here is my health challenge that I am doing with someone whom I am not sure would want to be named on my blog yet so we will just keep him a secret for a little bit longer. It's like hewhomustnotbenamed! haha love harry potter!

Week 1: Workout at least 3 times this week.

Week 2: Eat veggies or fruits with every meal.

Week 3: No caffeine-water only!

Week 4: Sleep 7 hours each night or more!

Week 5: Work out at least 4 times this week.

Week 6:No desserts!
Week 7: Drink 8 cups of water each day.
Week 8: Be active and do 10 miles of something (running, biking, walking, etc.).
Week 9: Eat breakfast every day (this will be hard for me!).
Week 10: Eat small meals every 3 hours for 3 days.
Week 11: No Caffeine!
Week 12: Workout 5 times this week.

It's seems pretty realistic to do and is hitting on physical health and nutrition.
Let me know if you have any suggestions on how I can improve this.

Working Out

Do you ever hear yourself saying:

"This will be the summer I will commit to working out; this will be the year I lose those pounds, etc."

Well that was one of my goals this summer with a few things in mind.

1.) It wouldn't be to lose weight; I would do it to be healthy.

2.) I would not allow myself to say I can't do it.

3.) I would run and be able to run a 5k by the end of the summer.

It's almost July and I have worked out seriously for one week. A couple of weeks ago I worked out for 4 days, which does not seem like a lot, but I was working out hard and I felt good.

Sometimes I am the typical girl who beats herself and has a low view of her body image, but most of the time I am pretty positive about myself. I try not to worry about my weight because I know it would overwhelm me. My goal is just to be positive about myself. I know I am not the super model, nor do I have the "healthy, fit" body people say you should have. I have curves, and yeah I have a stomach, but I love my smile, my eyes, my wavy hair that can air dry and look like I spent hours on, my laugh, my small hands, my strong legs, and the way I can look at myself in the mirror and know I look the most like my dad.

Now that you know how in love with myself I am...I'll get to my point.

I really want to be healthy. I want to eat better and still be able to run as much as I could when I was in high school, or at least be as active as I was. So that is why I am telling you all this.

I heard blogging about your fitness is a good reminder to see your progress and to help motivate you.

I will not dedicate a whole blog to this topic everytime, but I plan on letting you know how I am doing and keeping a record of my workouts and healthy food eats.

Here's to being healthy!
