Spring Health Challenge

[~Kim~]

I'm jumping in too.

I've been 'going to' for months now. My body is now my own for the first time in years and I'm feeling old and foggy. I want to feel fit and strong and clear minded and calm.

Current weight:
72.2
First goal:
70 - I just can't start. That's the problem
Ultimate Goal
65 However, if I am happy with the shape and feel then the scales don't matter.
Goal to achieve by: Christmas, but continue fitness and toning for a Fiji holiday in March with a bunch of 'lots under 30's

Mind
Be kinder. Everyday. When I am kinder, I am calmer. Calmer me makes our world a better place.

Spirit
I will go back to meditating most days. I will schedule it in rather than just trying to catch a few minutes randomly.

Body
I have gone back to the gym finally. My aim is 3-4 times a week
I will go back to running with the pram on the other days after school drop off. This is a mind hurdle for me as starting again seems monumental. I have lost so much fitness it feels impossible.
Signing up for a colour run in November.
10 000 steps every day.
Whole nutritious foods and less crappy carbs - no matter whether they fit in my calorie allowance or not.

Teni, that's my problem with the gym too.
FF I have mine in an inopportune spot in the laundry. Out of sight, out of mind.

So far this week I have gone ok. I've managed to exercise 2 days so far. This is a marked improvement from the weeks before of no exercise . Diet hasn't been fantastic but it hasn't been awful either. I find it really hard to exercise when it's cold. Again, this is a mindset thing and an excuse.

I'll probably try to weigh myself once a week just to help keep me on track. I avoid the scales when I'm not being good cause if I don't know what they say I can trick myself in to thinking I'm ok. When I weigh myself I stay more focused.

I'm thinking I might measure myself rather than rely on the scales as I find them a better indication. I'm going ok this stupid cold is still lingering so I haven't done any full on exercise but have been doing lots of gardening so I'm counting that I'm trying to work up the courage to join the gym. I have a super fit friend who has offered to train with me but I find gyms really embarrassing as it's a public display of how unfit I am. On the diet stuff I'm really working on reducing my sugar intake as I consume far too much. I'm taking baby steps with it all at the moment but it's still better than nothing and hopefully I will be feeling 100% soon and can really get into it.
