Maddux is 9 months....WHAT!!!! CRAZY!!!
Averie is in First Grade and doing great. I LOVE LOVE LOVE her teacher. Couldn't ask for a better team of teachers.
I am working full time still, but I did get a promotion. WHOOT WHOOT!
Brian is working hard, and we are still working towards our goal of saving for a house. We are on track for the end of this year.
Anessa is working for the State now which is so amazing. She seems to be very happy. Her father and I are happy for her. We both believe this is a good path for her.
Okay, now onto the good stuff. In the past my blog has kind of been a lot about nothing. I mean there was the occasional post talking about family and what we are doing and plans we have. Other than that I don't feel like it is structured in any way. Until now. I have recently started a new journey that I am so excited to share on here.
I love working out at the gym and eating healthy, but I find that it comes in waves. Until now! I am committed to make it my lifestyle and not just a fluke thing I do. I have been creating a workout plan and figuring out how to track what it is that I am putting into my body. The easiest way to do this I think is with an app for my iPhone. I am still on the hunt for one, so if there are any suggestions out there comment below.
Here is my before picture for documentation purposes. I was watching some fitness videos on YouTube and one of the girls I watch said to use pictures to track your progress not the scale. I think that is a great idea. Considering that weight loss is not my goal. I am looking to be a healthier me and gain muscle. Don't worry, I love my family and will still share and give updates on the kids. For now the excitement of this is riding high.
My Plan moving forward. Hopefully by putting it here and documenting this new adventure I will continue to be motivated. But, my plan is to go to the gym 3-4 days a week. The gym is at my work so I go during the day. Talk about super convenient. Weekly plan goes something like this.
- Monday: Off
- Tuesday: Legs and Glutes
- Wednesday: Cardio/ Stair Master
- Thursday : Chest and Arms
- Friday: Cardio/ Stair Master
Once I have really nailed down my routine I will share what exactly it is that I do. I am also looking into a cycling class that takes place on Thursday's so that could be incorporated.
Well I am excited to be at this place in my life and I have a very supportive system around me. Anessa my stepdaughter is also into fitness, and so I have been asking her lots of questions and getting some great advice. I can't wait to share everything that I learn with all of you.
Here we GO!
