Here we are at the beginning of another week… Today was supposed to bring a lot of snow to our area, but so far it seems the predictions were a tad off… Oh well, another perk of mid-western living… the weather has proven again to be quite unpredictable.
So far today I have not really done too much of anything… We had a home appraisal this morning that I had to be here for, then I ran a quick errand… but other than that I have just been relaxing and finishing up the laundry… Dan should be home pretty soon and we will eventually make our way to the gym… then I’m hoping we can grab a quick dinner somewhere, we will see if I can convince him 
Now it’s time to hold myself accountable…
My name is Kelly, and lately I’ve been feeling lazy…
This is a topic I have been thinking about for the last week… My workouts, more specifically cardio, have been a bit off… I have been incorporating more strength workouts {which is awesome!}, but I know my body craves cardio and I just have simply been slacking… No one to blame, or no excuses to make, but sometimes it takes me a little bit to discover where the lack of enthusiasm is rooted to begin with…
I think I’ve been playing a mental game with myself ever since I attempted the detox… I sent myself into such a state of deprivation, that I have been having this “I’ll eat this just because I can” attitude… Detoxes are so powerful for some, but I’m finding for me they are just simply counter-productive… I know the right things to eat, and I know I need to exercise my body… but when I get myself into a eating out of convenience or simply just to have the taste of something mindset, I often spiral out of control… and boy have I felt it these past two weeks… I know this probably sounds pretty dramatic, but I am sincerely still figuring out my boundaries when it comes to food…
Lately I have also felt a little lazy with my workouts… not that it’s not necessary sometimes to take it easy, because I’m all about listening to your body… but I have to be honest with myself when I admit I have been taking the easy road… whether it’s not using a challenging weight, not pushing myself to an extra rep or two, or skipping a workout all together… I’m still completely my weekly goal of exercising 4x/week, but the quality of those workouts need an adjustment… My lack of cardio is evident in how I feel and how I’m eating… The will power to resist an extra sweet snack disappears when I’m not pushing myself at the gym… So here’s to a new week… and sorry for the rambling, but it’s a conversation I needed to have with myself for a while now… and now I’m going to be held accountable
So this week I’m going to incorporate a new workout that lasts approximately 14 days… just to switch things up and get me excited again… and also an abs workout… all courtesy of the most addicting website ever…
And just because it’s Monday… and I love setting goals… here are some goals I set for myself for this week:
- drink more water!
- be mindful about snacking (what and when)
- read the Bible (I love my daily devotional, but at church on Sunday the pastor spoke about how crucial it is to spend time in God’s word, and that is something I really do not do enough)
- make some anniversary plans for this coming weekend! yay!
And here is a picture of Bennett, just because…
And one of Dan because I cannot leave him out… I’m the luckiest! So in love with this handsome hunk!
