Well-ness Journey. SNOW DAY!!! (Day 2)

Hello all my lovelies :)



Today is an okay day. I've been sore all day from yesterday's exercise, and I still haven't done my workout for today :( I've had 3 glasses of water, and I have 5 more left! It's 6:15pm, so I definitely think I will make my goal. I had a good breakfast, which is a challenge for me because I don't normally eat breakfast :P I had half a veggie sub from subway for lunch today... I wonder how many calories that is?  I'm thinking about eating the other half for dinner.



I'm still working on my workout schedule. Yesterday, I did the Insanity at 4:30. By 8:30 I was ready to go to bed. The problem is I don't want to go to bed too early, so I'm thinking that exercising closer to my bed time will be better for me.



So I'm going to a party on Monday! It's an all women's fashion party! I'm so excited! We were invited to bring our favorite dessert. I found a recipe for Zebra striped cake online last week, and I am soooooo excited to make it!



Today marks the first snow!!!!! As I was leaving work this evening (I was called in) there were fat, wet snowflakes falling from the sky!!! It was beautiful to see it at night <3 Some nearby areas have even gotten up to 4 inches already! I hope we don't get that.......
*Reminder* I need to get some gloves and waterproof boots :)



Alright my lovelies,
hope you all have a good night!

Well-ness Journey... water, Water, WATER!!! (DAY 1)

Hello all my lovelies!!!
Today has been great!



I started a part-time job for my school break, and also started my nutritional and exercise
plans! One of my daily goals is to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. Well, it's 2:30pm and I
have already consumed 6 glasses of water! You would think there was no down side to that, but oooooo-boy is there!
This used to happen to me in the past, and I'm sure I'm not the only one, but when I drink too much water, I end up having to use the bathroom CONSTANTLY (sry TMI lol)! I don't know if I like this development, and I feel like this may be my downfall in trying to make sure I drink enough water in the day. Other than that, I haven't had any issues, so day 1 is going very well so far!


Because I work on Mondays, I have to figure out what time of the day is good for me to workout.
Tuesday-Saturday, I should be able to keep to a schedule, but Monday may be a problem for me. So far, I did alright by working out after I got off work today, but it made me super tired aftwerwards. I have the DVD set "Insanity" for excercising. Today was my first time trying it, and it kicked my tail!!!!! I was layed out on the floor, gasping for breath! At that time, it wasn't funny, but now that I think about it, it was hilarious!


I've also decided to keep track of my nutrition through the website sparkpeople.com
On this website, I can insert ANY food that I eat, and count the calories, protein, fat and carbs. It also give me a litmit on my caloric intake, which is between 1500 and 1850 calories per day.


I will check my progress regularly between now and Jan 1st. I will try to update daily just to let you know how I'm feeling during my journey!


Take care lovelies!
Onward! To round 2!

My Fantabulous Introduction!

So get ready for a fun filled ride, because I have no idea where this blog will go, but I'm glad I'm sharing it with you :)
