Welcome to the first installment of Monthly Motivation, a monthly healthy & fitness link up! I am joined by my BOFF Pinky and the lovely Carolyn where we will share our goals, trials, triumphs, successes and failure in each of our health & fitness journeys. We hope you will join with us the last Tuesday of each month and allow us to keep each other accountable.
My fitness goals:
1. Tone my arms. I have an obsession with my arms. I had an arm envy over a girl I competed in Miss Texas with, and have been on a quest ever since. I have been slowing changing up my arm workouts so that I can achieve that sculpted v of a deltoid. Ya know that, muscle above your bicep and not quite your shoulder?
2. Change it up! I get in the worst workout rut. I do the same thing every time: 40 minutes of cardio, abs then weights. And my weight routine? boring and the same. I am going to work on changing up the cardio, add in sprints, intervals, high resistance. And.... doing more dynamic lifting.
3. Get up and move at the office. I need to get up every 30-60 minutes and take a lap around the office. It refreshes the mind and keeps you from being sedintary all day long. When you feel the slump of the back or the your eyelids start to quiver, get up and take a lap.
My Healthy Diet Goals:
1. Salad Sundays. I started this at the beginning of the summer and hope to keep it going. It gets my reset for the week. I hope to eat at least 2 salads at week.
2. Substitute yogurt for dessert. I just need something sweet. Hello greek yogurt!
3. Water, water, water! I have been trying to drink more water with my new water bottle. I just need to pack on the H2O! Water does wonders for the skin, digestion and metabolism! It also can decrease tummy bloat and fatigue. Add lemon, lime or other infused fruit blends, but what ever you do, drink your water!
Alright, let me know your health & fitness goals. Let us keep each other accountable and motivated! What is one health goal you have?
Great goals, BOFF!!! I'm working on that deltoid V...it's so close!!! And yes, changing workouts is key for motivation and change in your body too! I think you have great ideas for food and fitness this month! I'll help keep you accountable :)! xoxo
