Health train derails.....and other snippets


Welp,
It's official. My health train has fallen off the tracks.. I've been in denial about a week and half or so about the fact that I haven't exercised lately. (Since I got kicked.) My choices in meals have not been the best either. (Does pizza and Chinese food count if I made it at home?) As a result I feel like I have really taken a step backwards. Unfortunately, I can really notice that I haven't been as active. I've been more tired and my motivation has officially stepped off the train and decided to hop on with someone else. I feel like this is my problem. My motivation is just not there.

Not for long. Starting tomorrow, I am kicking this butt into high gear!  Jillian Micheals DVD and Dance Fitness with Jessica here I come! At least I have recognized my missing motivation and my complete lack of exercise before I completely undo what I have started. (Which is a big improvement from when I normally take note and actually try to do something about it.) The original water goal is actually still going well. However, just about everything else has seemed to have wandered off with my motivation. So new goals: PORTION SIZE!!! Just because I can eat a lot in one sitting, does not mean I should. LESS CARBS. This one is going to be hard for me. Which is why I have not set a specific amount or type or whatever.. I just know that I love carbs. I know I eat a lot of them and I know that I need to cut back if I want to get that lean fit body that I am looking for. So hopefully my self control will stick with me. EXERCISE. Before I didn't have a specific number of days I worked out. Just tried to do it a few times a week. This time I'm cracking down and exercising 5 days a week. I think I am going to keep the days I have off as relax days that way when I work, I also work out and keeping track of everything. Hopefully, will be much easier. So it's time to get this train back on the tracks and moving in the right direction. Wish me luck! (And if you see my motivation running around, could you please send it back my way??)


In other news, not a whole lot going on over here. We have been trying to make this little apartment more like home. (Which takes a while when you don't have ANYTHING.) We got a beautiful new (to us) kitchen table today! I love it! Marble top with dark wood legs and black chairs. We also officially have curtains in the bedroom! Slowly moving forward! My favorite room is still the bathroom which is mostly finished. followed by the bedroom which is the next closest room to being done.


The other day I made a few of my old t-shirts into work out tanks. (One of my attempts to find my motivation again.) Actually they turned out pretty cute! (Thank you Pinterest!) I also made a beach type bag from an old t-shirt. I don't know what has come over me with being crafty lately but I kind of like it! It's fun and helps me find uses for things that I am no longer using! This little t-shirt transformation session I had has given me the courage to maybe try a bigger project?? Not sure what yet though.
A few of the designs I used.

Now I just need to get myself in gear to actually use the cute tanks I made!!
