The health train

Hey y'all!

So I've had to take a little leave of absence on my workouts this week. I work with cows on a daily basis and unfortunately was kicked pretty darn good by a heifer (female cow that has not had a calf yet for those of you not in the agriculture world). Twice, in fact. Once on the hip and then again on the thigh. I am fine, getting kicked is a part of the job. However, she got me pretty good this time.  It's the one on the thigh that has me out of commission. I have a lovely black and blue bruise as a trophy however. I am happy to report that I did go for a run on the elliptical last week for the first time in a long long time. I am definitely not where I was, nor where I hope to be, but it's a start on the right track again. 

Goal 1- Water Intake- I haven't quite reached my goal yet. The date I was hoping to reach this goal is approaching super fast. Like, this weekend fast. I know I probably wont reach it all the way but I am still proud of how far I have come. I can say without a doubt I am drinking WAY more water than I used to! Plus for me  :)  

Goal 2-Maintain Weight- I have no idea. We don't have a scale and I'm ok with that. I want to remember that my journey is not about the weight or numbers but about getting fit and a healthier life. This is hard for me to remember sometimes.

 I thought I would share with you all my favorite "workout" helper. http://www.dancefitnesswithjessica.com/              I absolutely love this girl! She's amazing!!! She shares inspirational and motivational stories and her videos range in intensity and style. I can't say enough good about her. Her style is dance fitness (hence the title) and she integrates dance moves with workout moves. They are uploaded individually so you can chose the type of song/style of dance/intensity. I try to do 7-8 songs every other day. I started out at doing only 2-3. She also has a DVD out which I haven't had the chance to order yet sadly. That's going on the to do list right meow. 

Well that's it for now. I will report updated results soon!
