I guess that's what we will call not posting since January! Time has flown by us and I can't believe that the sweltering Texas heat is already here. I hear thats what happens when you hit the 30 year old mark. ;-) However, I still have 20 days, 494 hours, and 29674 minutes left being a 20 something and I intend to enjoy every last second! Matt and I have recently have been trying to adapt to a healthier lifestyle. Matt has been getting up at 5:30am and going to CrossFit and I am working on getting back into a running routine. Before we were "snoozers" meaning the alarm would go off and we would hit snooze a dozen times before we actually got up. We have incorporated a new eating habit, not a diet, a habit...I hate the word diet. We have been trying our best to follow Paleo. Paleo is all about eating all the organic meats, veggies (besides potatoes), fruits, and nuts you want. We have given up our beloved breads, grains, and potatoes. The first couple of weeks were hard on me b/c I LOVE potatoes and bread...you have no idea..I use to think a meal wasn't complete without a nice garlic bread, rice, or baked potato!!! Now we really don't miss them at all and we are cooking more tasteful meals. It has taught me to enjoy GOOD food. We are now cooking together and planning meals together and enjoy and look forward to our meals. I would be happy to share some recipes!
For me the eating habit part was easy... I have to be honest that I have had a hard time getting motivated to do the exercise part. I have been running for the past 3 weeks but everyday is a internal fight with myself to get my shoes on and head out the door. Matt seems to have better self discipline as far as exercising goes and is up and adam every morning and I just want to pull the covers over my head and snooze for another hour! I guess I thought if I maybe I let all you guys know my struggle, it will help me hold myself accountable. So, I have decided to take you guys along my journey and let you know my progress as well as my stuggles. I will do a short post weekly to update. If you are trying to get on a exercise plan, lets do it together and motivate each other! It can't hurt right?
I found this quote on Pintrest and I read it everyday and it helps me get going...I'm a quote person. ;-) So, I'll share and maybe it will help you too!
On a another note. Hope everyone enjoyed their Memorial Day Weekend! :-)
