Many of you have been asking for a fitness post, so here it is! I’m going to try to go through all of the details of my health/ lifestyle to give you guys as much information as possible. Fitness has been a large part of my life for most of my life. From the age of 3-14 or so, I did competitive dance and gymnastics. In college, I was a part of my school’s cheer squad, which did not lack with keeping me in tip top shape. It’s been about 2 years since I’ve cheered, so I had to find something I enjoyed to keep me in shape.
I’m not particular about my physical activity, and honestly, it changes with the seasons. For a while I was hooked on going to “Booty Barre” at my gym once a week. There have been seasons I have just run a mile a day. Right now, I have found a workout plan that I enjoy and is quick and efficient. Hubby and I purchased a DVD set called Insanity Max 30 by Shaun T. The DVD set runs over a course of 2 months; however, we have continued to do it past that point. There are 3 cardio DVDs and 2 strength/power DVDs. I try my hardest to do 1 cardio and 1 strength workout a week. The DVD also comes with a killer 10 minute ab workout that I try to do twice a week if possible. I also try to keep up my gymnastics when possibly bc that’s truly the most amazing full body workout!
As far as my diet goes, I don’t particularly eat healthy (I don’t eat McDonald’s very often or anything crazy like that) but I’m big on portions. I believe that’s pretty important in a diet. A typical day looks like this: half of a blueberry bagel for breakfast, half of a grilled chicken wrap with bacon, BBQ, and onions (and a bag of jalapeño chips) from Roly Poly for lunch, and dinner is always changing anywhere from Olive Garden to grilled chicken breasts at home. Once I know I’m full, I try to stop eating right then (and of course save room for dessert). I also try really hard not to eat past 7:00 if possible.
I hope that information was helpful and encouraging. The truth is, we all respond to certain workouts and diets differently. The important thing is to find what you like and enjoy, and just be active! God made us all so different and unique, but we are all SO beautiful in our own ways. Strive to ‘be perfectly you’ in your fitness and life, and you can’t go wrong. (: What do you guys do to stay active?
You’re beautiful, and don’t forget it.
#beperfectlyyou
