Since I have talked about the How to Get Lean Plan last week on my blog. I thought about being consistent with this healthy lifestyle. I already have a plan in place I just have to start doing it. I am actually doing it (exercises and eating healthy), I just have to be consistent with it.
Why do I want to do this? First, I want to be a good example to my family. Secondly, being in a healthcare field, it is an eye opener for me to see younger patient which are sicker than my 90 something year old patients. From there you can tell who took good care of themselves when they were younger. Thirdly, I also have different diseases that runs in my family (like cancer), that is why I am trying to improve. lastly, I want to be a better version of me.
What do I want to achieve? Be fit, Be toned! Specially on my mid section, I was already close to it but then again my consistency was not there. This time in this mini series, I will make it live as to encourage myself and my readers that this is it. I know I can do this! And when I started doing this exercises, I noticed I am more energetic, I don’t get tired easily. Which is a good thing, as a working mom.
I am here to spread health and fitness, health is wealth!
I would also like to mention, that this wouldn’t be possible without my mom and my husbands support. Thank you!
Just want to share this too. During workout, sometimes my daughter will exercises with me, practicing her gymnastic skills. Now that is good mother and daughter bonding, training them young.
So Here is my open diary for this fitness journey. Every week I will update you guys with my progress. Like I said I am here to be an encourager and be a good example.
I began this journey on July 8, 2015
Weight: 130 lbs
Height: 5’6″
Measurements in inches:
Arms: 11
Waist: 29
Thighs: 22
What did I do on the 8th?
I signed up for my S Health from my Samsung phone. I believe other phones also have different apps like this. On there I was able to keep track on my food and water intake and steps that I made for the day. So far, I am on track. I actually lost 2 lbs already. I only needed to lose 3 more lbs to reach my goal and then that is it, I need to tone.
I still use my nike training app, I really love it. It has 3 programs to choose from that you can follow week per week. One program is usually 4 weeks 15-30-45 mins workout plan outlined. It has videos to follow so to make sure you are doing the workout right.
I tend to eat at least 2-5 fruits a day, I put a lot of protein on my diet. I still eat rice at least once a day. And I am still working on being able to drink 8 glasses of water everyday.
I also follow this ladies on instagram. They have been my inspiration because I can relate to them, they are also moms like me. @milesaubrey @inaraymundo95 @kim_fairley.
For this health and fitness regimen. All body types are different so do what you think is best for you, and if you have health issues. Consult your doctors first.
Last Friday, I was also in search for workout buddies. It is always good to have people around you with the same goal. Because you encourage each other. So when I was talking to my co workers. They liked my idea, so they said they would like to participate with this lifestyle journey.
I will keep you guys updated once I have all their information. This is gonna be exciting! We are still brainstorming on how we can further motivate each other.
Our group will consist of all ladies, with different body types and different habits and exercises that we follow, different diet. So that most of you can relate.
They have agreed for me to post they measurements too and their pictures to see if they have progress. So, happy reading…. Join us in this journey for a better version of Us.
Simply,
Christianne
