i have found something i enjoy doing regularly....kicking some ass! and it just has to be in the gym...and i love when it's my own ass that i am kicking! :)
that's where this comes in...i've decided to share with everyone what i do on a regular basis....working out and eating. while i am no chef, i simply work hard at making sure i am consuming good choices. nothing fancy here when it comes to the kitchen! aaron is the cook...not me! since he is gone...i stick to the very basics! that's something i want to work on though...stepping out and creating something wonderful in the kitchen! any suggestions...send them my way!!!
so to begin...i have a few specific goals that i am working on accomplishing.
1. lose 3 lbs by vacation...currently weighing in at 130.5...shooting for 127 by june 16th. this is totally doable...
2. lose 10 lbs by july 31....again...aiming to be 120. totally doable...
3. eat ice cream one time a week...this will be hard...but totally doable...
4. exercise 6 times a week. love it!
5. two workouts per day, three times a week...this is to help force myself to get a lift in. doable!
they are measurable...and very attainable...keys to setting great goals!
