On Track and Happy

Last Week’s Stats

 

Go me!  Can I just tell you FitBit is awesome!

What I Do

The 10,000 steps daily is not easy just to be honest.  It requires 3 mini workouts every day (except Sunday my off today).  So I work out in the morning –I especially love the mornings I work out with Lisa, my bestie that lives across the street.  Then in the afternoon I take my darling daughter Sammi walking. That kid has some energy!  I can’t believe how much she can walk.  It’s good for both of us to get some fresh air, and it’s wonderful how it is not as cold out.

The biggest thing is my attitude.  Every day instead of seeming miserable as I can’t eat foods I want is instead another day I get healthier.  It’s an awesome feeling!

Today’s Workout

I have to say I’m really proud of my workout today with Lyndsay (Monday’s trainer).  She had me walk up and down hills again.  When we did this a couple of week’s ago, I could only go up the hill one time without stopping and it seriously nearly killed me (well it felt like it anyway).  But today, I went up it without stopping in between THREE times.  I guess I’m super proud of that.  Yeah me!

I’m actually seeing progress.  I started with a whoppin’ speed on the treadmill of 1.7 and now I have it at 2.4.  It’s exciting.  You have to keep challenging yourself or you are wasting your time.

My Poor Baby

 

Look what my poor angel did at the babysitter’s.  Mean ol’ wall!  I thought it was going to be stitches or something, but we were lucky.  Ibuprofen, popsicles, and lots of cuddling and she was fine.  She is one tough cookie!

Sammi is my biggest motivation right now.  I want to be there as she grows up, and I want to be able to keep up with her and take her hiking.  I want her to be healthy and have a long good life.  I love my baby!
