I’m so excited that it’s February!

I’ll be honest, starting this new year making my health and wellness a priority was very intimidating in the beginning. However, now that January has come and gone, and I’ve completed my January 2020 Challenge, I can honestly say I’ve never been more excited to see where my health journey will take me next!

It’s no secret that I love working out.

For me it’s never been about my appearance, but always about the way it makes me feel. When I exercise, I always feel energized, much happier, way less fatigued, and stronger than I was the day before. I also find inspiration and motivation to tackle anything life throws my way!

That’s why the next chapter of my health and wellness journey I’m choosing to really focus on increasing all these positive benefits that come from exercising. Mainly because I want to have an endless amount of energy (is that possible?).

In other words, I want to only feel tired because I know I worked my ass off for the day, and therefore only rest when I absolutely need it. I want this and so much more for my overall health, and I’m making this month the official start of it all!

So how I am going to do this? By committing to the PIIT28 and 28 Day Rest Program. [Read more…]

I wanted to live a healthy lifestyle. This to me meant I wanted to eat healthier foods for my body, I wanted to exercise every day, and just be more active on a day to day basis. I always admired this kind of lifestyle for so many reasons.

The main reason being the fact that I believed living a healthy lifestyle showed that you cared about your overall health. I didn’t want to reach my old age and be dealing with the health problems that I see a lot of my family members dealing with. So, I wanted to start taking better care of my health now rather than later.

When I started my healthy lifestyle journey there was so much that I didn’t know, and there’s still a lot that I don’t know. But the one thing I have come to understand so well is the importance of setting goals related to your health, wellness, and any fitness.

Years ago, you wouldn’t have been able to convince me that setting fitness goals was necessary for your health and wellness journey. Now, I know that it is. Having fitness goals is the number one way to keep yourself accountable for everything that you are and are not doing to help you reach those goals.

If you just mindlessly embark on your journey you’ll never know when you’ve reached a life changing milestone (no matter how big or small it is). With goals you are able to track your progress and see just how far you have come. The best part is that it’s also a great way for you to actually see what specifically you are doing that is furthering you along your journey.

Goal setting was something that I started to do about a year ago and I found it harder to commit to then I thought it would be. This was because I didn’t really understand what it meant to have a fitness goal, how to set it, and more importantly how to stick to it. However, with so many trials and errors that I’ve experienced in the past year, I’ve learned a thing or two about how to keep your fitness goals.

And I’m going to share them with you! [Read more…]
