How I Want to Identify Myself...

...is not how I've been acting. I want to be active, energetic, a clear athlete. When people see me, I want them to be able to tell that I appreciate my body, and am willing to spend time on it. If you aren't willing to spend the time on yourself, no matter how much, why should you expect anyone else to do the same? If you want the man with the bulky biceps or six pack, is that hypocritically that you do not try and treat your own body like a champion? We only get one, and we should treat it like our temple. People who have nice bodies, just look like they are in control-- of their lives, and their bodies. And I would love to have and maintain more control in my life. A contract to myself: -take care of yourself! -don't eat shit that you know it will make you feel like shit! -limit drinking, especially binge drinking on weekends -exercise! Be the girl who needs to exercise as a daily part of life, where it's not a dreaded situation to go to the gym. -if you're not completely satisfied when looking in the mirror, keep working. But understand that these things take time, and with commitment and dedication, it can happen. -maintain a positive work life balance, and try to remove stress and negative things from your mind. Goals: -workout 4x a week. -cook my lunches every Sunday night + freeze -complete lesson plans + busy work on Friday night + Saturday mornings - keep the weekends open! I've been working on a 30 min treadmill plan lately, and it includes a variance of speeds and inclines, to help work various muscles of the legs, while still creating a calorie burn from interval training. I also do 20 minutes of weights.
