Every New Beginning Comes From Some Other Beginning's End.....

Got a lot of things coming up in the next few months. A trip 'home', a vacation, and my 'little' sister's wedding. What a blessing that I am able to do all these things!

So, a follow up from my last post. After a kick off week of super clean eating, I am on my way to fit-town. Because for me, skinny isn't an option. It's just not the way God made me. I've got Mary Lou Retton thighs, huge calfs and a broad chest. And even though I don't like that I don't have long stick legs-it was those muscular stumps that got me thru 5 years of stunting in college. So I strive(not settle) for fit.
I've hit the gym for at least 30 min of cardio each day. I've also been doing 3 various weekly plans that have complete arm, glute-area, and ab/core circuits for each day. Now that I'm getting back to 'real-life' eating I'm shooting for 3 meals with 2 snacks. I may go to 5 mini meals but I am going to try 3-2 first.

Train insane or remain the same! I bid goodbye to blah me....and(as Barbara would say) hello gorgeous! :)

Check below for a few new foods I'm trying out. The peanut spread says gluten free and vegan, and it was very good! Almost as good as my favorite Krema peanut butter.

High: that I set a goal and have stuck to it, even tho I wanted to quit(just about every time I got to the gym)
Low: realizing that a lifestyle change means limiting my beloved pasta

Weekend highlight: Hank fell asleep sitting up in the car yesterday. We took the dogs to Bark at the Park downtown and got to play and meet lots of other dog lovers. A great time was had by all.....
