Its that time of year where you want to start over and be the best you possible, right?
Say what you will about "new years resolutioners", at least its happening; who cares when...
I get lots of questions about diet and fitness and truthfully, sometimes i don't answer because i feel like i'm not qualified to and sometimes i don't answer because i'm stuck in a rut and feel i am not the person to be asking because i am very lazy!
So because i've had this kick up the bum to get back on track and fill up my fitness section of the site, here are some fitness resolutions i'm making.
- Drink 128 oz water a day- i drink lots of water any way and that happens to be 2 of my giant hydro flasks per day. Having a set goal like that makes me drink more than if i just pour myself glasses through out the day.
- Take my pre and post workout goodies regularly- Vega are the best i've found for workout supplements because all of them are plant based and easy for your body to use. Their pre-workout energizer helps me to push through workouts without watching the clock (highly recommend if you're doing cardio) and their sports performance protein definitely helps me recover quicker meaning i'm not sore for the next day.
- Use less vegan butter sticks when cooking- if Paula Deen was vegan, that might be me (strictly based on butter usage). Especially in the winter, i always want to make pies and buttery mash and mmmmm, yeah- it needs to stop.
- Do cardio- i hate cardio because i get bored and i don't want my boobs to jostle around. Luckily i can walk fast at high incline and get my heart rate into its target zone without the latter issue occurring. I plan to do 20 minutes 3x a week to start.
- Take weekly pictures- i like to base progress on how i feel but sometimes i swear my hormones make me have this insanely warped view of what i look like. So because of this i'm going to start taking photos again to compare my progress in a more clear manner.
- Yoga- i love yoga; i feel good when i do yoga; and yet i rarely do. I have no idea why this is but it happens in other areas of my life too, i love to sabotage my ultimate happiness. I'm aiming to do a little every day or when i remember and start watching youtube videos for some guidance. I'm also setting a goal to feel confident in one new pose per week.
I think its really important for your goals to be based around feeling better and not numbers and percentages. What are some of your favorite fitness kick-starters? Add yours below and maybe we can all share them and do this together.
