I got ran over by the Health and Fitness Wagon

Houston we have a problem..... Do I remember my last consistent workouts? The last time I put together a full week of commitment getting in my workouts? Ummm I'm pretty sure it was in December of last year!!! Why the lack of consistency since then? I could say it has been the fact that I've seemed to be sick with something or another it seems like every other week since the beginning of 2017. Or that I've gotten comfortable with seemingly having it all lately with the addition of my new granddaughter. Did that make me complacent? Yeah I think it did. Instead of my granddaughter's arrival motivating me to stay healthy and fit as I've done the last 7 years, I've become comfortable and content instead. Well comfortable is no longer working. At least by my standards. But the great thing is I've done this fitness lifestyle for so long that several months off the wagon isn't going to deter me or define me. 

So the fact that I've not only fallen off the health and fitness train, but the damn train put itself in reverse and ran over my ass as if I was a speed bump as it continued it's journey forward. Well I'm ready to continue mine and am looking forward to using that motivation not to feel comfortable anymore, but to use it as fuel to move forward! 

Have you fallen off the wagon? Were you ever on it? If not, that's okay. If your ready to take back your life then that's all that matters. I'm lucky to be a part of a great company like Beachbody that offers all their programs to me with instant access online including workout calendar, recipes, meal plans and grocery lists all for 1 great low price! Now all that's left to decide is which workout to start with. Decisions, decisions,,,, Won't you join me? What are you going to start with?

Cleaning the Clutter

That moment when you realize your sabotaging your health from the inside out. That's where I am / was. The last 6 months I've becoming complacent and comfortable with the birth of my Granddaughter. You know when you get in that comfortable position? We'll that's where I've been since her birth and I've been there previously years ago as well. I had that aha moment before (still remember that exact date) 04/25/2009. And I guess today (1/31/17) is the new aha moment that says I need to turn this around. My granddaughter should be my "Time to get and stay healthy for her / my / our future" and not "I can become comfortable moment".

 Comfortable is dangerous, because comfortable is nothing more than a ticking Time bomb. And when it goes Boom, it's your love one's picking up the pieces, not you. It's time to reset and refocus. Here's to turning it around. I've done it before and it's time to do it again. Though this is the LAST time I plan on starting over. I just turned 44 years old last weekend. It's not going to get any easier as the years pass but I can become smarter about it.

 Body Beast program starts again tonight. It's been my absolute favorite program from the last couple of years. And I can't wait to dive back into it for the next couple of months and get results! Time to Clean the Clutter.
