#attainablegoals

So tonight I decided to train upper body at home. My truck is low on gas and I kinda just wanted to stay in with my man. The only equipment I have are these three kettlebells (8, 10, 15 pounds) and this band (I have no idea what resistance it is.) So needless to say some thought had to go into it for me to have a good workout. Obviously, or maybe not if you are a novice to exercise, most of the work would be unilateral. (One arm at a time.) I performed supersets and giant sets to keep my heart rate elevated a little. I also warmed up with a yoga flow just so I wasn't lifting cold, even though the weight was light. If anyone is interested in reading what exactly I did for this particular at-home workout, give this post a double tap.

The A of SMART goals stands for ATTAINABLE.⠀ .⠀ Set a goal that's within reach.⠀ .⠀ The "smartest" goal isn't necessarily the most challenging one. In fact, it takes intelligence to craft a goal that's not too easy, but not too hard.⠀ .⠀ Nothing kills motivation faster than feeling like there's no way you can succeed. Why even try?⠀ .⠀ When you set a goal that's reasonable, and within reach, you're more likely to feel motivated and empowered.⠀ .⠀ So, to keep with our movement example: if you haven't run in years, and you're coming back from an injury, why don't you set a goal to walk around the block, rather than to run a marathon this year?⠀ .⠀ You can always increase the difficulty of your goal as you achieve steps along the way.⠀ .⠀ posted on Instagram - http://bit.ly/2CbEotu

I used to be a step aerobics instructor and it is something I really enjoy. I decided to start with the things I really like doing to keep myself motivated. I realized quickly that I was no longer the 18 year old aerobics instructor, but a 28 year old teacher that had really let things go. I started out with a 20 minute step routine, it was hard, but I freakin made it through. I am also using a Pilates bar with resistance bands to work out at night. As things get easier, I will start working up to things that I really don’t enjoy doing, but I know are good for me. As a start though, this is going good for me. One of the problems I have had in the past is me channeling the high school athlete mentality and I push myself too hard. I either hurt myself or end up being so sore I start making excuses and slack off. I am much more motivated this time around but starting out slow is going pretty good so far. I have hopes to start Jillian Micheal’s 30 Day Shred in a few weeks.

I generally enjoy healthy foods. I live in Austin, so there are tons of options for heathy and natural foods. My problem comes from Chipotle burritos and beer. I love beer, I’m a Small town Texas girl and, well, beer is awesome. Problem is beer is empty calories. So, I am keeping within my calorie count everyday and can only drink beer socially (one or two times a week). I am also cutting out fast food and (sigh) Chipotle entirely. I bought pre made salads for lunches and the better tasting lean cuisines for dinner. I eat a Fiber One brownie for breakfast and eat baby bel cheese, bananas and cutie oranges for snacks. It is working well so far. My worst habit is going all day long and finally realizing I’m starving around 6 pm, so at this point I have destroyed my metabolism. My first week is going to be rough because I am pulling my body out of starvation mode. When you don’t eat very often, your body starts storing everything because it doesn’t know when it will get food again. I may be disappointed after this week, as far as, weight loss, but I hope that I will be rewarded in the weeks to come! My Diet Coach also send me push notifications on my iPad to help remind me to eat during the day.
