Personal Training

The weather is finally getting warmer, I have always liked running and working-out outside over being stuck inside. Lately I have been doing a lot of biking and running because I just can't pass up the opportunity to enjoy the nice weather. The workouts I do with the guide I purchased are going well also. They are also getting harder each week, but without hard work and dedication I can't expect any progress. I have become so used to eating healthy that eating certain fast foods or junk food will actually upset my stomach and make me feel extremely sluggish. I would much rather go home and make a good healthy meal that will fill me up over wasting money on food that is terrible for my body. Along with food I find that if I go a day without drinking water like I normally do I feel extremely dehydrated. Lately there hasn't been a whole lot to write about besides the progress I have been making, this makes my blogs seem repediative and lacking a whole lot of information. None the less progress is always being made and one thing that I have decided through this project is the direction I want to go in career wise. Ive decideed to go into health and fitness, I want to get a degree as a physical therapist and then go into personal training. While it isn't a high income job it would be something I would enjoy, and to me I would rather enjoying my job than make a ton of money doing something I hate. It would allow me to stay active and encoursage/help others to be healhty and active. 

Being healthy

As summer is getting closer I realize how much more I want to accomplish my goal of being a healthy and fitter person. Having a jump start before summer even starts will help me get into my ' summer workout schedule' a lot easier and makes me really happy with my project choice.Running has always been something I've enjoyed; it's realaxing, clears my mind, and improves my body. It's great to start seeing the results from running. I can again see the muscle in my legs that I was starting to lose from all the days of not running. With working five days a week and having school sometimes running becomes hard; this is often when I am glad I have the ' Bikini Body Guide' to workout with. Each workout is only twenty-eight minutes long, but it's definitely a hard work out that makes me sweat. These workouts for perfectly into my day and help me feel accomplished at the end of the day. 

       Through this project I have realized one major aspect of the type of lifestyle I want to live. I always want to stick with healthy eating. Eating healthy is something I truly enjoy. There are so many foods out there that are not only healthy, but delicious. I've noticed that since I started eating healthier when ever I have a day where I'll eat good amount  of ' junk food' my body feels different. I will feel tired, lazy and just over all sluggish. I find myself regretting the food choices and looking forward to the next 'new ' day of eating better food. I've started drinking tea daily, either at night or in the morning before school. It not only relaxes me, but is a great natural detoxer. The caffeine in tea is a lot different than caffeine in coffe or pop-it is gentler on your system and doesn't give you the jitters. Tea along with water is definitely on of my favorite drinks. 

    These past few weeks of the 20-time project have really helped me be more committed to eating healthy and exercising. I hope you guys have enjoyed my blog as much as I have enjoyed doing the project!
