Welcome to the third month of my Year of Challenges!
Can you believe it is March already? Despite the snow outside, spring is just around the corner and with that comes the shedding of over-sized sweaters and bulky sweatshirts. I tend to hibernate in the winter, putting off workouts and eating way more than I know I should. But neither are great habits to have when you don’t have extra clothing to camouflage and baby weight still to lose.
March is my time to stop making excuses and to start taking better care of myself. You too? I’m out of the new baby fog and ready to put in the work. I won’t tell you that I’m working toward a “bikini body”…because, um, hello body that birthed five babies. But I am hoping that this month will work as a little boot camp of sorts, whipping myself into gear and creating better habits.
I’ll also let you in on a little secret: I’m training for my first half marathon in May. This is a big dream of mine and I’m really excited to cross this goal off of my life list. It’s also even more incentive to work toward an athlete’s body.
So here we go!
My challenge this month:
- Walk 10,000+ steps daily
- Continue to work on drinking at least 5 glasses of water everyday
- Eat at least one salad/green vegetable a day
- Try one new type of exercise (maybe pilates? barre?)
