1 down and many to go....

So today marks 1 week that I have been trying really hard to get into shape and eat healthy...its been really hard so far but totally worth it! I feel so much better about myself...even though I am a long way away from my goal!

My dream is to become a police officer when Kila starts school (I know I have a while but that's all the more reason to start working towards it now!) Becoming a Cop has been something I have wanted to do since I was like in 7th grade...and I think if I really want it I can do it

So I started working out and eating healthy and I have a determined mind set for it....I just don't want to lose that mind set after just a week so I'm doing everything to keep myself interested and focused...

I started a "journal" I guess is what you can call it and I record everything I have eaten and the calories...I write down any exercise I did and how many glasses of water I have drank...I cut out all soda, alcohol, and sugary drinks from my diet and I feel really good to be able to say I don't drink anything but water!

I'm also doing a kickboxing class 2 nights a week (I love it) and I might be starting a TRX class too..I haven't decided on that though and I swim 2-3 nights out of the week and do a workout routine from Jillian Micheal's Monday-Friday

I record my weight every Sunday morning and then the rest of Sunday is my break day...I don't have to record anything or work out at all on Sundays...like a "treat day" and that really gives me something to look forward to!

I am already seeing a difference in the way I feel and my energy levels and I am so excited to keep working towards my goal...I suppose the reason I am writing this blog is to have something to remind myself of how great being healthy makes me feel....(plus I wouldn't mind a little encouragement either lol jk)

So wish me luck and pray for me to stay focused and reach my goal lol :)
