Weekly Update

Day 19

Well, another week over, another goal met. The kettle bell has proven to be a great form of exercise and is definitely a total body workout. I am still sore from this week’s exercises! I am going to continue working the kettle bell into my weekly routine and hope to see some real transformation soon.

It’s time for the weekly updates!

Soda – well, my fear came true. At the family reunion I went to last weekend, all we brought to drink was, you guessed it, soda. I would have had water, but all they had was tap water with no ice. I am typically not a water snob, but cool, not cold, water from the tap just didn’t sound good to me. I had one Diet Coke, but I am proud to say that I jumped right back on the wagon and have not had another soda since. The important lesson I learned here is just because I have one soda, doesn’t mean I have to continue down the path of drinking one every day. Every now and then a diet soda can be allowed. If I restrict it to the point that I am deprived, then I will fall off the wagon and begin drinking it again. The key is moderation and I think I can handle that!

Breakfast – I am proud to say that I have had a good, healthy breakfast everyday! All in all, I feel great in the mornings, have a lot more energy and don’t get hungry at 9 am every day. I want to work out getting up a little earlier so I can get into work early, but even when I don’t have “time” I still make sure that I am getting a good breakfast in.

Obviously the kettle bells have been a success this week and while I won’t be doing the workouts I described consistently every week, I will definitely be doing some version of them every week. Whether it is be an ab exercise incorporated into a daily workout, or something like that, the kettle bell has definitely proven itself to me and I am a huge supporter!

I wouldn't really call myself an avid runner, but I do enjoy the workout that I get with running. Next week, that will be my topic. I have always wanted to be "runner" and hopefully this will give me some motivation to pick it up again and make some progress!

Have a good weekend, everyone!! Talk to you again Monday!
