Journey To Fitness Perfection!: Day One!

Good afternoon followers!

Today is day one of the "Fitness Perfection" journey!

This morning, I felt perfect. I ran a 5K in 30 minutes. My goal is to get under 28 minutes by December for a race my trainer and I have signed up.

My diet has been very protein filled today.

I have a 3 egg omelet this morning with sauteed spinach, onions, and an ounce of goat cheese.

I got a little busy at work and haven't drank as much water as I need to; but, I am catching up now.

For lunch, I have had a "smart one" and some carrots and hummus.

It's time for my protein bar for snack!

I am trying to eat every 2-3 hours which is VERY hard when you are working full-time and meeting with people; but, it is important. I need to focus on my water consumption and eating patterns.

I've got another workout planned for this evening. Today is a VERY cardio based day. I will be boxing and doing some stairs, trying to keep my heart rate above 170 to burn fat. That is going to be my main focus at this point. I feel like I am very strong for a female; but, I have some fat I really need to focus on shaving off my body.

I feel very motivated and ready to accomplish something great. Being an athlete for so long, you want something to focus on and strive for. I couldn't be more excited to participate in a fitness competition and change my life.

I have added before photos and current photos to this blog post. Although, I am VERY embarrassed and where I started, I am very happy with where I am now and what my future holds.

Thanks for everyones support. Until tomorrow.... XOXO!
