The year of Red

This is my journey of breathing free, eating vegetarian (ovo-lacto-pescatarian; with maybe a few strips of bacon thrown in there for good measure), loving sweating, thinking positive, and taking responsibility for me. This is a healthy lifestyle blog, NO THINSPO only FITSPO!

Making it a routine again

It’s proving more difficult than I remember to incorporate working out in to my schedule. I think having a few different gym partners will help with that. I worked out today after feeling gloomy for most of the day. It is amazing how much sweating is not only a physical, but emotional and mental release for me. 10 minutes on the treadmill, 30 on the elliptical, 5 minutes of stretching and 570 cal burned.
I have a gym date for the am, rest Wednesday, night gym date on Thursday, then rest Friday. Let’s do this!

It has been many moons fitblrs…

But I am making a commitment to myself to put my happiness, health, and over all well being first. I am on the tail end of a break up with my ex of almost 8 years so life has been quite a doozie the past couple of months.

My eating has been erratic, my workouts non existent, and my negative self talk has been running rampant.  This is stopping.

I went to the gym this morning and was reunited with the treadmill (10 min warm up for .5 of a mile) and elliptical (30 minutes on intervals) and it was honestly glorious.

I am tracking again on MFP and I am determined to try to control the things I have power over and accept and move past the things I can not.

Like the phoenix, I will rise from the ashes.

Your Nutritionista: 10 Things You Can Do Right Now for Your Health

nutritionista:

  1. Stop being all or nothing about working out. Just give yourself 20 minutes to kick some booty and you’re done! If you need to, set a timer and just MOVE for 15-20 solid minutes. It can be enough.

  2. Banish sweetened drinks from your vocabulary. I don’t care if it’s “100%” juice or a…
