Goal Setting

Hello all! Happy Spring!! I was so happy that today was a beautiful sunny day! It always puts me in a great mood :)

Today started out slow and uneventful.

I had my usual breakfast: hard boiled egg whites, two clementines,and green tea

I later indulged in a mid-morning snack of a Fiber One 90 calorie brownie.



Lunch

4 oz chicken breast (leftover from last night's dinner)
Steamed broccoli and steamed green beans
Diet peach green tea












My lunch was very GREEN!!

After work I headed for Club Fitness to start my workout. I have been wanting to get back into running again so I headed straight to the "dreadmill." I really hate treadmills but it was a little too chilly for my liking to run outdoors today.

Workout

• 3.2 mile run
• 10 pound dumbell arm front and lateral raises
• Squats with Medicine ball
• 5 minute abs
• Oblique crunches
• Reverse crunches
• Flutter Kicks
• Basic Crunches
• Penquin crunches
• Plank

I didn't work out for as long as I generally do but it certainly was an intense workout. Because I have been focusing more on bootcamp and spin class, I have been slacking in the running department. But given that summer is right around the corner I need to get back in the running groove!

I have been thinking about my top  Health and Wellness Goals for 2013 (never too late for a New Year's Resolution right?!)

My 2013 Goals

1. Eat foods with less artificial sweeteners and ingredients therefore eating more natural and organic foods (Limit my intake of diet sodas and diet green teas)
2. Run at least 10 miles per week (~2-3 times per week) in addition to fitness classes
3. Lose 5% body fat

While losing weight would be fantastic, I am more concerned about toning up and burning body fat. I was not happy with my recent body fat percentage reading! Clearly I have some pretty big goals. However they are manageable with some hard work.

After all, "No Pain, No Gain!"
Summer is just around the corner you guys!!!
