Welcome to My Fitness Journey

I don't share a lot of details of my fitness journey. Sure, I talk about working out and eating healthy - but I don't generally go into the details of my highs and lows.  I don't discuss my struggles. I don't discuss the bad days or the "off" weeks. But what good does that really do?

Truth is - I struggle some days. Everything doesn't work out the way I want it to. Most notably, I still don't have [visible] abs.

So I have decided to share my journey with you all. The good. The bad. The ugly. 

Hopefully it will inspire someone to keep pushing towards their goals.   

This week I started a new plan. I want to lose some body fat and build muscle. Right now I am targeting my flutes & hamstrings, along with my arms. Obviously my abs are always a thought, but they aren't my target right now. 

I started doing more interval/HIIT training this week. I also changed to a new lifting plan. So far I like the new workouts. I also started using my heart rate monitor again. I love that thing! It makes me push harder every workout because I set goal caloric burn amounts for each workout. 

Nutrition wise I have been eating clean. I haven't been counting calories, but I have been eating all high quality, nutritious foods. However, yesterday I was thinking I was going to do a Whole 30 or Paleo challenge to detox my body and get back to the basics. Then I woke up overnight with an upset stomach. I am definitely starting The Whole 30 or a Paleo diet Sunday - when I meal prep for next week. 

Feel free to join me. 

That's it for now. I'll post at least once a week, but sometimes it'll be more frequent depending on what's going on.
