This year so far has been all about change. Some good, some bad. I have realized that some friendships that I have are very negative and have decided to start trying to put an end to those relationships. This has been pretty interesting so far but I know it's for the best. If all you ever feel like after talking with someone is negativity then that's not someone you should be around. I know I have been that type of person in the past but I refuse to be that any more.
On to the good changes. As many of you have seen I have let myself go, physically, over the past couple of years. I have decided that enough is enough and have decided to put a stop to this as well. Right now I am doing a 30 day challenge through BeachBody. In this challenge you have to drink a Shakeology shake once a day for the 30 days as well as use any BeachBody workout that you like. Last year I purchased TurboFire, which is an intense cardio workout that Chalene Johnson created (thanks to SarahBeth Kuster for introducing me to this workout). I am on day 2 of this challenge and am really looking forward to completing it. There is a facebook group that goes along with this challenge. There are 52 other people, including our coaches, doing the challenge. This helps because you have to post daily on the page about what workout you did, if you drank enough water for the day and you have to rate your food intake for the day. This is really helping me so far with accountability and I hope I can keep up with it throughout the entire challenge.
This weekend I am also starting a Boot Camp that several women in my church are doing. This is, I believe a 6 week program. I'm very excited to start this! If you couldn't tell yet, I am seriously ready to get back in shape and get my old body back! I know I will probably never look like I did in high school....105 pounds, 5'4", tiny little waist... I am coming to terms with the fact that this may not ever happen but anything is better than how I look and feel right now!
In January I decided to start dancing at my old studio, Allegro, again. This was by far one of the best decisions I've made! Along with eating better, dancing again has really helped me start to lose weight and helped me prepare for this challenge! I have a performance this weekend! It's been 5 years since my last ballet performance and I'm so excited to be back on stage again! Hopefully I can continue taking classes the rest of the year!
If you didn't know, I am a senior at Sullivan right now. In December I will finish school and receive my Bachelors of Science in Accounting. This has been such a rough ride but I know it'll be worth it in the end. Having said that, I have serious senioritis right now. I just have no motivation whatsoever to do any schoolwork. That probably has to do with the fact that two of the classes I'm taking right now have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH MY DEGREE PROGRAM! It frustrates me so much that I'm required to take classes that I know will not benefit me in any way. For example, right now I am taking a Quantitative Methods class, Information Systems for Managers (an IT class) and Not-For-Profit Accounting. I am all good with the accounting class but why on Earth do I need and IT class???? It's hard for me to complete a class when I have no idea what's going on in the class. Anyways, vent over.
Lots going on right now. I am trying to really get my relationship with God back on track. With everything I have going on I know that I do not focus on Him as often as I should. I am really trying to trust Him and have Him help me through life right now. All I know is that I couldn't do everything I do without Him, my amazing husband and my family! They hold me together!!
