Day One
Comments (0) Lately I have been feeling tired, run down and kind of lazy. And in all honesty, I hate it. I do not want to come home from work every night and feel too tired to do anything. I want to have more energy in the evening.
So I have decided to make a lifestyle change and I cannot think of a better way to keep me motivated than through my blog. For a while I have been reading so many great blogs that all emphasize a healthy lifestyle and I know I can do it too. Plus I have wanted to change the format of my blog. I don’t want to solely blog about food and new recipes. Yes I love to cook, but I want to write about more variety.
Another driving force behind my healthy change is because (hopefully) within the next year or so I will be starting a family with my wonderful husband. I want to be in the best health I can be before we do make that decision to add one more to our family.
So today I figured would be a good day to start fresh. To get some exercise going, I started my first day of Jillian Micheal’s 30-Day Shred program. I woke up earlier than normal and pulled myself out of bed and completed day one of the shred. The workout is pretty tough for the level one. It combines strength training with some cardio and abs. I was out of breath more than once. But afterward, it felt really good to get some exercise in. I noticed I even had more energy today at work which is always appreciated!
For dinner, I enjoyed some leftovers and my newest addiction: sweet potatoes!
I love sweet potatoes cut up, sprinkled with garlic sea salt and a little olive oil. They taste amazing and I cannot get enough of them. I also enjoyed some fresh spinach for salad tonight.
So for my first day of healthy living/blogging, I’d have to say it was pretty successful! Keep an eye out for the new changes to Kimmy’s Kitchen!
