It's time to set some goals.

I have never been good at reaching my goals and the reason for that is plain and simple.

YOU ACTUALLY NEED SOME!

That's right. I have been happy my whole life just rollin' with the flow.

Keeping it simple.

Since starting my whole "Get Healthy" thing, there are times where I'm so damn sore I really do NOT want to go to CrossFit. I want to eat a piece of cheese followed by a milkshake but that's not allowed on a Paleo Diet.

So I think to myself why am I actually doing this to myself? Why won't I just give in? 

This is why.

Because I have a few goals set now!

-My kids. I want to live forever and see them grow.

-I want to be happy when I look in the mirror. For 3 seasons out of the year I live in a bikini. I'm only 27 I will not put myself in a one piece! I have never thought I looked good in a two piece but I still wear one. I'm not getting any younger and I want to look GOOOOOOOD!

-I want to run a 5k. Seriously, running has always looked fun to me. To actually go out and run.... ummm... not so much. After finding out about The Color Run, I am all over that like a fat kid eating cake!

Watch this video and tell me how amazingly fun it looks.

It doesn't take much, just a few simple goals to keep your self motivated!

Getting motivated (work out addition)

I have to admit I am super lazy... or was super lazy.... buuuuut

Now that I am finally getting into a work out routine, I find that music is my biggest "pick me up". I can hear a song and want to get up and go for a run or to the gym.

{Ha!} I can hardly believe that I even just said that!! But it's true I actually want to run or get to CrossFit. 

Some people want to hear some dancy sorta pop music, me? I want hard rock. I find that something a little hard core makes me act hard core and with that my friends, I push myself a lot harder! A little Three Days Grace or Rise Against is perfect.

What type of music is on your workout playlist?

Working out and how I am doing it

Last week I got on a health kick. But this time I'm staying on it!

I found a gym 10 minutes from my house that does Cross Fit. I wasn't sure what that was really but after youtube{ing} some videos I knew it was my kinda work out. No sissy classes, just full on boot camp style workouts. Tonight was my 2nd class and I'm lovin' it! The work outs are very basic. You do squats, sit ups, run, climb ropes, lift stuff... that sorta thing. But they are hard when you put them all together and don't stop. Everyone pushes each other to keep going and not to give up. Each of your work outs are timed, you may be done working out in 10 minutes or it may be a hour. It's up to you and how hard your willing to push your self.

After reading more about this Cross Fit stuff I noticed how a lot of the people doing it are also on the Paleo diet. I am not one to "diet" but this one makes so much sense. It's basically, You eat what a cave man would have been able to eat. So meat, veggies, fruit, nuts, ect. No processed foods like crackers, milk, cheese, rice or bread. And not to mention eat it all organic. I started this diet last week and it's really not that hard to do. I can't always buy organic but I am trying. 

I really excited to get though this first week of basic classes and sign up for the long term. 

I saw this girls picture on Pinterest to and thought I would share it with you.
