Shaun T is Trying to Kill Me

    It is day 6 of the New Year and day 2 of my T25 challenge and I have come to the conclusion that Shaun T is trying to kill me. The good news being that I am doing a good job at trying hard with my New Year resolutions. My poor little (ha!) legs are super sore and I have only done 2 of the T25 workouts so far. I'm aiming to stick with the five week Alpha schedule and if I feel the way I do now I'm sure there will be great rewards at the end of the five weeks... if I can stop eating all the Reese's. Reese's are my guilty pleasure and since there are a bunch in the house I tend to eat, well, quite a bunch. I need to fix that asap!

    To help make better health choices when it comes to food I bought two new cookbooks. So far I have made three recipes out of one and they turned out amazing! So yummy! I did not take any pictures so unfortunately I have nothing to prove my work but trust me it was amazing! I want to share the recipes with you however I am waiting for the one cookbook to come in the mail. You see I went to Barnes and Noble in search of these cookbooks I found online. They were in stock but I noticed they were much cheaper on their website so I took some pictures with my phone of some recipes, went shopping, and made the dinners. The pictures of the recipes I took are a bit hard to see so I will wait till I have the cookbooks to share all the delicious details.

    I also bought The Body Book by Cameron Diaz, also waiting for that to come. I have heard some really good things about the book and hope that it will be helpful in keeping my body well and at peace. My top priority this year is a healthier body. Not so much focusing on a huge weight loss but just healthy. More active life and healthier food options are my plan for reaching this goal. Of course at the end of the goal you want a reward, right? Besides feeling great and perhaps looking better my reward to myself IF I stick to the five week plan for T25 is a new pair of shoes. I am not going to buy any shoes unless absolutely necessary till the five weeks. If I feel I did really well then perhaps I'll splurge on the shoes. A reward for eating healthier has not been determined nor has a timeline.

   Hope you are sticking to your resolutions as well! Don't be that person who gives up first! I'm usually that one but not this year. Time for a change! Time to get shit done.
