Taking it to the Next Level

I know it has been a while since I last wrote. I am going to try to write more. I just recently realized that I want to become an exercise instructor. I think this will help me to keep me accountable for my health. Once, I have a better idea what I am supposed to do. I am going to take the test. I am still working on getting that perfect body. I have decided that my ideal body can be created with the right foods. Also, with a bit of strength training, less than hour cardio, and HIIT (Tabata). Other factors that are important are sleep, sun and stress. 

I have tried the Paleo diet and liked it. I try to eat like most of the time. I have cheat meals occasionally. I try to eat CLEAN and stay away from breads. 

As far as exercise goes...I have always pushed myself. I am trying to lift heavier weights now. I tried spinning for the first time. Also, I ran a half marathon. I don't think I will ever do that again. My knees are still not the same. I will stick to the 5ks. 

I will try to do most of my cardio and HIIT outside. I have been much better this year about getting the right amount of sleep. Actually right now @ 9:12...I feel ready for bed. 

Stress though seems to be my biggest challenge. Yoga definitely helps for stress. I am thinking right now I may turn the extra room into a mediation/yoga room. Eventually, it will be a baby's room, but for now...why not?!:-) I know I am getting better at recognizing when I am stress and trying to talk myself out of it.
