It's a beautiful day! ☼

I wouldn't normally make this kind of fashion faux pas, but it was just too beautiful to stay inside.

Confession:

I'm not a graceful exerciser. Typically, if I do any form of workout I'm drenched afterwards (and no, it can't pass for sparkle!) and who wants to go back to their desk to work the remainder of the day like that? I now keep an extra pair of sneakers at the office (I stole this idea from a co-worker!) and they just sit there until I do something with them. My theory, a short walk is better than no walk.

(Day 1) May Goals!

May Fitness Photo Challenge!

 Fitness Photo Challenge? Yes, please!

There's nothing like social media to keep one motivated on the journey of healthy living! And right now I could use more accountability. Why? I'm just 2 weeks away from finishing my #C25K program, I'm a third of the way through the #30daysquatchallenge (my legs are still shaking!), and bottom line... It's good for my overall health to roll out of bed in the wee hours of the morning and get a sweat on!

So... Thank you, www.cardioconfessions.com for posting the challenge from @commit_to_get_fit on Instagram. I look forward to accepting this challenge and being accountable to all of you who keep tabs on me!

#30daysquatchallenge

Confession:
Up until now, I've only noticed a small improvement in the amount of squats I could do consecutively. Each set felt exhausting. But today, I managed to push past the hurt and grunted my way through all 105 squats. (no breaks!) My legs are still shaking! ツ
