To do things.

 Been working on two full glasses of water per day. The glasses are 531 ml, so that puts me around a   liter of water per day.

I've noticed the small changes to myself.

The most important change is the changes to my appetite have become more noticeable.

Did a 2k run tonight, and man was that eye opening. Realized that I needed to work on being able,
 and waiting for the moment. Plus giving myself some room to rest. I would get a good pace and then find myself wanting to rest. At those moments I would the go to a quick walk. To be honest I felt like I was cheating, that I wasn't completely running. Why am I doing it now? I know that in order for me to get the most out of life, I need to put in some time to my health.  Which is something that I haven't done before. So now I'm making the time for them. I would have to say I would like to get back to biking, swimming and give a go at surfing. Surfing has been one of those secret things that I have always wanted to give a go at.

However, I started doing side-kicks with a stretch motion included this morning. It was a five minute workout, with a few stops in-between. Need to also get back to planking push-ups where it works my abs and core. An some situps too.

Today was good as the craving for sugar has been less and less. More whole fruits and nuts. Green veggies and such. Need to plan more meals that are balanced. Along with more protein bars. 

Though the real work is keeping this up for a lifetime. An improving on it.

Finding the right balance

There's I am going to do this and then there's the fire that makes you want to do this.

I am floating between the two extremes of feeling and motivation. Still getting in my 1 liter of water per day.

Yays for small mugs with the oz. information on the bottom.

Now that I am on my cycle I am wondering should I workout this week? Is this really helping?

Yes, I have noticed I have more energy and that I also have a limit to how much my body will put up with.

Still doing the 6 hours of sleep per night. Though it feels like I am not hitting R.E.M sleep each night.

Nor am I hitting it off with the routines. Like doing the planking lifts, works out my whole core.

Crunches not so much. Though I have gotten use to doing squats and frog squats.

Next on my list of things to try is the mountain climbers. Looks like wicked fun.

Though I may be rushing things. I want to plunge head long into hard workouts. My body is like, nope.

We are doing 15 minutes of exercise, not this 30 minutes you keep aiming for.

With that being said. Found an article for working on the perfect beach body within 21 days. I love how they mention that your real goal is to keep up the workouts for 21 days, creating a habit.

Well, I am off to get that water in me for the day.

Cheers.

Must be me

Update: The 3 hours of sleeping was not for me. to little sleep and I don't function as great as I should.

I found that I would get some rem sleep, but not enough for it to matter.

With the water, need to keep that cup near me at all times. I need to stick this out, as I need more of it.
With me being in my 30's now, I have to stay healthy and motivated. It a day to day battle.

Managed to get on a six hour sleep schedule that lets me get plenty of rem sleep, but doesn't leave me tired.
Messed up with going to bed early. So tonight wasn't a total failure.

With the exercising, it has been hit or miss. I feel like I need to make a workout that is fun to do, but doesn't leave me drained. The goal is to do 5 days a week of 30 minutes of working out. May have to go to old faithful and start walking again. Yays.

Though still stuck on finding the right time to exercise. Early mornings is a no go, though right before bed isn't too bad.

 Tried doing 5 minutes of crunches and my thighs are killing me. May have done to much too soon. Still need to get my hands on a bike. Really miss riding one.

As for what I think of me, finally sticking with this. I have mixed feelings about that. I am happy with me. but I want to be healthier than this. I know that I will not be skinny by any means.

Though I want to know what I will look like with out a giant waist. Or the rolls of fat and tummy fat.

Will update more as I go along.
