Confession: Recouping has caused me to revert to my 6 year old self. I have been craving all my childhood comforts while I have been home. Kraft dinner, chicken fingers, Koolaid Jammers, chips - you name it! If there is a treat that makes you think of a simpler time then I probably ate it while lying around like a slug on the couch. Blah!
Fact: Serious athletes fuel their bodies, not their emotions
I need to start training like a serious athlete. Marathons are not for the faint of heart or the ho-hum runner, so this year it is going to be all about focus, determination, and no excuses. This year I have nothing to hold me back. I got new boobs and a new box-heart! Its time to break these babies in!
I have decided to dub 2012 my
"Body Evolution" (ha! get it? Evolution? Darwin?...you get it.)
1. Eating Clean (aka no more nostalgic trips down memory lane. Just healthy whole foods for this gal)2. Run 3x a week
3. Strength Train 3x a week
And this time around I am kind of hoping you will join me?! Starting next week I am going to be taking the plunge into vlogging and sharing my strength training circuit with all of you. I will post a new routine every 3 weeks that will target a different part of the body and will increase in difficulty. The plan is the strengthen those muscles, increase our metabolism, and get into rockin shape! (*note: just in time for bikini season*). You know you wanna join me!
So if you are up for challenge come on over to our BRAND NEW FACEBOOK PAGE (Yay! Cheers! Confetti! Sparkles!) and like us! And leave a comment letting me know your body evolution goals and you will be entered to win our Sparkly Soul and NeoCell Giveaway for the month of May!
It is time to Live Strong and Sparkle! So let's get going!
Love your Favourite Darwinian Fail,
Krysten

ReplyDeleteHa! Oh, Darwin...
ReplyDeleteSeriously though - looking forward to your videos!
Awesome! Can't wait to see it & watch you evolve into an even more inspiring person! You just get better every day. Have fun! Enjoy your journey! :) (:
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to it- hopefully it will help me accomplish my BIG goal of doing my first full marathon, and the slightly smaller goal of doing Tough Mudder #2 and #3. I know from last year I need more upper body endurance so i can complete those dang monkey bars at the end this year!
ReplyDeleteI hope you share some clean eating, too. Just found out I have a "dysfunctional" gallbladder that will have to come out eventually. No more bacon binges for me.
Woohoo! Those are great goals! I have going to start sharing weekly recipes on Wednesdays. And I will definitely focus on some upper body workouts when my own upper body finishes healing :)
DeleteGreat plan K! I am with you all the way.

ReplyDeleteSO excited for you! I shared your post with my twitter friends! Let me know if you want to talk training!!
DeleteYou're such a sweetie. I love your positive energy. If it makes you feel any better, I ate three Twinkies for breakfast. No bueno ;) Here's to clean (or cleaner) eating.
