Think About This.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

90 day challenge weigh in.

Today I embarked on a new fitness journey.  Lifetime Fitness' 90 day transformation challenge.  We calculated my body fat percentage and sat down to make a plan.  I was in the "normal" range for females my age and height with 25.1% body fat.  But, you know what?!  I don't ever want to be just "normal".  So, my goal is now to train my booty off for the next 3 months and get down to around 17%.  It's going to take a lot of consistency and commitment but I'm excited.  And a little nervous.  Right now I am planning on meeting with my trainer, Cord, every other week starting this Thursday and go from there.  Ideally, I would love to meet with him 1x per week but it gets pretty pricey.  My goal is to achieve a look like a fitness bikini model.  I like the overall look and shape they go for and they aren't big and bulky like body building models.  Here's an ideal picture for me.  Strong yet feminine:





My food today:
  
No breakfast (had to fast for the test)
10:20am- Mediterranean egg wrap w/ pico and a small herbal tea
1:20pm- Green smoothie w/ Kale, avocado, mango, protein powder, veggie powder, almond milk
4:20pm- Salad w/ 1 head romaine & lg  handful sugar snap peas, med bowl quinoa and kidney beans
6:30pm- large salad w/ grilled chicken, sugar snap peas, balsamic dressing (2Tbl), carrots

No workout today due to testing.

Tomorrow's plan:

Spin class 5:30-6:30am
Breakfast- oatmeal, egg whites, fruit
Heavy legs day 8:30-9:30am
