My Daily Goal

As I mentioned in my previous post, I began a daily goal last week to burn 500 or more calories every day. Today is my 8th day doing this goal and I must say how incredible I'm feeling. I wake up feeling refreshed and excited to start the day with a ToneItUp booty call workout whether it be a run or a video. A few girls have joined me in my goal and I couldn't be happier. This makes me so happy to know I've inspired others! If anyone would like to join in on this goal let me know on my Facebook page so we can all check in with each other!

So I'm dealing with the girl issues right now and it sucks but I'm not going to let it bring me down! I do NOT want it to interfere with my daily goal! I powered through my workouts yesterday and it's amazing how it instantly makes me feel energized. Yesterday I did the new ToneItUp Sunset workout and I LOVE it! It's a great workout and I really felt the burn! I also did two NTC workouts.

I'm excited to power through another day- who's with me!? :)

Sunday RUNday

Hey everyone!

I had a great night of sleep and woke up feeling refreshed! Love when that happens. I immediately thought of what my morning "booty call" workout was going to be and decided to go on a run. I have the Couch to 10k app on my iPhone and I love it. I did 'Week 2 Day 3' of the program today and really enjoyed it. My mom tagged along with me which made me happy! It was a foggy morning but it was nice and cool out. I wear a Polar FT4 watch which comes with a heart monitor so it tells me how many calories I'm burning and what my heart rate is. On my jog/walk I burned 375 calories and once I got back home I stretched then decided to do a 30 minute NTC (Nike Training Club-iPhone app) work out so I could reach my goal of burning over 500 calories a day! I chose the '30 minute Conditioning Corps' workout and loved it. I checked my Polar watch and I burned 272 calories doing that! I took it a little easy today since I've decided starting next week my rest days are going to be Sundays. Since I've started this daily goal of burning 500 or more calories a day, my workouts have really stepped it up and I love it. I need a rest day so my muscles can recover. I will probably do the ToneItUp 'Stretch and Release' video and a foam roller routine on my rest days. You can find the 'Stretch and Release' video here

I'm happy I finished my workouts and daily goal before the afternoon. It makes me feel energized for the rest of the day! Join me on my daily goal! Let me know on my twitter or Facebook if you are going to join me! It's so much fun. It is like a daily game to reach the "high score" of burning over 500 calories! Ha ha.

Now I'm off to the Atlanta Falcon's game with my family! I'm pretty excited.

RISE UP ATLANTA! Let's go Falcons! :)

Been Awhile..

Hey everyone!

I know it has been a long time since I've posted something on here. I've been kind of busy with school. Thanksgiving break is coming up though! I'm excited. I love spending time with family and eating yummy food. That brings me to a question that I have been getting lately. "How do I remain healthy on Thanksgiving?" and I always say enjoy the food and family time but always remember 'PORTION CONTROL'. Do not go overboard with the food! Sometimes our eyes are bigger than our stomachs. Also, enjoy talking with your family while you enjoy the food. Do not sit there and shovel the food in your mouth like you haven't eaten in months! Haha. What I'm saying is: don't eat fast! If you enjoy your company and eat slow your food will begin to settle and digest and you will become full faster. Which causes you to not eat more than you should! :)

I hope this helps!

I'm going to start blogging more and I will hopefully be getting a new camera soon so I can take better pictures of my meals, etc.

Love, Nicole
