I worked out super hard again this week.  I'm loving the step classes that I've been taking.  They are hard core and I am so sore after them.  I love that feeling...the feeling that I know I worked hard.

My goal over the next few weeks is to try to really watch my sodium intake.  I'm not a big fan of adding salt and pepper to my food anyways, but I know that a lot of the food that I eat has a lot of salt already added.  I mean, what doesn't have salt?  Everything does!

That's the problem.

 I'm also going to try to cut back on my coke zero's.  I've gotten to where I'm craving water more and more, but when I eat, I need flavored drinks.  I'm going to try to do lemon water.   I guess that's about it for this week.Happy Sunday lovelies.  I'm pumped about the time change.  I wasn't happy about losing an hour, but I love that it stays light outside longer.XoXo 

Week 7 and 8 Recap

 {Week 7}Weekly Average958Daily Goal1200 {Week 8}Weekly Average599.5Daily Goal1200 Well friends, I think I am making the switch.  As much as I love my beloved Zumba classes at Snap, I love the calories that I'm burning at Gold's more.  I will probably still try to take some Zumba classes every once in a while at Snap, but for now I think that Gold's Gym is a better fit for me and what I'm looking for. I was sore every day this week and I'm still kind of sore today...I love that feeling.  It makes me feel like I worked hard and I am hoping that I will see results even faster.  I'm still idoling the same weight that I was when I started this whole journey, but I feel so much better which is what really matters.  I try not to focus to much on the number on the scale and I am by no means obsessed with weighing myself.  I will weigh myself maybe once a week, but I do what matters most to me is how much better I feel. I am still going strong with my New Year's "Resolutions"/lifestyle changes.{Eating}Since January, I have eaten fast food maybe a handful of times.  Disclaimer.  I DO NOT consider Chick-Fil-A fast food.The last time I had fast food was in Nashville the weekened of my birthday...over a month ago.This is huge for me...I used to eat fast food 5 or more times a week....so not good for you. {Bible}I'm still listening to my daily audio bible app daily.  It's such a great way to start my morning.I really never even listen to music (in the car) anymore.  I commute 30 minutes to and from work each day and that is usually just enough time for me to get in my "reading" for each day. {Be a better person}This is something that I strive for on a daily basis.  Sometimes I get so caught up in my own life that I forget to reach out to my loved ones.  I spent a  lot of time this weekend with my family.  I adore my nieces and nephews...they are the most amazing kids, but I don't spend nearly enough time with them.  I don't want to take for granted the time of their lives when they think that Aunt Steph is the coolest person to ever live. When I lived in New York/The Bahamas, all I wanted was to be close to my family and to be able to see my nieces and nephews whenever I wanted...now that I can, I don't take full advantage of it.  Let's all make a conscious effort to reach out to our loved ones this week.A phone call rather than a text.A letter rather than an email.Tell them how much you love and appreciate them! Ok that was my soapbox for the day. It's gorgeous outside so I'm going to soak it up.Happy Sunday!XoXo
