Goal 4 this week!

Wowza!!! Spring is heeeereee!!! The weather is warming up (well when houston weather isn't having a bipolar episode)! This means it should be easier for me to get out of bed in the early morning to hit the gym before work. Key word here is "should" lol. It turns out that I'm not always as faithful to my workouts as I should be. Honestly, I believe my savior has been cooking my own meals & eating clean as much as possible. This past winter, there were many times when I made it to the gym maybe once a week, but of course I still ate often everyday LOL! Well, I'm deciding to challenge myself and turn things up a bit....ooow!!! Ooooh this would be a perfect time for a fitness challenge. Anyway, I like setting weekly goals for myself.

Goal 4 this week: NO MISSED WORKOUTS!!! 5 training days with 2 rest days! My goal is to build a bit more muscle/tone, increase overall strength and improve flexibility! I'm a weight room girl and thankfully I don't need a lot of cardio for my current goals. Getting back to my love for pilates as well. Oh yeah, I want popping Abs this summer so I gotta clean up my eating a touch =)
