Get Healthy Challenge

How many of you are starting a diet…again! I have done several different things throughout the years and they work, but I usually end up putting a few pounds back on over the year and then start over again in January! Sound familiar? Well, I have decided that I need to just eat healthy and not worry so much about a so-called diet. I found this challenge from Six Sisters Blog. I like this challenge because the things that you keep track of are: how much water you drink, your exercise, your fruits and vegetables, and you can only have sugar on one day out of the week! Just a sensible get healthy plan.

I have been working out lately. I was always tired and non motivated and I just decided that it was time to get going! I have always walked and swam but not really pushing myself. So I talked to a friend of mine, who is a trainer, and she agreed to work with me! She is killing me, but it is a good feeling! :)

She has me doing weights, biking, swimming, walking, and cross training. She got me started for a couple of weeks and started me going on the weights and biking, then she took off for two weeks to go be with her daughter in Hawaii, who just had a baby! Tough place to go to help out your daughter, right? But I am trying really hard to keep motivated and to build up my endurance while she is gone! One of the things that she gave me was this challenge to do a “Real People Ironman” I asked her if I could copy it and share it with you on my blog. She said that I needed to make it cute, so here is my version of a little bit cute:
