So What's Next?

Yay, summerrrrrr!  Booooo, we have NO money.  And by no money, I mean we have fucking NO money until payday.  We have PLENTY of food in the house.  I just need to stretch it.  I can still make healthy meals....ish.
 

It is REAL, my friends.

Here is a website that I found.  You enter what you have in the pantry and it will give you recipes.  SHUT.  THE.  FUCK.  UP.  I am more excited about this than you can imagine. My Fridge Food

The challenge is over.  I didn't do well.  I got upset.  I had some margaritas.  I'm over it.  So now what?  THAT, my friends, is the question.

 I've just been here pondering where I want to go from here.  I didn't reach my goal of rock hard abs and I realized that abs take a lot more "diet" than I'm willing to give at this point.  I don't want abs more than I want say......salt.  I do not enjoy extreme dieting and I like my body enough to say....I'm OK with a little belly if I can have some salt and extra virgin olive oil....shit like that to make my food taste yummy.  I want to continue to be active, to be an athlete, but I also want to eat real food.  Let's face it, I'm NOT entering any fitness competitions and I'll never be a model....so I'm good!

So fitness goals?  I feel like I need some....
1.  Stay between 130-135lbs.  
(This is a good strong weight for me.  I'm sturdy here.  My clothing fits well and I stay in a healthy mindset.  Anything in the 120's and I start getting crazy with the numbers).

2.  Diversify my workouts without spending a ton of money.  
My gym is great but it is a very specific workout.  It is amazing for losing fat.  To retain muscle however, I need to do different things.  I have an EXTREME dislike for weights and the weight room.  As I'm not a fan of super ripped looking bods, lean or not, I don't feel this is the best option.  I truly can not choke down enough healthy food/calories to sustain muscle with constant cardio workouts.

3.  Continue to work on my confidence and inner happiness.  My focus needs to be on health and healthy living.  So.....yoga??  I mean, I'm not going to become some hippie dippie yoga freak who suddenly is a huggy, huggy with the world but maybe a little yoga and learning to focus my energy would be good.  Plus, I love me a yoga/dancer's body.  Lord knows I need help with my poor posture and I feel like yoga will help my back.

PROBLEM:  $$ and time.  I don't think yoga at home will be a good option because there are too many distractions here.  I can't get all zen when I notice that my house is a fucking sty.  I'll just end up cranky and want to beat the snot out of my family.
 

Pick up your piles of shit!

 So it's summer and I have nothing but time to reflect, workout, hang with my family, and work on my lesson plans for next year.  Life is good......even when you have no cash.  I'm going to cook more, try new recipes and get ready to rock Kindergarten at my new school.



A few thoughts....

I drop that shit like it's hot.

This is great advice!
