Really putting forth the effort now. After a testing appointment with my doctor yesterday - I've come to realize I'm getting older and need to focus on eating right, maintaining good physical health & mental health.

Between all of these things - YES they are time consuming but you HAVE to make the effort so you can progress. I really enjoyed tonight because I was able to focus on some really important things in my life: wellness, my relationship, me time and really trying to find my overall happiness. This was found through: me time - Target run and writting a hand written note, wellness: Dan & Christy workout - FUN!, conversation and relaxing time together including going out on a dinner date and catching up on our favorite shows. WONDERFUL.

Double Unders & Full Range Situps

Breakfast: strawberry, blueberry, cashew protein shake
Lunch: 2oz chicken breast, 1/4 hummus, bell peppers
