Uneedasee

Another five days of eating healthy and working out. This time I've really been hitting up my local community gym. Love how the equipment stands up to other high end gyms, so I can get a quality workout at a low price! When it comes to working out and toning up my body, I really like using weights for faster results. Yes some of you may be afraid to use weights because you're not trying to bulk up like a pro wrestler but neither am I. That's why I feel that it's very important to watch what you eat while doing certain kinds of workouts. I benefit from a lean meat, low sodium, good fats, very low carbohydrates, high in vitamins, vegetables and fruit kind of "diet". Don't get me wrong though, by no means am I a nutritionist or fitness instructor. I'm just showing and telling you the best "diet" and workout plan that has worked out for me in the past.

So these next five days seemed harder than I thought they would be. I started having less time to make a full breakfast so I started the smoothie era. Tried cooking my own spaghetti, which didn't turn out the way I would have hoped. Saw a little moment of me editing and putting up the first of Self Health September videos and blog post. Still working out at home either in the morning or after work, which I was working towards doing different workouts.

I've been wanting to get back in to shape for a while now but was one of those people that just would keep putting it off and making up lame excuses. I finally said the only way to get back in is by  starting off big by committing to do it for a whole month. So I started Self Health September, where every day I would workout and eat clean. When I started these first five days, my weight started off at 216 lbs where my body was always hurting, and feeling fatigued. I feel that loving who you are in your own body is very important, but how I was feeling in my body made me need to make a change. 

I'll admit it.  I'm cheap.  My dad thinks I'm "frugal".  You hear people say words like budget, frugal, tight, cheap, conserve, save, penny pinch.  I've found there are differences, though.  I'm more cheap than frugal.  Cheap is more about spending as little as possible while being frugal is about prioritizing what is spent so you can have more things you love.  So you can say that having a "budget" is part of frugality.  I don't have a budget.  Sure, I keep track when I pay expenses every month, but that is it.  There is no budgeting involved.  My desires and needs fluctuate day by day, week by week, so budgeting is out the window.
