Day 1

Welcome June 1st! New month. New me.

One of my friends joined a #30dayshreadchallenge which inspired me to join, too. I submitted a late join request, so I am still waiting to hear if I got in or not. But regardless, here I am ready to roll!

This morning started like any other morning. My alarm went off and I hit snooze ... for at least an hour. On 2 different devices.

Step 2 of my morning routine involves checking email and facebook. This particular morning, my friend who invited me to partake in this challenge, had posted a video. She posted in an hour ago and exuded such excitement and determination that it motivated me to get up and get going.

First thing first, I grabbed the half bottle of cola in my fridge (that regrettably, I have been addicted to once again), and instead of drinking it, I was going to pour it down the drain. Unfortunately I could not get it open. So I just set it on the counter.

Onward to the next great thing! Floor exercises and stretches.

- 10 push ups
- 10 sit ups
- 10 bridges
- 10 leg lifts
- 10 side to side exercises that I have no idea what they are actually called.
- 35 second plank

My puppy was a great partner. She made sure I had some "necessary" resistance and weird movements as she chomped on my hair, and crawled under me, and licked my skin.

Seeing that I am training for a half marathon, I have been doing some running and walking. I was up to 3 miles, but recently I have been encontering some pain severe enough that I have been pressed to make 2 miles. I hit the trail, and managed 1.10 miles today. Better than nothing, not quite the mileage I was looking for.

This weeks goal: buy more herbalife product and buy new running shoes.

What are my goals of this challenge? They go beyond just fitness. I want my mind to be renewed. June is more than just a body reset. I want it to be a lifestyle reset.
