Reaching My Goals

I just finished another week of kickboxing. WOW. I've lost 5 solid lbs. When I fluctuate with water, that's how I know I've lost. That's very encouraging. I'm gonna keep going. My food selection has improved drastically. I am eating steamed vegetables, natural juices, home made smoothies, quinoa, brown rice, baked fish, fruit. This is amazing. I'm starting to understand how exercise and diet go right together. I'm noticing I don't even have to try so hard to think about eating healthy after exercise. It goes hand in hand. It's like my body craves the good stuff as if it were premium gas for an engine. I'm running efficiently and I definitely am more energetic after working out. It's like I can't sit down. It's regulated my sleep too. I'm tired come 9 PM. Ready to crash.

Now if I can just stop drinking water before bedtime so I'm not waking up in the middle of the night to pee. I hate that. I need 6 solid hours of undisturbed sleep to feel great the next day!

I'm loving this. Kickboxing is awesome. My instructors were all military affiliated or boxers. Their workouts are no joke! I have a hard time keeping up. My goal is to keep up. I'm giving myself a 6 month time line.
