Just Do It, Jenna!

I'm a 20-something year old Air Force wife who is just trying to be healthy. Easier said than done, am I right?! I also used to be a teacher.

Sometimes I emotionally support my dog because she is TERRIFIED of smoke alarms. But most of the time she emotionally supports me while I watch TV.

Goals

So in addition to the obvious health & fitness goals that I have for myself (drink more water, workout daily, eat cleaner), I have come up with some personal goals:

1. Read more - I used to love reading as I grew up and all throughout high school. I gradually got away from it as I went through college. I’m finally in a place where I feel like I have time for it during the week. There’s something so special about getting lost in a book <3

2. Learn how to knit - I felt like I needed a new hobby. And I’m tired of using “watching tv” or “online shopping” as hobbies :P plus, I feel like it’ll help me snack less if my hands are occupied as I watch tv!

3. Drink more tea - I’ve always really liked tea. We got a Keurig as a wedding present and I feel like since I don’t like coffee, tea could be my warm drink of choice :)

Anyway they’re pretty simple goals, but I just feel like they’ll help me mentally become more stable and healthy.

Reblogging this almost a year later to give an update, and set new goals for 2019!

Successful Goals from 2018 that I want to continue:

Being mindful of what I eat

Following a workout schedule (mostly)

Drinking low-calorie alcoholic beverages

Reading more (I read 15 books so far this year). I want to read at least 18 next year!

Staying consistent with my skincare routine - moisturizer, cleanser, night cream, removing makeup before bed.

I have no idea why I put tea as a goal. However, I did start drinking coffee lol.

New Goals for 2019:

DRINK MORE WATER!

Learn how to knit/crochet. I have all the supplies, and I do know the steps I just need to sit down and knit scarf after scarf to practice. I pretty much failed at this is 2018.

Journal (almost) every night. Just something quick to recap my day & wind down.

Find a bible study to get plugged into. They have a lot available online. And once we move I’d like to find a church to join.

Wash my hair less, and curl it on the second day so I curl it more often :)

So it basically boils down to 5 goals that I want to maintain from 2018, and 5 new goals that I want to achieve in 2019. :)

Stress Dreams

For the past few nights in a row, my old “teaching stress dreams” have returned about a room full of disobedient and inattentive students. No matter how calmy and firmly I explain directions or dish out consequences they NEVER listen. Then in my dream panic I resort to yelling like a madwoman (still with no result). Sometimes it’s at the end of the school day and the students refuse to leave the classroom and go home. Sometimes a principal walks in on the chaos for an unannounced observation.

I wake up feeling stressed and anxious about a job I don’t even have anymore. I guess I’m just thankful it’s only in my dreams now and not in my reality! 😅

Day 2 of posting like this! :) I’ll update throughout the day again.

BREAKFAST: Chocolate protein shake

WORKOUT: T25 Cardio & PiYo Core (only did about 2/3 of the PiYo video)

LUNCH: Leftover fried chicken #sorrynotsorry and I’m gonna be honest, dinner is probably going to be the same thing.

DINNER: Chinese garlic chicken meal (freaking delicious, but not healthy lol) - still using up things from the freezer.

I’m going to try something new today where I post throughout the day, but just update one post. Let’s see how this goes! Let me know what you think :) 

BREAKFAST: Chocolate protein shake 

WORKOUT: T25 Speed 1.0 & 21 Day Fix 10 Minute Abs - I had to modify some moves, not because I was tired but because I started to feel sharp pains in my lower back (thanks, air mattress).

LUNCH: Frozen CPK cheese pizza (not the healthiest, but I’m trying to use up what I have in the freezer).

DINNER: *oops* I got fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and a biscuit. No soda though!

Notes: I enjoyed posting in this format. I slipped up a bit by getting the chicken, but at least I’m holding myself accountable and still included it on this list. It felt great to start working out again!

Oh hi there

I keep meaning to post on here more and I’m going to do better, I swear.

Things have been pretty crazy lately with moving to a different state. I’ve been here in my new house for over a week now, and I’m still waiting on the movers to deliver our all of our furniture and boxes. 

Which means that I don’t have my weights like normal, so I’m not technically following any specific program at the moment. As soon as the things get delivered, I plan on jumping back into 21 Day Fix/21DFX. For now, I’m sticking to programs that don’t require weights (T25 & PiYo). I’m heavily considering doing 2 workouts per day to make up for all this lost time! I’m going to give it a go today and see how I feel about it. Sleeping on an air mattress for 8 nights is killing my back, so who knows.

Day 3/21

I’m following the 21 Day Fix Extreme calendar pretty closely, but it’s not perfect. Today I subbed in the regular 21DF Pilates workout instead of the extreme version. I realized that the extreme Pilates uses a B-lined resistance band for everything, and I don’t have one of those lol :) I only have the other kind of resistance band.

But yeah I just wanted to post a quick update that yes, I’m still with it! I
