Hey Lovelies!

It’s a new year and for me that means new goals and of course new challenges. I have not been to the gym in almost three weeks which is a very big thing for me and I miss it SO much. I have been exercising but it’s not the same without my gym. I have improved a lot in the past year but one of the hardest exercises for me is plank. I don’t like it, I’m not that great at it and if I can I tend to avoid it unless I’m forced to do it by my PT. So, this being the case I have decided to take on the first challenge of the year and it’s going to be the plank challenge. I have created a little progress and exercise schedule for plank. My goal is to be able to do plank, on an angle for 4 minutes or maybe a little more at the end of the month. Every day I will practice and try to stay in plank a little longer. Let’s see how it goes but my hopes are high.

This is not going to be my only challenge this year when it comes to being and staying fit. I’m planning on running a half marathon and I’m also planning on competing in the Spartan Race. Yes, that’s quite a bit I have taken on but I’m pretty sure that once I set my mind to it I’ll be able to do it. I just have to train hard and eat right. Oh yeah, and have the right frame of mind. Anything is possible as long as you want it and you are dedicated to your goals. Some of my friends often tell me that I train too much and that I should relax a little. Sometimes I think they are right but then I think again and realize that I have to do what makes me feel good and happy. In this case it’s training. I need to train 6 days a week to feel satisfied and release and receive that extra energy that I get from training. I’ve had a small break from intense working out not but on Monday it’s back to business no matter what.

Although it might be snowing and raining in most parts of the world right now, bikini season is coming up. And it’s going to come fast. One might think there is still several months left till we strip down and jump in the pool but you’ll be surprised how fast the months and weeks will pass. And remember lovelies one does not get a great body over night. It takes a lot of effort , motivation and training to get a great bikini body so you might as well start in time. That’s what I’m doing anyways. I guess as much as this is a motivational post it’s more of a self-motivating post for me. I need to remind myself from time to time that all this hard work is worth it and how great it makes me feel.

Even though today is quite windy here in Spain and a little chilly the sun is shining strong so I’m going to try to get a little bit of a tan. Even a little bit is more than nothing…see ya later Lovelies!
