I am new to this whole blog experience so please bear with me. I will eventually get the hang of it and hopefully make my blog better as I go. My name is Heather Hayden. I am a single mother just trying to make ends meet. I mainly wanted to start this blog to help motivate me to stay on track with my fitness. I also hope to help motivate others along the way. I really hope to start getting some people who want to follow along with me. I am going to be posting my workouts each day and my meal plans. I also want to post little tips that help me. I am a new mom so the struggle I have is getting back to my original size before the baby. I know I will probably never be that size again but hopefully in time I can at least have a more toned body and a healthier one as well. Health is very important to me. I am going to try not to bore you with all the details about me and my life. I am just going to get right into my fitness routine and explain what it is that I am actually doing each day. Okay...so my main goal is to exercise daily and eat better. If I lose weight along the way, then great! I really hope to motivate others to do the same. I have been through a lot recently and I am just learning to love myself. I think that loving yourself is very important. Also, to be positive and to have a plan in place. I am on a very tight budget so I am going to be posting meals that are healthy and that can be also very cost effective. You can always add and change things to your preferences. I am hoping to figure out how to set up a video of my workouts so that people can follow along if they wish. Note that I am starting from doing absolutely nothing every day and jumping into this slowly so I am not going to be going hard with this right away. I am going to be doing different workouts to see which ones I like best and I am definitely open to any and all suggestions. Also any questions you have I would love to answer. Even if I only get one person to follow me, that would be amazing. I just want to be able to help and support others to want a healthier lifestyle. So I am going to be planning everything out today and later I will post on what exactly the plan will be. If I can take a video of my workout I definitely will. One tip that I would like to do is make a food diary. It helps me to see what I am eating daily and also how over time my diet is changing. I am going to be posting each morning what I am hoping to make that day for my meals and then I will make a post on the daily workout and lastly a post of how the meals went and hopefully pictures and other things to go along. I am hoping to go to the grocery store today to buy some things to make these meals. I will also let you know what I am getting and why.

Tip of the day: Make a sign that has an inspirational quote that applies to you and hang it on your mirror to see every morning. Here is mine:

I have no idea why it is sideways but this is a prime example of how new I am to all this. :)
It says, "You will never have this day again...so make it count" |
