Fitness Fridays… Baby Steps Equals Weight Loss (Who Knew?)
This is the fourth post in a series to focus on
Fitness Fridays! (More here…)
I’ve found some new fitness inspiration this week. I’m giving myself permission to take BABY STEPS. You see, I can’t run right now. I have some sort of injury which has caused me to lay off the running for awhile.
Instead I am focusing on three things:
- relaxation
- water consumption
- high concentration of vegetables & fruits
I’m shooting for 9 glasses of water per day, 60% of my diet from veggies & fruits and heavy doses of sleeping in and walking/meditating. I’m even taking an afternoon break from the office to go outside and walk around the block. It definitely clears my head. And I’ve been working on spending more time with God.
You know, it is amazing the progress that you can make when you give yourself permission to take it slow. My body is responding well, too. The bags are gone from under my eyes, I have a spring in my step and I even feel lighter. As a matter of fact, I’ve lost 2.8 pounds! Yippie!
Next week I will add weight training back into the mix along with more walking/cardio, water and veggies. I am hoping to report some good weight loss next week as well!

Small steps = best way to go. We’ve all seen too many people burn out from trying too much, too soon. Looking forward to following your successes

Thanks Matt! Yes, I am usually the one that burns out. That is why I am surprised at the success of my “baby steps” approach. Thanks for checking up on me. The more accountability, the better!
