Fitness Countdown - Day 40

My yearly fitness goal has changed over the course of the last few months.
At first,
I just wanted to get outside and let my mind wander while I walked,
jogged, ran, biked and hiked.  
More mental fitness than physical.

Now I'd like to actually lose some weight too!

It's not that I eat a lot of junk, I just eat too much.
Black beans, avocados, homemade corn tortillas -
seriously, I could eat that all day long.

As I said HERE, I'm no longer combining all of my goals in one post.
From here on out, Fitness Goals will be a Saturday post.


My dog and I went on a 5.5 mile walk in the wash yesterday.

So why is the title "Fitness Countdown - Day 40"?

You know when there's something special coming up?
Like a reunion, wedding, vacation...
Yup, I'm going on vacation.
My Mom, myself and my daughter are going to Hawaii for a GIRLS TRIP!
We've been talking about this trip for years and it's finally the right time.

I'd really like to lose 10-12 lbs before we go.
 Because I want to be done with the weight loss BEFORE we go,
I'm starting this goal a bit early.


We've seen coyotes and javelina here.

If you'd like to join me on this quick 40 day goal, that'd be so awesome.
Write some of your tips/tricks,
leave a blog link or tell me about your progress in the comments.
Oooooh, music suggestions, any faves for workouts?

I'm keeping track of food and exercise over on MyFitnessPal.
It's free and easy to use. If you join, totally add me as a friend!

It's a fun way to encourage each other.
(I'm in no way affiliated with myfitnesspal, I just like the site.)


Someone living on the wash has a wall of yellow flowers...and wasps.
The buzzing was unbelievable. At first I thought it was a plane!
 
So that's the plan.
40 days.
10-12 lbs to lose.
Healthy (low calorie) diet, extra exercise and a bit of torture.
Blogging my progress weekly.
Who's with me?


This is torture.
