New Beginnings - Starting Today

Well, my blog has changed. I have given it a make-over.

I have a new title: Gulfside Gal Finding Fitspiration

Amy helped me come up with that (although I still think "Princess of Plump" has a nice ring to it!)

I have also reformatted my blog to [hopefully] fit my uploaded images nicely.



Please, follow my new Instagram feed:

GG_Finding.Fitspiration

Also, keep checking back as a Facebook page is in the works! :-)


Now, for a small tidbit about my "new" blog...

I will be using different hashtags to keep my Blog and Instagram feeds consistent.

My personal ones I will use are
#ggff
#ggfindingfitspo
#ggfindingfitspiration
#gulfsidegal

You may follow along and use them as well, and I may re-post some pictures! Also, if you happen to be on a journey like me and are living on the Gulf Side of Florida, use the email me function on the right ---> to shoot me an email, I may just want to buddy up and buddy-blog with you!

I will also use Hashtag Headers to announce certain features on certain days of the week. They will be random and I may not do each header each week, but be on the lookout for my new blog prompts:

-MPM- Meal Plan Monday: new recipes, meal plan tips/tricks I have used, and my personal food accomplishments

-TWI- Tuesday Weigh In: record weight, photos, measurements, etc...

-FIFF- Friday is for FITNESS: fitness tips, focus body parts for the weekend, new classes or workouts I try

-TLT- The Latest Thing: something new and exciting to share whenever!

-GGIA- Gulfside Gal In Action: action shots of outdoor fitness activities! (I'm hoping to use this one more as the weather "cools down")

I also want to say thank you to the few who read this. I know I'm not changing anyone's life, but it feels nice knowing someone reads this, even if I do get a bit whiney! :-P

That's all for now. I'm preparing to go to sleep soon so I can wake up and make tomorrow a good day!

1/3 the Way There, #TLT

Well, Amy and I are trying to hit 10k steps per day!

This is just a quick update to see how I am getting along. I had a few days with very little steps in them, so I know I'm down, but I'm just now calculating how far down I am.

Here's my first 10 days in visual form....

So, 10 days x 10,000 steps per day = 100,000 steps.

As you can see, I only have 72,336 in so far.

That means I'm 27,664 steps in the hole!! :(

If I want to hit 300,000 steps at the end of April, I'll need to tack on another 1,384 steps each day to hit my goal.

Here are my thoughts, in no particular order:

• CRAP CRAP CRAP!!!
• Well, I'm taking my nephew to Disney on Tuesday, so I will rack up plenty of steps there!
• I am re-committing to my fitness this week, and I will log some workouts in lieu of steps. (To be fair, if 2,000 steps = 1 mile (-ish), and it takes me about 20:00 to walk 1 mile at an average [not too fast, not too slow] pace, then for every 10:00 of true fitness effort, I will log 1,000 steps.
• I will hit my Step Goal for April!!!
• I'm tired, and am going to bed
• The book I'm reading is okay, but not the author's best work
• I need to get Amy my work schedule for this week.
• ..... Oh crap, I don't know my work schedule this week! I hope I open tomorrow and am not getting up at 4:00am for nothing!! :-\
• I need to plan out my homework for the week so I'm not stuck doing it over the weekend.
• I need to see if any of my classes have released their finals study guides
• I'm still full from lunch from 2:00pm today!! I'll never eat this much again!! :-X
•  This is too many thoughts!! I'm going to bed!

Anyway, goodnight all!
