The last few days leading up to and after Christmas were very relaxing. I visited Santa and sat on his lap for the first time in my life. Yes, I am 20 years old, but everyone has to sit on his lap at some point, it's a right of passage, right? Other than a brief bout of Raynaud Phenomenon(I'll explain in detail later) it was a lovely day. (I asked Santa for good grades...he made no promises). Today, Erin and I tried out a couple of her awesome ab routines from her new workout book. Any ab strength I thought existed prior to today was only in my dreams. There may have been some swearing in between sets and really...I could not even complete a full set. I have a long journey ahead of me to complete my V sits goal, but it will be accomplished!
My goal last week was to eat more mindfully, it was a semi success. I always asked my self if I was hungry before I took a bite, regardless of the answer I usually continued to eat. It's a step in the right direction; this week I'll focus on not eating when I'm not hungry. I need to step away from boredom eating. If the pattern continues during school my bikini bod will not be rockin'.
Health Trivia!
If you are curious as to what Raynaud's Phenonmenon...it is when primarily either the fingers or toes become discolored, either white/blue due to extreme temperatures, mainly the cold. The blood vessels spasm and diminish blood supply to those tissues. The area will normally become numb. It is reversed when warm water or heat is applied to the area. It can either be in addition to a preexisting condition, or like me, just occur on its own. This is it in a nutshell. Feel free to read more on the phenomenon! Interesting stuff, yah?
