Finally. I Could be BACK.

Happy Sunday Kittens and I must grovel. I have sinned as a blogger but - I think you'll see in my vlog below, I explain a wee bit about how OVERWHELMINGLY SWAMPED the past week has been. I've been working until 1am so many nights, I can't count. It's just life in start-up land when you have a start-up that is exploding like my baby, FitFluential, you just kinda ROLL WITH IT and be grateful, knowing that someday soon...you will get some sleep. 

Here is the said Ramble-On-A-Thon:

As I mentioned in the vlog, I leave for NYC with my Fitfluential crew on Thursday, back on Monday afternoon. And then it's Christmas right? And then I have to freaking MOVE!! Hello!! I was so not ready to move in December and what a gargantuan PITA!!! 

A lot of you have been asking about my physical therapy progress. I am probably the most impatient person on the planet and thus, hearing that it will probably take 3 full months of strengthening kind of pissed me off. What are ya gonna do? Keep at it. She's working hard on strengthening my upper back because all the time that I've been injured I wasn't working my back, and then when I DID go back to do UPPER BODY work, what did I do? Shoulders- with HEAVY WEIGHTS and likely poor form, because I was rushing.

Do you see how important 1) correct form is and 2) not rushing? I've learned enough lessons this year to make me shutup and slow down in 2012. I'm just SAYING.

How has your December been thus far? Now it's time to be back at it. I did conquer a mountain of urgent work the past week so I can really do what I said and PUT MYSELF FIRST, put my health and wellbeing first. That means, working on my START NOW goals. 

They are:

• Drink more water daily. Use my Brita pitcher at home and chug from my bottle on the road. 
• 5-6 Meals throughout the day. No more 1-2 meals a day at 9am and 10pm. BALONEY. 
• Protein at every meal. I've been crappy on protein. I'll be in GNC a LOT. (#client)
• Workouts 6x a week. Period. Consistency.
• Sleep. Get enough. 
• Make time for ME. Make time for down time--time to enjoy life, not just work all the time. 
• Overall Healthy Focus: Vitamins, Supplements. I used to religously take my vitamins and supplements. I stopped because a moron doctor told me to when he couldn't figure out I had started perimenopause....he thought my vitamins were making my skin freak out. #fail. I'm adding back in GNC Vita-Paks (takes away the hassle of figuring it out each morning, let's be honest), Fish Oil, Glutamine, Glucosamine, L-Carnitine, etc. I'll do a detailed post later. 

Question: What are your goals that you want to START NOW on, and focus on in the new year?? What didn't you accomplish this year, and what will you change to make it happen in the new year?

“I must grovel. I have sinned as a blogger”
Kelly, don’t grovel. Don’t apologize. And give yourself a break whenever your body and/or mind need it. And don’t talk back! OK?

Fitness related goals that I want to focus on now and in 2012?
– more balance (more variety)
– more patience
– more consistency
– more body flexibility
– increasing my strength and power without gaining bodyweight (and also without losing bodyweight). I guess you might disagree with this one, but I’ve been shooting for as high a power-to-weight ratio as possible, not for big muscles.
– more reading. Because, as you say from time to time, knowledge is power.

OK Martin!! ;-) and I don't disagree with your goals at all. I need do more reading too....get away from work.
