Preparing for Drum Corps- Colorguard Edition

Image
          With the past and upcoming tryouts for the 2019 drum corps season in motion, I thought this post would be a great one that most of my friends could relate to. Preparing pre tour for drum corps is essential for a better experience with your corps, in my opinion, not everyone thinks so, but I bet you will after this post.                     When I say preparing I mean very specific things, not just raising money or gathering items for tour, or even the infamous packing for tour. What I mean is preparing your body, preparing your skills and most importantly preparing your mind. One of the top reasons members leave within the first few weeks of tour, besides injuries, is mental stability. And that is totally okay, never feel like if that has happened to you that it was the wrong decision because you need to take care of your body and ...

A journey in 66 days

Starting my journey....

Journey; noun; an act of traveling from one place to another.

Is my journey considered a journey?

What is my journey?



My 'journey' is how I am restarting my fitness lifestyle. In 2016, I had a lot of built up anger towards a lot of people and I did not like that. After doing a lot of research I figured going to the gym would help relieve a lot of that stress... and it did and bonus I lost 33 lbs. I started January 2017 after a very miserable Christmas in 2016. I did it for a complete year and during Christmas of 2017 I was so happy with who I was with that the gym and eating healthy slipped out of my grasp. Once back to school in 2018 for spring semester, school, work, and attempting to move to a different state took over and my healthy lifestyle never saw daylight again... until now. Now I am back. No excuses. I have had my time to settle in to my new life and now it is time to get my life together. I feel motivated... maybe even more motivated than when I first started. I am so excited to go to the gym everyday, I run races now... eating healthy is still slacking but we are taking baby steps this time in order to maintain a sustainable lifestyle. I do not want to feel like I can't live my healthy lifestyle and be happy at the same time because you can do both.

I feel like my journey fits the definition because I am traveling from one mindset to another. It is a journey and journeys take time. Remember, if you speed and you get pulled over, you might be more late than you would have been had just you went the speed limit.

I sort of started my YouTube so that I can be able to document my journey in hopes of it motivating me even more.

Be ready to see a lot of motivating fitness content coming to my blog and my YouTube channel. See daily updates on my fitness Instagram @tinker_toned.fitness, I try to post every day. I am currently participating in the #gymshark66 challenge. See my COMPLETE fitness plan I am utilizing for the next 66 days, I also include my current weight and measurements and I will make another update video half way and at the end to compare. In the video I include how I am eating, my workout split, goals, and favorite equipment! That should be posted today after this blog post is posted, hopefully. I have had to re-film because I wasn't happy with the quality of content in it! So we will see!!


In the next 66 days I will:

-workout five days a week
-drink a lot of water
-run three times a week
-no cheat meal
-no snacking
-whole foods

66 days on my journey, 66 days to get there, I can do it. You can do it. We can do it.

VoxBox Review from Influenster!

Image
Hey Guys and Gals, Today I wanted to make a post/review of something I recently have joined in on doing and wanted to give my thoughts on if it was real or worth it.  Recently I joined the influenster app. if you do not know what that is, I will explain briefly. Basically, what it is, is an online platform in the form of an app where you compile all of your followings from almost any social media app or website you can think of. Your goal is to get a high impact score, because with a high impact score comes the opportunity to review full sized products for influenster. Companies send products as advertisements to influenster and influenster chooses social media users to review those products, good or bad. Now, if you are thinking I do not have many followers, so I couldn't possible get on board, well neither did I / Do i. I think within all of my social medias added together I only have barley over 1000 followers. They key here is to participate in the reviews on the app from...

Being an Introvert

I have come to the realization that being an introvert does not mean you have to stay that way. With that being said, I do not think that you can ever fully become an extrovert if you were born an introvert, and here is why.... This past weekend I experience a couple of first in my life. Being a 20 year old college student, this may surprise you. I have never been to a party, and I also have never been to a bar/club (this one may not be so surprising since I am under 21). I experienced both of said things this past weekend. When I was first talked into going to these two things I was very adamant that I was not going to have a good time and that I would be miserable. I had already made my mind up. There was going to be partying and alcohol and as an introvert both of those things were a no go on my list of things Id love to spend my weekend doing. But I did need to learn how to have fun. Just because there's a party, does not mean you have to drink at it, and hopefully...

Becoming More Positive

Becoming More Positive This post is sort of an add on series to my last post "Personal Growth". If you have not read that one, I suggest reading that one first. Becoming more positive about life, especially when it doesn't seem to be in your favor is part of personally growing. When you have finally mastered being able to be positive about every aspect in your life, then that's growth on growth on growth in itself. We all know I am a psychology freak, so I am assuming some were soon enough expecting another psychology post, well here it is. Today I am citing on the words of psychologist Shawn Anchor who did a ted talk on "The Happy Secrete to Better Work". In this video he talks mainly of how to retrain your brain to think happy and be happy. He states that 90% of our happiness is how our brain processes things. So basically, lets say I gave someone, a lucky penny, it has a little dirt and grime on it because its an old penny, but in my mind its st...
