Back from vacation and back to blogging! I've come up with a few ideas for this little blog and I definitely plan on posting more.
I'm hitting the gym hard...and still trying to reign in the diet from being in vacation mode, but all in all doing well. A few progress pics.

There are so many wonderful resources available for health inspiration and information, most of which can easily be accessed on your cell phone. However, with so much information so accessible, it's sometimes difficult to determine what you should actually be putting into practice.
In no particular order, here are some of my favorites:
Apps
Jefit: I use this app all the time! It allows you to easily record workouts, find exercises, and even shows you an animated clip of how to properly perform the exercise.
My fitness Pal: This app allows you to easily count calories. It has nutritional info for restaurant meals as well as packaged foods too. I don't count calories all of the time, but I feel that if you are first starting to lose weight it's important to know exactly how each thing you place in your mouth is affecting your body. I also think it's good to do an "audit" day every once in a while to see how your daily habits are.
Instagram: [you can follow me on instagram @cassiepadgett]
Instagram is a great source of inspiration! I have found several great bloggers through instagram. It's also fun to see people's daily workouts and meals. Some of my favorite instagrammers are:
@efitmama, @laurengleisberg, @spoonfuloffit @muffintopless

This is an excellent resource for finding new workouts, nutrition info, and supplements.
And of course, Pinterest is great for finding recipes and inspiration!
I think it's so important to have health on your mind through out the day (not just during your workout). Pick a few resources to help you make small improvements in your life and you will see big changes!
Where do you go for health inspiration?
