Sunday Vibes

By -
Those Sunday Vibes. I've got them. I slacked off in August. I went on vacation and stopped tracking. Then upon coming back from vacation, settling back in to the school routine I'm noticing that scale creep back up. I don't want that to happen so I need to get a hold of myself again and start tracking. It's just that simple. When I'm tracking (and following) what I'm eating, I do better. It really is a no brainer.  It of course there are a million reasons why I don't track. The biggest one is it keeps me in denial of how much I'm actually eating.

I also started back at weekly meetings today.  there was a special for a 3 month membership where it cost me just slightly more than what I pay to go once a month.  I like going to the meetings, I get a lot out of them.  The Sunday morning group I found is great.  So I'm paid up through December 1st.  We'll see how this goes.  I'm hoping that I don't fall into the same cycle as I did the first go round.

So my goals for this next week are fairly simple and attainable. Track everything, no matter if I "go over", as long as I track it all. I'm also going to stick to my goal of 10K steps a day, getting in a good walk after dropping the kids at school. Water. I must drink more water. My goal is 120oz per day. My vision is truly affected when I'm not drinking enough water. My floaters get really bad. I have a specialist appointment at the end of the month and I want to have that locked down before going so they don't try to medicate me.

Here's to a great week and please check out a recent post I made on my Facebook about a Step Challenge Group that I've decided to offer. It will begin on Sunday September 17th and end on Saturday September 23rd. If it works out, we'll keep it as an ongoing group where we can motivate each other to "move more" and hit those step goals.

Here's to a great week and meeting whatever goals you've set for yourself!
xoxo

10 Ways to Burn 200 Calories (*based on a 135lb woman)

By Anonymous -
Try these out and in case you couldn’t guess after reading….number 6 is my FAVORITE!! 1.        Get into the swing of things .   Take your stress out at the driving range.   Just 62 minutes at the driving range burns those calories away.   Ready to take on 9 or 18 holes…skip the cart and walk.   You’ll burn 50% more calories per minute. 2.        Meet in a dark alley.   Bowling Alley that is.   In 90 minutes of fun with your friends you’ll roll off 200 calories, skip your light beer-you can do it in an hour! 3.        Go Green.   Ride your bike to run your errands.   In just 23 minutes of peddling or 4.6 miles you burn off those 200 calories! 4.        Strike a pose.   Try Vinyasa yoga.   This type of yoga moves you fluidly from pose to pose, burning more than 7 calories per minute.   29 minutes….200 calories GONE!...

How To Get Started On An Exercise Program

By Anonymous -
So, you ask yourself…How do I get started?  Everyone has good intentions to exercise on a daily basis, but you need a game plan to make it work.  Here are some suggestions for when you’re beginning to think about an exercise program: Consider what you would like to achieve.  What are your goals?  Are you trying to lose weight or maybe train to participate in a 5K for the first time? Make a reasonable exercise plan.  “No pain, No gain” should not be your plan.  Everyone needs to ease into exercise at their own pace.  Whether you are trying weight training or cardio…ease in… you’ll get to that 5K. How will you fit your exercise program into your day?  Pick the time of day that you feel that you have the most energy and you can commit to your workout.  Schedule your workout time like an appointment you can’t break.  Look at it as “me time”. Try a variety of different exercises.  Don’t do the same exercises all the time, if you do, ...

A simple, effective way to sidestep sabotage (well meaning or not). "Another slice won't hurt, you don't need to lose weight, but you've always looked like this-it's who you are."  Do any of these sound familiar?  If so, you've faced sabotage at some point along the way and it can undermine your weight loss journey. Something to keep in mind, is that most often, sabotage is not intentional.  Often it's the people that love you the most say or do things that could derail your weight loss and maintenance efforts.  These people don't even realize they're doing it.  They think they are helping you.  Many people associate food with love. The bottom line is not to assume that friends and family are trying to harm your weight loss journey.  Take the time to explain to them how you feel sabotaged and let them know how they can better support you and your goals.  after all, they won't be able to change their behaviors unless they know how th...
