Declarations for a better life

Friday, May 06, 2011

I'm declaring this weekend and all weekends until I am at a great satisfying weight that I will work out every weekend and watch my eating and Saturdays.. It is my weak day for eating junk.

I am also declaring to change my life for the better, I am going to eat food that is beneficial and wonderful with antioxidants and fiber and color.

My home is my castle. I will keep it in order so I can breathe and relax and enjoy and CREATE.

I am declaring a healthy life. I will use the tools at sparkpeople and weight watchers.

I declare to not volunteer for anything that is not headed toward my life goals.

I am worthy and I am going to create a body I'm very proud to call mine.

Inspired to walk everyday the rest of May

Thursday, May 05, 2011

Call it the May month of movement. I'm doing it. I was weighed in last night after 8 weeks of not knowing.. not too bad on the damage. Still down 3 pounds.. this was after vacation and not tracking.. I'm back to tracking and moving.... No gains and I consider that success.. Learned a trick last night at WW and implemented it, I ordered a cheese pizza out with a friend and asked for the to go container right away. I ate 2 small peices and popped the rest away, the comment from the server was " I could never do that!"... fun stuff, I'm in control again

I am doing this- anyway I can! Swapping stretch classes for strength training at gym and 15 mins stretching daily. 30 cardio a day, yes! Fruit- yes! Carbs...I eat, not too much. WE/ Report Inappropriate Comment

GONNABEFIT27 4/18/2011 1:27PM

Cardio for sure... Will try for carbs and sugar... Been planning to do this anyways so I suppose this challenge is giving me a reason to do it! Report Inappropriate Comment

TASOGAREBAN 4/18/2011 11:49AM

I think I can definitely do the fitness, don't know about the carbs/sugar thing. But may as well give it a go! Report Inappropriate Comment

CMRAND54 4/17/2011 5:43PM

I'll work on it. I've been really into fruits recently, like strawberries and blueberries, and they are as sweet as candy to me now. I'm aiming for 40 minutes of exercise a day. Report Inappropriate Comment

ZURDTA- 4/17/2011 3:29PM

Yeah, kinda... no can do on the carbs, coz I live for carbs, refined or otherwise, but I can quit sugar because I already have! 30 minutes cardio each day & stretching - whoo hooo! Report Inappropriate Comment
