I am starting a weight loss challenge tomorrow. Hopefully this will go well for me. The last couple of times i have done weight loss challenges i have made lists of stuff i can't have and how much i wanna exercise and all that stuff. However i never seem to stick to that stuff. So this time i have made a list of habits i would like to form. Every week I am going to take time to review the past week and make a list of good things i did, things I am ok that i have done and things i am disappointment that i did.

So I left work early today and when i got home for some reason i decided pizza sounded good. So i ordered one and some chocolate things. Well after eating two pieces of pizza and one of the chocolate things, i was trying to figure out why i was eating it. So i did the right thing at the moment and gave the pizza and chocolate away too someone.
failure in inevitable, how you recover is what's important.
So for my recovery, i would really like to go for a walk, but its only 30 some degrees outside:( Tonight i am taking a 60 minute body sculpt class. For supper I think i will have baked fish. to me this sounds to be a pretty reasonable recovery.

I'd say that's a pretty good recovery. It's impossible to be 'good' all the time - you can afford that occasional indulgence as long as your regular routine is solid, which seems to be the case. Way to go! Glad the weather is getting better (finally!) Report Inappropriate Comment

Well for my recovery i ended up going to Zumba instead of body sculpt as an appointment ended up running late. And then after that it was actually nice enough to go walking outside - 4.3 miles:) Report Inappropriate Comment

May Challenges

Tuesday, April 30, 2013

I have been slacking a little bit lately. So i have determined i am gonna do two challenges for the month of May.
The first is a walking challenge: 100 miles. I think the hardest part of this one is gonna be that it isn't ideal weather for walking out yet, yup there is snow in the forecast. (not happy about this) and I also put my gym membership on hold so i can't even go there.
The second is a squat challenge that i have seen floating around facebook: The hardest part is that it is gonna hurt.
Also I am making it a goal to do 12 workout classes.
I have a few eating goals which include when i eat at home and at work it needs to be good healthy food, for the most part. As for drinks, my goal is to not drink any pop or coffee from the coffee cart.
I have also bought a couple "it works" wraps that i am gonna try.

Challenges and goals are what motivate us to hang in there! Reach for those goals! Report Inappropriate Comment

time to get back to it

Saturday, March 30, 2013

I have been really bad lately with my eating habits. Luckily i have been ok with my working out habits so i have stayed pretty even with my weight. So now it is time to start eating healthy again and make that number go down. So now i am gonna make some goals for the month of April. The main downfall i will have for the month will be my birthday. One of the good things though is that i will be done with vball soon. I know that doesn't sound like a good thing but it is what happens after vball that is bad.
There is still snow on the ground and it is kinda cold out which really sucks. So i am gonna have to go to the gym. I keep trying to tell myself how much i like the elliptical but that doesn't seem to work at all. This month i am going to continue to tell myself that. Once vball is done i would like to go 3 days/week and both days on the weekend. Once it's nice outside i will be able to go walking and bike riding outside(if i can figure out how to put the thing together) :)
I would like to take 13 workout classes for the month.
Food is always a hard one for me to make goals on, cause i don't normally accomplish them. If i tell myself i can't have something i keep craving it until i have it. So i am going to eat as healthy as i can as often as I can. Of course there will be the unhealthy choices. so my goal is when i do end up having these unhealthy choices that they are in moderation. If i buy a bag of chips or candy, it will last a week instead of a day or two. If i go out to eat have something somewhat healthy - having a side salad instead of fries, ordering a chicken sandwich instead of a cheeseburger.
Every day i am going to make it a point to make a food plan for the next day and try to stick to it. I am also gonna make a workout plan for the next day as well.
There will be no bringing my wallet to work which will cut back on pop, candy, chips, coffee, and unhealthy food from our food vendors.
There are not going to be any goals that include drinking cause again i don't follow them. I am good for a while but when i fall off that wagon i fall hard.
Every week i will post how my week has gone so i can look back and see how good i have done or how bad i have done and hopefully have bounced back.
Good Luck to myself.

  

ups and dows

Tuesday, March 12, 2013

Every day seems to have it's ups and downs. I always feel a little down at work cause i am in a closed room with someone i can't stand and they don't shut up. My family also sadly seems to bring me down a little - they are negative and crabby and i really can't stand to talk to them most of the time - well actually i don't talk to them hardly ever.
I have started talking fitness classes at a studio in town. I really like the classes and when i take them they seem to bring up which is awesome, but i can't afford to take too many a week. Volleyball sometimes bring me up and sometimes it brings me down. Lately it has been bringing me up. What is better than hitting a ball as hard as you can to get the frustrations out.
Friends generally bring me up. I gave up drinking for lent. I have a few friends that i hang out with often that are really positive about this and don't push. But i really hate the people who dwell on the fact that i am not drinking and try to push. I feel down enough I really don't need unsupportive people around me too.
I am really excited for it to get a little warmer out so i can go walking outside. I also just invested in a bike so i am excited to get that put together and be able to start using it. I have not liked going to the gym lately so i think it is time to put that on hold until next fall/winter. I'll see how the classes go.
I have had another good day of eating. But if i have one more bad night of sleep i have a feeling i will fall off that band wagon.
Goals this week - no pop, candy, pizza or coffee from the coffee cart at work.
