Hard month to give up candy

Friday, February 15, 2013

Of course, I had to wait for valentines day to decide to quit candy. It was starting to get out of control. I just can not have candy anywhere near me. I quit candy before, but it knows me by name. It just calls to me. I have to learn to resist. I have been craving it, I have none in the house. So I am blogging to get through the craving. I will probably be through the weekend before I stop craving it. I have to buy some Carmel flavored rice cakes, I think they might help. I am stronger than candy~I will defeat candy!

Holidays always make everything so hard. Fruit use to help me, especially strawberries, don't know why. Be sure to check spark pages for other ways to calm sweet cravings. You can do this. Report Inappropriate Comment

Feeling good February

Saturday, February 02, 2013

This is the second day in a row of exercising! WooHoo! Yeah, right! I am so disgusted with myself. I get side lined with injuries (exercise related) and go into a food frenzy. My knee is feeling better, my ankle and calf are feeling better. I am trying to just bike for 30 minutes to regain my strength in my legs. I am sneaking in 100 jump ropes a day. If I feel any pain at all I will,stop the jumping and just bike. Spring is coming real soon and I won't be able to wear my camouflaging sweats and jackets! I need to get real serious!

The good thing is I am back on track with the exercise. Sunday, I plan on adding some ab work. I don't want to do so much that I am sore for 4 days. Nice and easy for the next couple of weeks!

Tried and got it done

Monday, January 28, 2013

Yesterday I said I was going to try and workout. Well, I got it done. I did 36 minutes of various exercises and it felt so good. Today I biked 24 minutes with no knee or leg pain at all. I will continue to exercise but I will take it easy and build on it every day. I am so happy to be breaking a sweat again!

i am going to try...........

Sunday, January 27, 2013

It is very early Sunday morning. Just in from work. I am going to try and do some sort of exercise today. I wil work on my abs, or do some arm exercises. Maybe some virtual hitting the heavy bag. I am going to "test" my ankle/calf and see if I can start jumping around again. It felt better today at work, so I am hoping to do something today. I promise to warm up and take it easy. If I post it~I will do it! Have a great Sunday!

You know your body, so be careful and do what you feel conformable with. I hope you have a great Sunday too! Report Inappropriate Comment

I hope you follow through on that. I used to be a tri-athete. I always found there was something you could do to work around an injury. On spark people I track things that aren't even exercises per say, like snow shovelling and up and down the stairs. It keeps me moving and that keeps me happier and gets me to my goal. And keeps me away from the fridge !! Report Inappropriate Comment

Jump rope fact

Sunday, January 13, 2013

I just read a spark people blog written by a personal trainer. She says that:
10 minutes of jump roping (at 120 turns a minute) burns the same calories as 30 minutes of jogging!

That sounds great to me. I am going to get serious about jump roping.

The sparks people article is called "Jump roping For Fitness"

I bought a jump rope a couple of years ago and have yet to use it! I really should get it out and make use of it. Thanks for a blog to hopefully push me to do it! Burn, burn, burn those calories! Report Inappropriate Comment

Isn't it funny... when we were kids we could jump rope for hours at a time... I was always a very "round" child but I could sustain... didn't think of it as exercise... and all those games where you had to run in and out of the rope without missing a link... stamina, timing, skill... where did it all go? I think we discovered pop stars, make up, clothes and boys instead and used all our stamina, timing and skill on them! Report Inappropriate Comment
