Stress of the Holidays

Friday, November 16, 2012

Thanksgiving is coming up quickly and Christmas around the corner.
I am still doing my board on my frig having a hard time getting in my Leslie 3 times a week which has me a little down
Was really hoping my boyfriend would be not smoking so much anymore but that is not happening and he stinks so badly bummed about that.
Decided with the holidays and feeling pressure about writing in the groups every day of my goals met so much stress at work this time of year can't let all this get to me. Feel guilty enough when I don't get my walks in then to come on here and not be able to put it on my tracker just gets me down to much right now.
I do my steps everyday, still waiting for my Fit Bit One to arrive, until then I have my pedomter and walk with Leslie 3 times a week. right now that's all I can handle.
Some times we need to give our selves a break of always being so hard on our selves. Tomorrow is always a new day to make a change if we want too.
sometimes we just need to dance and just be happy and thankful we are able to get up in the morning and have a productive day, no matter what we do.
I do wish everyone a Beautiful Holiday Season and sending out lots of

Kicking it up a knotch for November:)

Friday, November 02, 2012

Hello sweet 's. This was my October board a bit busy and yes did quite a few steps and did a few miles with Leslie.
I need to kick it up a bit. New Month New Board

It's been a crazy month with so much stuff going on but have to get it back in gear.

This is what I need to kick up adding more workouts in and not just steps. Steps are good but got my new dvd's in today

I am so excited, I have to go out of town tomorrow for a co-workers wedding so going to walk with Leslie in the morning.
It is so easy to get off track with daily life stuff, but with the holidays around the corner I have to get back in the groove before those goodies start showing up
I keep waiting to hear when my new Fitbit One is shipped. I pre-ordered it, until then my pedometer will have to do.
I do hope everyone is hitting there goals or even if your trying your a Winner for that
NO matter what lets tell ourselves no matter what we take a half an hour each day to move our bodies. Our bodies will be thank ful for our gesture

As Leslie says alone, together with a pet it dont matter. Just

We are all awesome and we are going to have a Fabulous Holiday season

A big special thank you to everyone that visits my page and my blog, I love you all. Some days you have no idea just seeing your comments brightens my day so much.

The Fit Bit Ultra/120 Days Not Smoking

Sunday, October 21, 2012

Well I am about to buy me a present for doing such a great job and hit my 120 days today
If I seem excited I am living with a smoker is a hard job so I am about to buy me something
I have been talking with a about the Fit Bit and would like any other feed back I can get on this.
I want the one that does everything and the sleep. I have looked in the SP store, Amazon and want to know your opinions.
Plus any tips or suggestions from anyone that has one I would so appreciated it before I make my purchase.
I think there is an advantage if I purchase through SP.
My time is so limited and I think this would help me save a lot of time I spend tracking everything. love my award for

Hope all my sweet 's are enjoying the season, the crispness in the air and working hard to meet our goals. Just remember to pamper yourself too

Lots of

New Strategy for bringing in Autumn:)

Saturday, October 13, 2012

Good Morning to all my 's. My weigh in was this morning and was so positive with all the hard work this week of and strength but guess what I gained 4 lbs .

So I went out on line to see if I could find anything relating to my problem, so it is not my thyroid I take medicine for that and I have a clean bill of health so I am thinking after reading this article that I am not going to weigh again until Nov 3rd.
This is the article I found on line and it was actually an article from Spark People which I thought was Fantastic.


Question:
I just started exercising to lose weight, but I've gained weight. Why did this happen?

Answer:
It's true that many people either gain a little weight or don't see any change on the scale for as long as 4-6 weeks after making a significant change in their level of exercise. This is often explained as "gaining muscle while losing fat" but that isn't quite accurate. This extra weight is usually water.

When you start doing more exercise, your body begins storing more fuel in your muscle cells, where it can be used easily and quickly to fuel your workouts. The process of converting glucose (carbohydrates) into fuel that your muscles actually store and use (glycogen) requires three molecules of water for every molecule of glucose. As your muscles are building up glycogen stores, your body has to retain extra water for this purpose. That's what causes most of the initial weight gain or lack of weight loss. This is a good thing—not something to worry about.

However, despite what the scale says, you are actually losing fat during this time. The extra water retention will stop once your body has adjusted to its new activity level. At that point, the scale should start moving down. You'll end up with less fat, and muscles that can handle a larger amount of work.

Bringing in Fall with a Smile:)

Wednesday, October 03, 2012

Okay, last week was a set back for me with trials and errors having my sweetie home everyday from his surgery and cooking and eating his favorites:)
I came so close to buying a pack of cigarettes this last weekend it was awful, but I DIDN'T. Its kind of like do I want to save my marriage but I am not married.
The stress of living with a smoker is unbearable some days.
So what I had to do was change my mind thinking, I had a xbox kinect that was never being used so I traded it in for a ps3 which my sweetie has one and just loves his shooting games lol
well for me I started doing Getting Fit with Mel B and looking into the other game also.
I am incorporating the ps3 workout games with Leslie Sansone I get bored really easy so had to change it up a bit to get my mind going in the right direction.
I started back using my step tracker also and added that to my fitness on here,
I will say I did get a game too called Tomb Raider lol that has been kind of fun. Always been a game player on fb and then on my ipad3 now I have the ps3.
between work taking care of my sweetie I have just a few hrs at night to chill out til the weekend.
So if you dont hear from me much during the week just know I love when you stop by and I do read your post on my lunch hr and try and keep up with everything,
We went apple picking a couple weeks ago looking for a great Spark recipe for apple crisp if anyone has any would love it
I am in a group with a Fall challenge which I need to get over there and see what is happening and my logging in with my Leslie workouts. My goal is to get better in coming in each day and spending at least 30 minutes with everything on here besides my not smoking posts.

We all have our little quirks to get off the couch and keep moving, A big Hug to everyone that gives that little push each day to make ourselves healthier.
