Happy Monday!
Just wondering,
we all have a time dependant goal, (November), What are you doing (planning to do) this week to help you reach that goal? I love seeing other's ideas, and i assume this is the purpose of a group like this...
my plan? gym tonight, 20-25 min cardio, 40 min weights (uless D talks me into the Zumba Class)
Kid's judo class tuesday 1 hour
Gym wednesday (cardio and lifting)
Kids judo thursday
friday off
Saturday fishing/ hiking with daughter and niece
1400 cals/ day. we'll see if consistant instead of zig zag calories is effective.
mini meals. 4 - 6 smaller meals.
swim, bike, run. i am training for a triathlon - sounds intimidating.. but not so much. i got kind of tricked into the sport and am easy my way into it.
the problem with the training is that i get ravishingly hungry and have in fact gained weight. so i need to find that balance of monitoring my food intake / properly nourishing myself.
no more ice cream! i never was much of an ice cream eater and lately i find myself always being drawn to it. i am an emotional eater. so i am recognizing this as a trigger food and going to try and ease myself off of it. at least for a bit. i dont like restricting anything from my diet, i seem to get caught up on it. so instead i am going to focus on nourishing my muscles etc.
healthy grains, fruit, vegetables, proteins, healthy fats. low fat dairy. that is the plan! ill be in touch.
My plan is to stay under 1300 calories this week as that seems to be working.
i've just bought some After Eight mint chocolates (do you have those in the US?) so that instead of eating a whole chunk of toblerone (160 calories) i'll just eat 1 chocolate wafer (35 calories). THis is the plan and i am sticking to it!!!! (if i say it with enough emphasis then hopefully it will work)
I am also going to try and build some muscle - i am on week 2 of the hundred push up plan, and have found a ten minute muscle toner workout that i can do in my room. So far i can do 10 push ups on my knees but not even 1 proper push up. I live in hope.

My plan is to not worry about food. I'm trying not to make food a focal point and to think on other goals such as my book, my business and my children. My husband has a way of bringing me back to food and so I try and occupy him with extra lovin, which is a great way to burn calories.
I work out for about two hours, 45 minutes cardio, 30 minutes resistence training and 30 minutes ab work. Then I relax and pray. Write and listen to gospel music. Clean, cook, etc. babies, babies and a toddler. Then homework help with my 11 year old. Husband time for the rest of the evening and start all over.
I'm trending at about a pound every three days and even though my goal is November the goal monitor is saying I'll meet my goal Jan 15th. What about you?
