Well, this is just a rough idea that I've had floating around in my head today...trying to step away from a food/exercise challenge; trying to re-inforce positive thinking. Perhaps share some NSVs we've had within the past 7 days, or making a list of reasons we are wanting to get healthy, or something of that nature? Again, just a rough idea, so feel free to build on it, or just throw it out. lol.
^^ Yup we would love you to join! It is a lot of fun and we have daily challenges, some are about making us feel good, others about us kicking it up a notch as Kaleystar says.
Lost - of course you can share this challenge with us!
I'm still shaking my head in amazement - my water class just wasn't gonna work after getting new highlights this morning (you'd think I was the bride). Didn't want to end up with green hair. So I mowed our yard - then walked down the street and mowed my folks yard and while I was there mowed their neighbors yard (she's been a great neighbor to my folks). A year ago never in a million years would I have entertained that notion - one - let alone 3. All done and with the walk there and back - 70 wonderful minutes. It's not even the exercise that feels the best - IT'S HAVING DONE IT.
Read it in my sig - success is a choice - today especially I feel like I CHOSE IT.
Well, I posted on the main thread that this week, my jeans are fitting once again...so I'm still pretty excited about that. But today, when working out, I just began to feel so much stronger, and this sense of empowerment just came over me, and it's so hard to explain the feeling...but I feel incredible.
I know that I will be successful. The weight isn't going to come off overnight, but I WILL BE A SUCCESS STORY!
Today my focus was on getting my self confidence back, and the positive is, IT IS WORKING!!!! I was happy we me just being me.
Then I turned my focus on others less fortunate than myself right now and donated three boxes of food to the foodbank, packed with all kinds of good stuff just like I buy for myself. This brought a smile to my face and heart,
Great Job Carol on all your hard work and kindness.
Kayleystar, Yes you will be a success, better than that, you already are!!!!
I have a lot of challenges facing me today - today is day before the big wedding day. My niece is picking me up about 6 to go to water class - positive - have exercise out of the way! Then manicure/pedicures - then I'll take her mil to be to a fall festival (she's crafty and wants to see how it's done in the big city - lol) and then rehearsal and dinner.
How about getting all your fruits/veggies in today - that will be a challenge for me. Work for everyone? If not please feel free to change it.
I'm off to enjoy my day - I'll check in on you all later.
Today I made myself, well yesterday, stand in the mirror and smile at myself. I've been feeling very negative about myself lately and I'm gaining back my confidence. I also took the time to plan my meals for two weeks, I'm excited about that.
Feeling icky with soo many cooked foods, so I'm moving into a balanced two weeks of raw and cooked. Mostly raw haha. Love salads.
Yay fruits and veggies! All i eat, but I need to eat!
How many fruits and veggies is one supposed to eat?
You know, It has been a REALLY long time since I ate healthy...... I don't even know how many fruits and vegetables a person is supposed to eat.....(now if you want to know how many little debbie snack cakes come in a box I could tell you that )
is it 5 a day? or is that just veggies and its something different for fruit? is there a good (reasonable) website with the current food pyramid?
It is a lot of fun and we have daily challenges, some are about making us feel good, others about us kicking it up a notch as Kaleystar says.
