I'm totally kicking it up a notch today! Gonna do my TaeBO workout ha! *waits until high noon* :P

hubby and I are lifting weights tonight..he will work me hard!

I kicked it up a notch today...gonna kick it tomorrow too! Tomorrow I'm planning on a walk and evening Yoga .

Yay Kayley.

Not sure what my something new will be today - maybe put my fork down between each bite (how long have I been saying I was going to try that).

Hmmmm..something new for today. I think I will meditate this evening. That is new for me.

I might be wrong, but I think tomorrow Friday is the Report a NSV...

I'm sure I'll have one... :P

As for trying something new, I did, and today I got a ton of veggies and fruits into me. Working on drinking up that water though.

Jacquie - can't wait to hear about the NSV!

a nsv..for me would have to be staying on plan this week! I have been mindful of mindless eating..that a big plus for me..

Well I wanted to do 7 full days of exercise, BUT today there was no way I could get myself to hop around or even do Yoga or walk. My hip is stiff, I'm sore, and fatigued (hormones TOM). So, my NSV is taking control and listening to my body. I'm going to do 6 days a week, rest, and tomorrow I'll have the energy to get back in the exercise saddle...even with a stiff hip.

Ah GAH my weight is up, I think it is TOM (i do get a bit insecure with hormones raging as well)...right now I ranging from 270-272 and my lowest was 266...well...we'll see. I'm still going to be on my TOM come this Sunday for the weigh in thread thing. I usually don't get rid of this weight until a few days do a week afterward when I start to level off. *frustrated sigh* lol Sometimes I feel like I have two weeks where I'm feeling normal. :/

I should also mention I'm bloated and I know I'm retaining water as usual, but still fussy. I just think I haven't lost much over all this month, so I need to make some changes. Obviously exercising is a key one here, but also that balance of both, food and exercise is something I'm still grasping.

Jacquie - I am a firm believer in at least one day off. It's great that you're learning to listen to your body.

I made a Southwestern Soup today - I've never had it at Chilli's but supposedly it is their recipe.

My NSV today is two great hours of exercise - water class started my day off at 630 this morning and a great cardio class at 6 this evening.

Tomorrow my challenge is "no cake at the baby shower - actually I think I will make it NO FOOD AT THE BABY SHOWER" as we are going to dinner - don't need to graze all day.

Well today so far I've gotten up and attempted to do the TaeBo workout again...I can get almost through it. I believe it is 45 minutes long and I am now at 38-40 minutes but I just get worn out and when I feel like I'm not giving it my all or I'm panting like a mad woman, that is when I stop lol. So, I'm getting there...my other workout I can get all through the cardio and some into the strength, so I have two goals now!

Taking a day off was essential, I'll have to remember that as my body really needed it. Today I had no problem suffering through a workout hahahaha.

I didn't do so well with my challenges yesterday. So today my be nice to me is being back OP 100%. That is the best gift I can give myself.

Today...I have a NSV of doing 6 days of exercise in one week, which i have never done before. Shameful I know, but I did it. Next week 6 days...did my other cardio DVD today and got through half of the strength...my legs were so shaky and my arms were done so I had to quit lol. I hope to get farther and farther each time!
