doot doo doot doo do, doot doo doot doo do....(blowing revelie!)

Okay troops, time to kick it up a notch!

Marcie's post on the daily got me thinking about how changes in behavior results in changes in attitude, which result in FURTHER changes in behavior! We start out eating healthier and being more active for whatever reasons and before you know it, our attitudes have changed! And the positive changes we see and feel spur us on to further changes...or they can!

I have found that regular exercise has had a positive impact on my life in a lot of ways. SO....my challenge to you is to GET ACTIVE! Move your bod either through exercise or activity. Find new and different ways to rev up your metabolism.

Towards that goal, I am going to post the minutes of exercise or activity I manage to squeeze in a day. You are more than welcome to join it...I will total our minutes and post for all to see.

Day 5 goals:

1. Get back on track. The weekend is KILLING ME! Did it...but it was a bit of a struggle!

2. Use my new "restaurant water" glass...a lot. I love my new glass...feel pretty classy drinking from it, too!

3. Get in my workout...use my new wrist weights. Yup, did this too! I can really feel the difference strenght training has made!

Day 6 goals:

1. Eat OP...even at the PTO Tea this morning! Maybe I should eat before I go?
2. Drink less coffee, more water.
3. 3 mi WATP tape, maybe even 4 mi!
4. Fix myself a nice lunch and not just grab whatever is handy.

Still sticking to the KISS plan (SMOOTCHIE for some of you! )

Get busy, get active, get moving recruits! I expect to hear good things from each and everyone of you! I'll be checking on you....

Today:

Water
Exercise
less diet soda
op eating

Franny, I'm ready!

Today:

- water
- a walk
- no diet soda
- make a nice op dinner
- clean to music!

Today.......
- absolutely pure clean eating on program
- two walks - leaving for the first one in a minute
- water, water, water
- think positive thoughts and get myself out of this "why bother" funk. The scale WILL move eventually.

Today's goals.....

1. I'm going to go back to Phase 1 for the rest of this week. I may have been overdoing it a bit on the Phase 2 carbs, and that's why I've been so hungry lately.

2. Document every bite that goes into my mouth at fitday.com. I just HAVE to make myself more accountable for the volumes of food that I've been eating lately.

3. I am really struggling with exercise! Today I'm going to walk for my breaks at work. Yesterday I ordered a 3-tape set of Walking Away the Pounds videos....they should be here soon, and hoping they will help to get me motivated.

Good luck with your goals today ladies!!!

Good morning!!!
