Last day of our weekly Challenge and I have to say it's been a success for me!!!! I did my 4 days of duel cardio, I did more than 5 days of the abs/pilates videos and I only had ONE coke the whole week!!!! This weekly challenge is what got me through the exercise part... and for that I am thankful!!!! I need to think of some new challenges for next week, I know I will still do the duel cardio, I feel that is really helping me right now.. but I would like to throw something else in as well.... I will think about it!
Lisa... You are doing a FANTASTIC JOB!!!!!! You should be so proud of yourself!!! Keep it up!
Eydie.. isn't that a GREAT FEELING!!!!! I am so glad you had a great trip and an awesome mental yet physical experience with working out! You did GREAT!
Red.... I understand what you are trying to say... for every action there is an equal but opposite reaction.. haha.. so eat too much, eat the wrong stuff, etc.. and you will see the opposite reaction... in how you feel and how your clothes feel etc. Going through this and learning our triggers helps us know a head of time what to expect if we decide to endulge. Gives us more info before we make our CHOICE!
Kristasmom.. great job on your challenge... and the water areobics sound like fun.. Keep up the awesome work!
Sandy.. hope you had a great weekend and was able to fit in some yoga!! Now you are making me hungry.. all that talk of a juice hamburger and french fries. I am now GLAD there isn't a Fuddrucker's here in OKC... since they make the BEST burgers and fries around!
Aqua.. trust me... it took EVERYTHING I had to get up and go exercise on Friday night. I wasn't in the mood, I was tired... but had I not made the commitment to myself and to you here on the board.. I would have skipped out. So I am THANKFUL for all the support that I am getting here.
Marti, don't feel guilty about taking a day off. You listen to your body, and if it needs a day of rest, then rest!!!! That way, you don't overdo it, you don't burn yourself out and you will be more likely to make this a lifestyle change instead of a couple of months change. You know? I am just working against deadlines here, and want to prove something to myself, and know that I can do it. However, I have skipped exercise sessions when I didn't feel up to it, physically something didn't feel right and such. So don't feel guilty, you are doing a great job yourself!!!
Ok... well, I am off to do my morning pilates.... I will try to check back in this afternoon.... Red.... Start up a new thread before tomorrow so we can all start posting our New weeks goals!!!!!
