Eating Tips

I just read a terrific article on natural eating at Simple Mom. I found it really inspiring and great simple advice.

Hoorah For Me (and hopefully you too)!

I just need to pat myself on the back because I have been walking every day (except Sunday) since Fall began. How about you? Are the cooler temperatures inspiring you? If you haven't experienced it yet, take a step outside and breath in the Autumn goodness... maybe then you will feel like a little stroll, or jog, or *gasp* run!


Keep up the great work, you can do it!!!

Hello Monday!

Welp, it's Monday again and you know what that means...a whole new world!
WAIT...Aladdin, get out of here :)
I don't know about you but this weekend was a TERRIBLE one!!!
Ate LOTS of yummy but VERY unhealthy foods and ZERO exercise (yikes!)
However, it's a new week and a new chance for everyone...including all of us going through FOOD REPENTANCE...ooooooh :( LOL!
Weighed in this morning to know what I was up against this week, from a splurge weekend, and I gained ONE POUND... waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

We're all entitled to falling off the wagaon...or being pulled behind it in some cases :)

The question is..."WHAT WILL WE DO ABOUT IT STARTING NOW?"

FRIDAY WEIGH IN???

Hello all!!!

Hope this week's been a productive one full of happiness and healthiness :)
How's everyone weighing in?
With two days of no exercise whatsoever in a row, I'm sad to report...nothing for me!
No weight gain :) ...but also no weight loss either :(

Just remember, when life's got you down or your goals haven't been met, it's ok!
Perfection can never be reached in this life, but that can't keep us all from trying.
Keep you head up, stick with it and know you've got others sweatin' it out with you!!

It's Monday...and I BELIEVE IN YOU!

Hello there!

How's everyone's Monday starting off???
Monday's can sometimes be rough...a new week, new challenges, new trials :(
However, there are people who believe in and are rooting for YOU!

"Come on y'all we can do it put some exercise into it...
if hard, it's ok eat some healthy food today!"

I heard a quote at conference that I feel applies to overcoming our hardships and can help in achieving our goals. It is as follows...

Elder Richard G. Scott say:
Spirituality yields two fruits:
1) Inspiration, to know what to do
2) Power, or the capacity to do it

If you just can't find the energy to exercise pray for the inspiration to know what to do. Maybe it's walking, maybe it's wii fit, maybe it's taking the kids to the park and playing with them...whatever you feel inspired to do 15 minutes of something is better than 24 hours of nothing :( GET INSPIRED!

Once you get inspired...KNOW that you have the power to DO IT!

I was SOOOOOOOO not feeling good this morning :( Feeling down, feeling tired, worried there was not enough time in the day! I said a prayer and put on my shoes. I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT! I ended up walking for 1 HOUR, 3 miles and burned 535 CALORIES!!! If I can do it...
"MRS LAZY" herself...then anyone can :)

I'm rooting for you...

Friday Weigh-In

So how have things been going this week? We know that Carrie is doing well. Congrats on reaching 5 lbs!!!!!!!

How about the rest of us? Is your hard work paying off?

You Are What You Eat...

My dad always said tackle one thing at a time...so I guess that's what I'm continuing to do. Giving up soda wasn't too bad, although I do miss the occasional Doctor Pepper on a really hard day. Hey, it's the closest thing we Mormons can get to instant gratification...we don't drink alcohol :) LOL! It was a little harder giving up huge plates of yummy mashed potatoes, fried foods and Sugary Cereals. Oh, but the hardest is my want to indulge in chocolate cakes, fresh baked cookies and TWISTED FROSTYS! Oh, the pain...

However, I have found a new love for Cheerios (Honey Nut are the best), fresh fruit, yogurt, Lien Cuisines, fresh subway sandwiches, veggies and Ice Cold glasses of water. I have found that when I'm not eating all the time and counting my calories more closely I make A LOT healthy choices. My problem is not what I eat necessarily...just how much of it I eat at one time and how often I eat it. I never realized I was stopping by Wendy's like EVERYDAY one week to get a .99 cent frosty :(

I am happy to report that while continuing to make healthy decisions in food choices and using my Wii Fit EVERYDAY that I have dropped another 2 POUNDS!!! It's a VERY SLOW work in progress, but I gained it a little at a time I guess I've got to lose it that way too. Hope you're all doing well!

Well I'm off to do some cardio & yoga on the Wii Fit!
