Hanging in there!

Well - working my way through this travel thing and weight loss. I am making better decisions than ever before on my food choices and really excited about that! My bread intake is way down & my water intake is through the roof!!! The workouts are presenting me a greater challenge on the road so still have to get a solid strategy for that.

Hope everyone else is doing well! Anxious for weigh in because haven't gotten the workouts in -- so we'll see!

You guys have a GREAT day! And stay positive & focused on our goal!
Girls gone Glam RULE! :)

My Eyeballs are Floating!!!

Wow! Who would have thought drinking so much water would radically change how you think...what you do...and your entire schedule! And...all for good benefits! Bertha -- I am thanking you around the clock for this challenge! :)

I do have to say that I am getting much better at being able to drink the water and manage it throughout the day. As soon as I get a free moment I'm going to the store and buy be one of those big water bottles so I can keep it with me all the time.

Still a challenge for me to work out on the road. Gotta figure a way to do that. Tough when I am working on 4 hours of sleep so trying to figure all that out. I did however start my day with 30 minutes of aerobics this morning. I love me some wii!!! And I am Jazzed about my finish to the 1st week!

Hope everyone is having a GREAT day & staying focused on the goal~~

Believe & work hard to make it happen!
Here's to your next drink of Water!
CHEERS!

Water, water, water

Alrighty, so remember 8 oz. is only a cup. I do better when I break it up. I have 2 cups from the time I get up until I leave for work, through out the day I drink 32 oz, then when I get home 2 more cups! Keep it up, we can do this! Have a great Wednesday :) B

STEP AEROBIC QUEEN

Well...I used to be the Jane Fonda Queen! I remember leg warmers and head bands and all the aerobic courses I taught! Yes - I taught! But now I am trying to get back into this fitness world. The wii is cranked up and today before I did anything I started working out on the wii. I did 30 minutes of aerobic activities. I did the step aerobics and the jogging. Both I still am only getting 1 star but I have been beating my time. So it is a start. I am in a hotel tonight and for the next 2 nights so my challenge will be getting to workout while I am on the road.  Hope you guys are working out! Excited and committed to make this happen!!

Now... as for the water challenge! You have got to be kidding me!! I started the day with 2 glasses of water & my eyeballs were floating! Then I dumped the 3rd glass in a measuring cup and realized each glass was 16oz instead of the 8oz I thought! I was happy!!! I did get all the water in -- but let me tell you...I was not a happy camper to have to pee on the plane. I finally gave in when my kidneys were about to bust.

Final thing for today...had to figure out how to eat heathy in an airport. Found me a restaurant that served Turkey Burgers on whole wheat and then got a side salad instead of fries. Looked up the points on my iphone and it was great. By the way --- love turkey burgers!

Hope everyone is doing fantastic!!!
You can do it!!! Love reading the posts! Good one Bertha!!!

Go Girls!!!

Surrender

Here we go, Ladies! I am really trying to figure out what is driving me to not do what I am suppose to do to lead a healthy lifestyle, so I read this that said, we have to surrender control and do things God's way. Here is a verse that can apply to every part of our life. I'm praying you have a great week! B
"So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and in His good time He will honor you" 1 Peter 5:6

There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up. John Holmes     So excited about this weight loss challenge!! This should be so much fun and to loose weight too!! I know we all can do this!! Love you, Linda

Ideas for You!!!

I thought I would share a few of my favorite "food" websites!!! Enjoy!

Really you could take any recipe and tweak it to make it healthier. A few things to think about.
- How is my meal cooked(best options - grilled, broiled, baked, steamed)
- Always go for oil based dressings/sauces (Italian, balsamic vinaigrette/red sauces)
- Make your plate colorful(variety of vegetables, protein ect)
- Spice it up! (sometimes healthy food can be less appealing, but use spices, cilantro, peppers, Cinnamon to give it good flavor.)

And remember - everything in moderation!!!!!

ENJOY!!!
