ok, you're right

I will never trully love lunges. But I will do them.... Monday. But for now, I am finished working out until then!!!

Who loves Ruth's picture in her profile?? (raising hand and waving it in the air enthusiastically)

The 3M girlies spent the night with us last night as did our other friends' dog. It can get pretty crazy around here. We are headed to soccer in about an hour, then my hubby comes home. He has been in Houston for the past several days. Yesterday was his birthday. Kaegan and I are planning to bake a chocolate cake for him while the other kids play soccer (I will eat a piece of it tomorrow). I realize that soccer is over, but LC is behind the times! I love it!

Well, I ran for more of my workout this morning and found a route that better fits the intervals I want to walk/run. I only went 1.4 miles this time, though. My run must be slower than my walk, huh? I wonder if I will ever actually run the whole thing, though, since it is mostly uphill? I run downhill and that's fun!

I've been doing good on my eating, but my problem is that I only manage 5 meals most days. I don't eat until after I workout, and when my husband is out of town, I go to bed early.

I love the Eating for Life cookbook. I checked it out from the library, but I've already ordered for myself from amazon. I made the Singapore chicken. It was yummy!

So, why am I not terribly sore today?? I worked out hard yesterday. Especially abs. BARELY sore. I feel like I'm not getting enough done. What's the deal?

I agree, I am always more sore two days after than one day....of course, it could be a stretching thing too, so if you are stretching you may be missing out on some of that soreness.

Well, I am impressed with the pic too. I still can't figure out how to add links to yall's pages from my blog...so I am definitely the remdedial blogger in this group.....speaking of, what should we call ourselves?

Josha - It just hit me...we are both doing lower body on Monday...how inspiring! I will think about you when I do my first (and last) lunge!

Motherwise - we are in week two of the study. It IS the same Motherwise that you guys did at WH a while ago. They talked about they used to have it, and they were excited to have it back.

I am REALLY praying that I finish this study and the challenge. The study is a ten week thing, so growing in strength spiritually and physically are my two goals before the holidays. It would be great to do the study at the same time too.

More Than One Way

Knowing that the initial weight loss starts out with loss of water weight, I set a goal for the first week, to lose 5 pounds. I lost 6.6 pounds. Yay! Weight isn't everything, but this week, I have gained a pound, which is discouraging for sure. So- I measured instead, and I've lost an inch in my waist. Plus, I wore my belt a notch smaller this week. There is more than one way to measure success! A goal for this second week has been to eat more of the good, healthy fats. I think that my downfall is a repeated one from the past. I don't eat enough to support my activity. My adrenals kick in and I lose ground. I haven't accomplished my dietary goal, so I will re-focus!

Head in the Game

The challenge of keeping my head in the game is REAL! It seems lately, that with every attempt to re-gain my health, I get injured. I'm unable to go to fitness classes or runs right now, so I got excited about jumprope, thinking my foot (broken about 2 YEARS AGO) could take it. I was wrong. Now, I have almost constant pain in my foot/ankle/leg. I am back to 'only' yoga, which I love, but can I lose the weight and gain the strength with yoga alone? I think I can! So now, as I search for medical answers about my foot, I am excited again about yoga. So, here are my 5 Ways to Keep Your Head In The Game: Nix Negativity. Speak only to yourself and into the universe, what brings peace. (thanks, Ruthie) Review your goals. Keep pictures at the ready that represent your aspirations. Go to sleep with the vision of yourself having achieved your goals firmly in your mind. Cut yourself some slack.  Practice makes practice, not perfection. Get a friend in on the journey w...

Old and New

I'm so grateful that I kept this blog as I lost weight and gained strength the first time. Looking back through old posts, I am reminded to be patient and to persevere. I am reminded of my personal inner strength and of the ability to start over every day, as needed. I had gained 70 pounds in the course of the years of trying desperately to teach my autistic son. I poured myself into him and my other 2 homeschooled children. The story of this blog goes that I awakened to the realization that I had to re-learn how to care for myself, and these chapters describe the successful journey of losing 70 pounds and gaining confidence and strength. It's a wonderful story. I loved it as I lived it, and I managed to keep the weight off for 10 years as my children grew up and graduated my tutorship. Many factors slipped in to define the recent few magical years in which my autistic son became able to communicate and I devoted my all to him and to teaching others like him... and re-gained ...
