any ideas?

Coming up on Day 30, and I thought it would be fun to celebrate somehow. Any ideas out there??

Today's highlights...
Upped my weights in tricep, lying extensions.
severely challenged my biceps muscles, 15 lbs, each hand, curls
Reached intensity level of 9+ and 10! in each exercise today even with children chattering at me.

Another idiom my family lives by in Kaegan's Son-Rise program...

Remember to believe that everyone is doing the best they can for what they know and for their own circumstance, it is the best they can do at this moment.

In our fitness program, I think this applies this way: When your workout is not what you know it could be, remember to believe in yourself...this was your best at this moment, that doesn't mean you won't have a better best next time. Moment by moment, we will get there.

ok .. here are some ideas that pop in my brain

write a blog article of only thirty words to discribe something to do with your bfl program.. it could be .. the acomplishments you have made, the thirty things that will change when you have completed the program, thirty things you have overcome so far.. etc etc..

go thirty mins on cardio instead of 20.. (oh wait that wont be a fun thing..) OH i got it.. 20min30 seconds!

Post before and 30 day pics on your blog :)

pick 30 other things you wish to accomplish in the next few months..

and of course .. drink 30 oz of you favoite latte :)

way to go on the workout.. loving the "even with the kids chattering at me" part.. been there done that.. (always).. sounds like you are really getting in the bfl zone on the working out.. GREAT JOB! ..

glad you posted today.. was wondering how you were..

keep it up!

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 ...
