is it upper body or 3 B's today????

I couldn't remember, so I picked upper body. I didn't get to it until late in the evening because I was up at the school decorating the first grade classroom like a castle. It's way cool looking. Tomorrow is the official first day of school here. Not for our homeschool, though. We always start the day after labor day. It's just the way I do it. The classes the kids take at the school building begin tomorrow, though. Gracyn's class and all of middle school/high school go on a camping trip for the first week of school. She is sick, though, and will have to stay home until she is well. Hopefully, she can catch up to them later in the week. Tomorrow is cardio, and I'm achy like an old lady. I think it is part of readjusting to the altitude. I'll take it a little easy tomorrow. My legs feel like they used to in the beginning of my program (looooong ago), and I think it was the altitude then too. I kept thinking I was over training, but I know that I haven't done that this time because I haven't done lower body yet! It will take a few weeks to get my legs back, I guess! No stoppin', though! Hey, Ruthie, what number is today in this challenge?

OH WOW...Next weekend is my one year anniversary of BFL!!!!

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 ...
