SoWell on Sowal

Don't worry about it, you are doing fine. It is one day at a time.

Watch it on Fit TV. Check your cable to see what channel it's on.

Daily intake: Breakfast: fig newtons (2) i know, i know, but I just can't eat when i first get up and can't eat eggs at all, ever, hate 'em!

Lunch: Chinese(chicken) with brown rice, iced tea
Snack: 6 crackers
Dinner: 4 oz. sliced turkey (yuck!)
roasted potatoes
water

Obviously, didn't plan very well today. Tomorrow, will have yogurt for breakfast, salad for lunch, dunno what for dinner???????

Exercise---hmmmm....Maggie did not get a walk tonite. Will double up tomorrow.

Now if I would just practice what I preach. Maybe ya'll will get me motivated. I really don't need to lose weight, but things certainly need to be tighened up.

Hey, these all work for me--can I borrow them?
Tree, this is the DVD Jenay recommended:


There's a whole series of the 10 Minute Solution tapes, but Jenay can tell you more about them.
P.S. I had to go find this to be able to tell you what it was. I'm hopeless.

I like this one- this chick says "Scoop in your little tummy" about 20 different times. I play those sections alot! Actually, these types are good- fi you have an hour, do an hour's worth of segments (flex, abs, butt/thighs, arms, burn). Mostly I do 30 minutes worth.

Kathy Austin is annoying, but her Pilates videos are butt kickers. The newer DVD has a feature where you can listen to music while you work out instead of her awful breathy voice.

Anything with Mari Winsor is great too- she was Daisy Fuentes trainer (which lended zero cred for me, but just so you know) and her 20 minute Pilates is great.

I will have to work up to this, jdarg. Baby steps. No wonder you're so dang slim!!

Toots: You're up early...what's on your healthy agenda today?

I didn't say that I watch them regularly! Y'all have inspired me to get back at it. Plus, exercise helps to mellow me out. That's a good thing, as Bdarg can tell ya.;-) And I need some mellowing.:shock:

As much as I hate to admit it, I feel more mellow too when I do get some exercise. However, during the actual act, I do not look like this!

well, I'm suppose to go to pilates/yoga class at 8:30, but today is screwed because my housekeeper is coming this morning (instead of tomorrow as scheduled), and I gotta get the toys picked up and spidey out of the house so they can do their magic. spent all day yesterday getting caught up in the house so someone else can deep clean it (this is why I don't like having a housekeeper - too much work involved). But, it will be worth it, and I can do my new DVD that I've had for about 6 months, this afternoon in the house.

DD - my goal today is simple. Drink a gallon of water!!! I love ice cold water but I never make an effort to drink more than 3 or 4 glasses a day. I think this is a simple but necessary part of weight loss. Once you make yourself do it for several days in a row it truly becomes a good habit.

my housekeeper hasn't been here on a professional basis in quite some time--I keep paying her, but she always has something better to do--she's my daughter!!

Good goal!!! I don't care much for water, so have to force myself to drink it. You're right that it really helps with the weight loss. Have you tried those little Crystal Light flavors that you put in the bottled water? Does that defeat the purpose? The lemonade one is really good....but I'm sure lots of sugar. Nevermind....will try to follow your good example and choke down some plain.

I wasn't looking at your emoticon when you said "during the actual act, I do not look like this!"- I was looking at your avatar and thinking that you must really GET DOWN when you are working out!!

you can put a smidgen of cranberry juice or something in it if you need to. but I think if you just drink plain ice water, it's easier and you can take it everywhere and pee all day long (but I do remember that your bladder adjusts and you can eventually drink gallons without peeing all day long).

Crystal Light is sugar free....

It would take me 20 minutes to figure out how to get this thing to play. Aren't these exercise fembots just like way too happy and annoying?

Oh Ladies, I'm so behind on my Sowalling and keeping up with this thread. We have been just swamped at work and having major trouble with staffing. Ugh!

I am headed off to the YMCA right now, but I will catch up with y'all later tonight after the kids are in bed!

Something tells me I will be joing in on this funn after my physical tomorrow. Who made this appointment for a week after I got off the floating buffet? Anyone know how I can lose 10 pounds overnight?

I don't know about 10 overnight, but I just found out my h.s. reunion is Sept. 23. Never mind how many. But, I'm thinkin' I need to drop at least 30 in 60 (ok 58)
