| ..... have made me so LAZY. Which has become apparent by the increase in my body stats instead of decrease. It really bothers me, but I can't be too hard on myself. Just have to get back on the horse and go again. I recently bought a book by Jillian Michaels, the awesome kickass femaile trainer from NBC's The Biggest Loser. It looks like it's just what I need, so I think that it's really going to help me do what I gotta do! And there is sun in the forecast so that helps! |

| Bad to the Bone |
|
| Jun 10, 2008 |

I have been so so bad lately. It's been so busy, shopping for birthdays, house reno stuff, dance rehearsals (for my 4 yr old), dance shows, birthday parties (my sister and my daughter), so there has been lots of eating out, and eating unhealthy stuff like cake and ice cream. But, I'm back at it again and I guess that's the main thing, that I don't give up! I did my Slim Sculpt DVD today and it felt really good to be active and pushing my body.

| Sick with a cold :( |
|
| May 12, 2008 |

Ugh. I'm all stuffed up with a cold, and I hate it! I did not get any exercise in today because my energy levels are low due to the effects of the cold. I also didn't get any exercise in yesterday because it was Mother's day and so my daughter and I spent the entire day with my Mom, grandmother and my aunts. It was great! (but I still could have used the activity had I known I would feel so bad today).... In any case it's not something that can be helped, so I rested today and will continue to do so tonight and hope I feel better in the morning. At least good enough to get on the elliptical trainer without falling off from my equilibrium being thrown off!! LOL

| One Day At A Time |
|
| May 09, 2008 |

Seriously. I was writing in my Weight Control Workout Journal (ISBN #1-892033-43-7 - Check it out, it's great, I can record all my info in it during the day and then update my fitNRG in the evening or next morning) last night and I was noticing that my previous entries were very negative. Which is not good. I know the effects that being negative has on me and I need to put a stop to it now. So when I wrote my thoughts, etc. last night I was very aware of what I wrote. For example under "I am frustrated about:" instead of "being a pig at night", I wrote "munchie eating". And under "What can I do different:" instead of writing "stop being so stupid", I wrote "make smarter choices". It really does make a difference. I'm adding some affirmations to my daily meditations as well. Mind - Body - Spirit. It's all connected and I need to honor that connection.

| Nighttime Munchies & Avtivity |
|
| May 01, 2008 |
| |
I don't know what it is about munching at night. Why a yummy snack has to go with a good tv show. If I could limit it to the light cheese and low fat crackers, it would be okay. I could deal with that. But I usual end up adding on a cookie or other chocolatey sweet treat, I'm sabotaging myself I know it, but then I do it anyway!!!
My activity level is staying high and I am so proud of myself for that. I'm really enjoying the weekly yoga class I am taking. I just got Ellen Barrett's DVD called Slim Sculpt. I did that on Tuesday and I LOVED it. So I ordered her new DVD called Yogini Workout. I can't wait to get it and try it out. I added in some free weights today for my upper body (since I worked my lower body mainly during the step aerobics yesterday). I hadn't done any for a while and it felt good to get into them again.

It is absolutely beautiful here today. The wind is a bit chilly, but the sun is fabulous :) I went for a walk and really can feel it in my legs now. The activity I've gotten in the last few days is really starting to show in my energy levels. I'll be adding in some free weights and resistance training this week. I hope that I will see some results within the next few weeks. Actually I just hope I can keep this momentum over the next few weeks :D

| Getting back on track.... for REAL this time |
|
| Apr 25, 2008 |
| |
I haven't been to the FitNRG website for a while now... mostly because I was annoyed about how the nutrition and exercise info was set up, I loved the idea, just not the format or interface. I have to say that I am pleasanly surprised at the changes and modifications that the staff at FitNRG has applied to this website, navigation, and tracking and navigation tools. Excellent job! I know that this was just the bit of inspiration I needed to get me going again. As you can see from my stats, I have not been doing great. I've gained lbs and inches and I am not happy with it at all. Time to take charge and run with it! With summer coming, I'm hoping this will be the motivation I need to stay focused and get on track... for REAL!!! and for LIFE!!!

| A Little Break |
|
| Feb 12, 2008 |
| |
It is so hard to stay on top of everything. It is so hard to break old habits and begin new ones. It is so hard to create sensible meals for one adult and a three year old. However, that being said, it everything worth working for was easy, it wouldn't be worth it. It takes hard work and effort to appreciate success when it happens.
I took a little break from fitNRG, not because I wanted to, but well, because I've been slack and was embarassed and even a little guilty to record what little efforts I had been making and what poor choices I was making in regards to my diet.
So, now I'm going to take a stab back at it again and really aim to make it work this time. Not because I have to, not because I need to, but because I WANT it. I desire it and I'm going to get it. :D

| First Week - So Far Not Bad :D |
|
| Jan 20, 2008 |
| |
First week getting into the groove. Think I did well as far as activity goes, more natural activity than traditional exercise but it felt really good and helped me get out of feeling stagnant. I pretty much sabotaged myself munching at night, it doesn't reflect in my Diet & Nutrition page because I get tired of searching for the same items over and over again. Luckily fitNRG is coming out with a better system for tracking diet and nutrition on this site, so that will be better then. Until then I'll do my best to keep track of the things that I eat with the the nutrition info on the package. I printed out several samples of the blank nutrition label and will fill them out as I prepare my meals and snacks so any "special" items that aren't in the database, I will have my own database of. Go me!

It's a new year and so therefore a new start, a new beginning to get into shape, and create a healthy and active lifestyle. I really feel like this is my year to do it. I'll be 30 in August and plan on feeling on top of the world at that time. Go me!
