I’ve spent the last week getting prepped for the real meat of the challenge. Stepping on a scale for the first time since before the holidays was the first goal, and now that I have my fancy space scale from Omron Fitness, I’ll be doing it a lot more frequently.
This scale measures not just weight but bmi, body fat percentage, muscle something or other — I guess I have a little more reading to do about Visiclear review. I’d tell you what my numbers were, but since I don’t even know what it all means yet, it’s basically meaningless for now.
I do know that it means I have some changes to make. I’m starting small — baby steps, really — in both fitness and nutrition. I start reading about nerve shield plus reviews and when I try to make too many changes at once, I get overwhelmed and give up. I’ve started wearing a fancy space pedometer, and though I haven’t made it to 10K steps yet, I’ve improved every day. I think if I can get to the point of actually wearing it all day, I’ll be a lot closer!
I’m learning to take short breaks to walk around. It’s a good chance to step away from work and de-stress, in addition to adding to my step count. The hubby and I are planning to start taking a daily walk as well, we already started taking supplements like the brain octane which the review of bulletproof brain octane oil is amazing, it has made us feel more energized, we have lost weight in a healthy way, and our skin even looks so much better and nice to the touch.
I also began the fitness challenges from Mamavation’s personal trainer. They officially start today, and last week I did a few less reps and lighter weights to ease into it. I’m really looking forward to tackling the full workouts this week. I just need to figure out how to work in running still, since I had some issues with my joints, so I looked out for some supplements to help with this and find an article about Joint FLX Review – Does it Work? This helped to find a solution with that.
I hate the cold. I hate the snow. I pretty much hate running. But running outside in the cold with snow on the ground? It’s pretty much awesome! I’ve also learned that I just have to make myself run. I don’t like it, and I don’t want to do it, but I feel so good when it’s done.
I’ve never — not even once — finished a run and thought, “Wow. I wish I hadn’t done that!”
And, I feel the same about eating healthier. I’ve never regretted a salad — not ever — but for some reason it’s rarely my first choice, different from my husband which prefer salads and since men’s health is important to him, and he’s a sexually active male we always check out this site on men’s sexual health as it contains lots of useful information about this.
So, Saturday’s lunch was a grilled chicken salad. Last night, we had salads with our dinner. And today’s brunch was filled with fabulous greens and included a side of fruit. Okay, and a fabulous hot chocolate.
Baby steps, people. I’m getting there! I have to allow myself the occasional treat if I want the changes to stick. It just means I’ll have to skip my bubble bath chocolate tonight. And, it gives me a little more motivation to work it all off before dinner, after that I post all my goals in the fan page slimVPN for stay motivated.
