Exercise

I’m finally exercising.  Can you imagine that?  I am getting off my butt and doing it.  Yesterday I did the elliptical and my DDR workout. I was a total klutz with DDR.  However,  I kept moving.  It’s hard and I’m not coordinated. LOL!!    The thing is that I am moving.  I’m going to do my best to do something today. I really want to be lazy today but I want the bracelet.  For those of you who don’t know, my sister in law, Steph, and I have an activity point challenge going.  We both are following ww.  You can earn activity points.  We decided that we needed an extra incentive to exercise.  We bought this bracelet that says “A journey of 1000 miles begins with one single step”.  I may not have quoted that exactly right.  In ww, you earn activity points which are determined by your weight, duration of the exercise, and the intensity of the exercise.  Whichever one of us exercises the most, gets to wear the bracelet.  We started this at the beginning of the year.  So far, she has won both weeks.  I want the darn bracelet and the only way I’m going to do it is to exercise, exercise, and then exercise some more.

I still need to work on my food.  We had pizza last night and I ate to much.  I stayed within my points but I still need to eat healthier choices.  I’m going to make Saturday’s weigh in a huge success by there be less of me.

School is going to drive me nuts. I have two tests this week.  One in each class which I think is nuts considering this is only week 2.  I mean come on.  LOL!!!  I will do my best to pass the tests with flying colors.  I’m not too worried about the fundamentals class but pharmacology is another story.  It’s going to be the death of me.   It’s hard but I know it’s going to be the most important class that I’m going to have.  I have studied every day this weekend.  I am taking my book to work to study even  more. 

I hope you all have a great day!

    Ha, I can definately relate to the stress of exams. (I’m “studying” for my modern british lit exam tomorrow) All I can say is don’t de-stress with junk food, but keep healthy snacks nearby to keep you going. Also take regular breaks from studying to get up and move around.

    I love the bracelet idea! It sounds like a great motivator. I may have to try something similar with my mother to keep us both on track.

    good luck!

    I had been fighting weight loss issues all my life and had tried just about everything out there. Then I found a plan that really worked for me. I don’t know if it is what you’re looking for but it is a fat burning and weight loss dream come true for me. I published a blog to tell my story and suggest it to everyone. I know how tough it is to try to drop the pounds and I just wanted to help as many people as I can. You can view my story and this plan at:

    Good Luck to all and don’t give up!

    Yeah, DDR is a pain. It’s fun, but you have to be mucho coordinated to master it. The few times I’ve given it a go, I looked like an idiot having a flipping seizure. Needless to say, I’ve stepped away from the DDR for a while. (I have too much that jiggles…I’m afraid I’ll poke an eye out or something.) If you can master it, enjoy it!

    Good job girl! But I feel dumb, what is DDR? You can do it! Actually, pizza can be pretty healthy if you load it up with veggies!

    Is DDR ‘dance dance revolution’? I bloody love that game, what a fun way to exercise!!

  11. marathongirl @ January 21st, 2008

    I don’t know what DDR is, so do you mind enlightening me?

    Also….I’m so glad you and Steph have eachother, you’re always keeping eachother motivated, even in the midst of healthy competition! You go girls!

    Checking in with you to see how your doing. Your are just kicking butt and so is your SIL! I am so proud of you guys! I wish I had your incentive about now! I have just been down in the dumps and not caring. Although I have continued to lose…don’t ask me HOW. I lost .2 lbs only this last Saturday but I was sure there was going to a gain. It has to be switching dinner to breakfast is the only thing I can think of. I think I need spring!!!! I’m getting bored of winter now because it’s been in the negative digits for weeks now and that really sucks! Keep it up girl, your doing awesome! :) Love ya
