Our assignment for today is to list what we do when we can not get to the gym or use our equipment at home, and to list our goals for next week only, not our long term goals. So here goes.
For now I am not allowed to use exercise equipment until I have the MRI and get the results back. Thankfully I find ways anyhow. ;) I've learned that if you move around the house quickly, often doing housework, you can work up a sweat and get that heart rate up some. Nothing like exercising of course. We do have stairs that I'm to avoid as much as possible but try to go up and down those at least once quickly. It's been working. I feel where there is a will, there is a way. We can always find some little thing to do that is beneficial.
This week went great until yesterday. :{ Darn it. My son just had to bring home a "big" bag of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. They are one of my weeknesses. Of course it's my own fault, as I joked around when they went to the store to pick some up. (blushing). So I told him that it's my mother's day gift so I can put 6 more inches around my waist. Of course hubby grimaced at this. I was joking of course. I just need to be strong.
Okay assignment 2. My goal for next week is to keep a positive attitude. Find what ever I can to keep myself moving quickly as often as possible. To really watch the food intake especially since I'm limited to activity. The biggest thing is to stay away from "FAST FOOD!" I have a habit of stopping there (too convenient) when out and about and I get hungry. This habit can set one back rather quickly. Bad Bad girl! Does anyone have any suggestions on how to beat this habit?
And last but not least, to keep a positive I can do this attitude. Anyone have any good ideas on how to do this too? J/K I'm trying.
Good luck everyone. I wish everyone continued success, and for those of us that have those week moments we can get back on track and not allow ourselves to get discouraged. I love this as we can support one another.
