I like to move it move it!

Found my thirty minutes...

Oh Yeah! Awesome. I found my 30 minutes of exercise today & that was AFTER parking far far from school & walking in (with the babe on the hip) & then coming home & doing a bunch of houseworky things! Woot Woot!!!
( we are all kinds of awesome Ellebee!)

I like to move it move it! I like to move it move it!
Ha ha...That's all I know of that song!

Feeling pretty darn good. I am suffering from some bloating (blugh)...I have a sneaky suspicion that it has something to do with things like gluten! Hmmmmmmmm....
Food for thought? (no pun intended)

POSITIVE THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

I no longer try to put a square peg in a round hole & I'm going with the flow!

WHAT I DID FOR ME TODAY...

I got my new book today that I ordered a week or so back. Today I sat with a cup of tea while BB was asleep & got a start on reading it. Bliss!

Ok....So THAT hurt!!!

6kms - 1 hour, 8 minutes & 24 seconds.

THE CHALLENGE

This time I have decided to break my challenge up into two 50 day challenges.
The first challenge is to cut a significant amount of time off the 68 minutes & 24 seconds. The second will be 12kms & then cutting the time down on that too.

My first 6kms felt great. I thought I did pretty well. There were a few signs showing me that my fitness is not what it was a few weeks ago, one of which being that I was huffing & puffing like an elephant about to give birth....to twins! But also this morning my legs were so so so sore.

I'm not concerned...its a good starting point.

THE FOCUS

The focus for this challenge is to move my body as much as I can. I am NOT going to play the game of being the 'food police' or deprive myself of things that I want.
My goal is to feel good. NO guilt! NO stress! NO pressure!
Getting out & having fun while getting fit, healthy & happy. That's what this is all about.

MIXING IT UP

My ideas of how to move my body so far are:

~Walking
~Jogging (this one will be gradual)
~Tennis
~Pilates/Yoga
~Zumba? (still deciding on this one)
~Dancing (in my disco family room - LOL)
~Park FAR away from RM's school & walk in
~etc etc etc

I am sure I will think of more.

POSITIVE THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

I am coming into alignment with who I want to be & it feels awesome!!!

WHAT I DID FOR ME TODAY...

Today I went & had a lovely lunch with two of my girlfriends. Real chicks who make it easy to be myself!

Here we go Mamma!

Pre start...

This is a pre start to my next 100 days. This time around its going to be a 'Physical Challenge' rather than a 'Weight Loss Challenge'.
I've decided (after some advice from my psychologist - BJ) that I shall no longer be focusing on what my body looks like, what size the tags on my clothes are, what the tape measure reads or what the scales scream back at me.
To be truley successful in my quest to be smaller, stronger, better, I am going to make my body move like its never moved before. By setting small goals for myself, the details of clothes sizes, tape measures & weight scales will all fall right into place where I want them to be.
This is the plan....I am nutting out the details with Ellebee...

Stay tuned....
