I see we stilldon't have our new headers for the board (grumble, grumble). Guess we'll just have to start here. Have you put together your plan to help put us up on top of the Diet and Fitness Board? I'm doing the 6 day split so I can get in cardio too. So, the plan is to do lower body and 45 minutes (later) of power walk.

What's your workout plan for the day?

Top 3 weekly goals?

***1. weight training-6 days this week

2. cardio 6 days this week

3. Journal every day

OK...we're off. Have a great Labor Day!

Of course, I meant 8 glasses of water per day! I really have not been good at that & water is the #1 best thing for one's metabolism.

No Top 3 goals, for this week will still be a bit nuts with the consignment sale going on (drop off, shopping night, volunteering to work a shift). Instead, I've got my September plan which I'm aiming to adhere to each week.

Begin day with reading God's word. Get Allison's breakfast, fix husband's coffee, but get that reading in!

Exercise to be done in morning hours. Running either in morning or evening. Break days: Sunday, another day needed. Computer time to be *after* Daily Word and Exercise, not before.

Run 3x week, 2 to 2-1/2 miles (25 minutes), gradually increasing back up to 3 to 3-1/2. Work abs (17 min.) and inner thighs (5). On running days, work UB with weights (20 mins). total, 1 hr. 7 minutes per workout

At least 2 days, possibly 3, work lower body (23). Work abs (17) and inner thighs (5). 45 minutes per workout.

Total workouts: 3 hrs. 21 minutes + 1-1/2 hours or 4 hrs 51 mins to 5-1/2 hours.

Cut out sweets during week – and don’t go overboard on weekends. Weekday breakfast of a protein shake with fruit. Lunch of a salad or sandwich with tuna or other meat, or yogurt with more fruit. Snacks to be apples with p'butter. Dinner, the usual – portion control, low-fat ingredients… experiment with new recipes!

And A-Waaaaayyyy we go!

Already did my hour of cardio...powerwalk with DH.

I'm going to do the same workout as Fearless Leader. Breaking it up today. Will do my LB workout in a bit.

My goals for this week:

1. 45-60 minutes cardio (powerwalking or bike riding) Monday-Saturday.

2. 6 days of weights, split up nicely compliments of FL.

3. Back on the water wagon.

4. Put more veggies & fruit into my diet (thank you, Rhonda).

I have no specific goals for weight loss. If I do all of the above, that will follow right along behind!

As a side note...this is a positive, not a negative...woke up in a super crappy mood, with headache, backache, etc. Put my workout clothes on anyway and headed out the door with DH (even though he is the LAST person I wanted to work out with!). About 1/2 way thru our workout, I started to feel better, physically AND mentally. I can't say I'm exactly perky and happy and singing, but I definitely feel better! Just another proven benefit of exercise.

Hugs.

Sassy :)

Good Morning everyone!

My three goals for the week:

1. More Water, trying to get up to 8 glasses a day

2. Curves 3x

3. Pilates + walking 3x

Already walked 45 minutes with DH this morning. If we're still doing 15-minute projects, mine is to install some software on my Mom's pc. Think I'll take 14yo Joey with me to act as technical advisor -- he loves that stuff!

Good day to one and all:

Three goals for the week:

1. Continue to eat in a healthful way. I've been learing to cut back on my sugar intake and carbs and hope to continue in that way.

2. Deal with my stress levels on a daily basis rather than let accumulate until I'm ready to explode

3. Have really been off on my weights-plan to do them 2x to 3x this week.

Actually started off the day with weights. Slept well again last night-3 nights in a row! I've managed to accomplish paying my bills, putting the filing in my cabinet, straightening out the basement pantry, cleaning out 2 kitchen cabinets. Not sure whether any more will be accomplished today. But I'm very happy with what I've been able to achieve rather dwelling on the whole picture of what's left to do!

Hope you're all enjoying your Labor Day.
