That is really what it is about- just feeling strong and healthy.<BR/><BR/>Good job on the not eating when tired! Wow, that is a biggie for me, too. Just now I got home from the grocery store, tired, hungry and mean. :0 Perfect time for me to reach for a glass of wine, then forget my eating and next thing I know I am knee high in potato chips. lol<BR/><BR/>But I had my balanced dinner and feel really good. Yeah!<BR/><BR/>I would love to hear how others are doing, too!<BR/><BR/>Oh, and I found some great articles online from the Parade magazine that was in my Sunday paper.. will look again later.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00889299687693914699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4867962441941754804.post-34375718728431342182007-08-05T19:10:00.000-05:002007-08-05T19:10:00.000-05:00I'd love to see the article, Cindy.I am still work...I'd love to see the article, Cindy.<BR/><BR/>I am still working on portion control wrt eating, and doing what I love, workout wise. Some days I only have 30 mins to workout, other days 45 or 60 minutes, so I play it by ear. <BR/><BR/>Yesterday, I did a 60 minute Taebo - Ultimate Abs. Jonathon and his friend Meg did 30 minutes with me and then gave me high fives for doing the rest of the DVD and all the floorwork! <BR/><BR/>I think my eating has been good but my weight has been erratic - lose a kg, gain a kg. But my newer clothes ( short skirt and dresses) still fit, so that's cool! <BR/><BR/>I will weigh in again this week or next and decide where I may need to make small changes. Drastic changes just don't work for me, make me obsessive! <BR/><BR/>Avoided the "eating when tired after work trap" last week, just ate what I had planned and then a lower fat/lower calorie treat. Pleased with myself over this! <BR/><BR/>Rachel, Maria, Niamh - how are you gals going?Leoniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11596513344737230084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4867962441941754804.post-41922321653242449942007-08-05T17:15:00.000-05:002007-08-05T17:15:00.000-05:00HI Leonie-Your Billy Blanks looks wonderful! He i...HI Leonie-<BR/><BR/>Your Billy Blanks looks wonderful! He is such a high energy guy.<BR/><BR/>I know what you mean about the endorphins. There is nothing like it to improve a mood. I was telling my boys that last week- that if they ever feel down, to get some endorphins going!<BR/><BR/>I saw a great little article about the benefits of exercise, including the mood enhancing in the Sunday paper today. I will try and find it online an dpost it here.<BR/><BR/>As far as check ins... I am hanging in there. I started the personal training diet about 3 weeks ago and really like it. I have slipped a little, but I actually like the food and I think (hope) it is teaching me to eat less.<BR/><BR/>I have stuck with my stepped up workouts and really like that, too. Only problem is the time it takes, but I don't plan to do this forever. And I get tired, as my body is working hard, but I hope to gain muscle and evenentually lean down.<BR/><BR/>It is fun doing it with my friend in another state as we email lots to encourage each other. :)<BR/><BR/>How are you doing - are you doing any plans, journal, etc now? Anyone else?Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00889299687693914699noreply@blogger.com
