Just a Little Ouchy

Yesterday I did a workout from the July Shape. It involved squats, ball push ups, ball pikes, lunges, and a jump thing. Today, I'm just a little sore. Last night I went to my sister-in-laws place of employment and listened to a talk about Nutrition Response Testing. I've had it done before, I just didn't know what it was called. It is a very accurate way of finding out if different things (smells, chemicals, foods, anything) are not good for your body. While the Healing Diet is great, it also does have the flaw of not everyone is the same. The Healing Diet is a cookie cutter lifestyle. Now, the Healing Diet is great and works wonders for anyone who does it. I know that cows milk does not agree with my system. I don't see or know of the side effects. The only way I know this is because of the Nutrition Response Testing. Now, this testing can cost a lot. I'm lucky enough to have gotten a great deal. This is where the Healing Diet is wonderful. It doesn't require any testing or even a professional to eat the Healing Diet or do the surge training. Heck, this blog and comment section should be enough. I plan on meshing the 2 together so that I can get the very best results.

This week for my cardio days, Monday, Wednesday, Friday I am jumping rope. Like, a real jump rope. No more of the air jump rope. My body was a little sore when I woke up yesterday. I highly recommend it if you have high ceilings or can go outside. It was hot and muggy this morning and the sun was up, it felt good.

Until next time, keep up the hard work and you will be at your goal weight/size before you know it. Just take it one day at a time.

Eye Opening Evening

Last night Jackie and Patrick had an Extreme Weight Loss Seminar and I was asked to be a testimonial. I was very excited. I tried not to think about it during the week so, when I was at the office, waiting for the seminar to start, I realized saying that I lost 40 lbs in 2-3 months was really awesome but, I haven't done anything these last 5-6 months. It made it look like any other diet plan that you stick to for a little while and then can't keep it up. This is not true at all. There are a lot of people that stick to this plan/lifestyle. It's not hard and I love the way I feel while I'm eating right. I don't know why I've allowed myself to "take a break". Maybe I was getting disappointed because I wasn't able to reach my goals. I would be very strict and would lose a pound here and there. Maybe it was because our family schedule had been all messed up and with being in school and being a mommy, I just didn't take the time to make the new schedule work for us.

Either way, I'm pretty good with our new schedule now, have a lot of new meal plans, and new way of making goals. This time, I'm not going to reward weight loss. Weight loss is a reward. This time I'm going to reward "good behavior". This week my goals are, exercise everyday and no candy. My reward? My husband has agreed to take care of the kids so I can have an hour all to myself. Once I have 4 weeks of goals met, I get a large reward. We are going camping Labor Day weekend so, that's my big one and will get something at the Old Threshers Reunion.

Until next time, keep up the hard work and you will be at your goal weight/size before you know it. Just take it one day at a time.

7-13 Excercise

Today was a beatuiful morning so I went outside and jumped rope. I wasn't all that great at it. It's been years since I last jumped rope. I'm very happy I was in the back yard and no one was watching me. :) I did 2 minutes of slow jumping jacks, 3 - 30 second surges, 2 - 30 second rests, and 1 minute rest. Repeat 2 times. By the end I was doing pretty well.

Until next time, keep up the hard work and you will be at your goal weight/size before you know it. Just take it one day at a time.
