Summer is here

It is the last day of June, and I haven't kept track of my healthy lifestyle. I will make a plan today for the next 9 weeks of summer vacation.

My summer goals for me are:

1)Lose 10 lbs in 9 weeks.
2)Sugar free for the summer. I will allow myself my 1 tablespoon of Maple Syrup a day.
3)Walk everyday with a friend.
4)To follow some sort of exercise program daily- tae-bo, bowflex and katie's bootcamp.
5)To eat a good breakfast and drink lots of water throughout the day.
6)To take my vitamins daily.
7) Ab workout daily

My summer goals for the home are;

1) texture kitchen/diningroom ceiling (done July 13)
2) prime/paint kitchen/diningroom ceiling
3) paint livingrooom
4) paint kitchen/diningroom
5) move deepfreeze downstairs
6) build kitchen pantry
7) lino installed
8) kitchen cupboards built
9) kitchen completed by end of summer 2010
10) pictures back on walls

It's been a great week!

I have walked everyday this week. My walks have been on a minimum one hour, so anything overthat is a bonus for me. I have walked daily anywhere from 5k to 12k. It has been wonderful to get out and walk again on a daily basis. I have found a new walking partner and she hustles, so we are good for each other.

I haven't been following my own advice on eating healthy- I have all the knowledge, the food- just too darn lazy to make it happen, so here it is another week gone and I am putting on the lbs. daily. It is amazinig what the wrong foods can do to your body.

New goals for the upcoming week. No eating after 8 p.m., in bed by 11:00 p.m., walk daily and get my butt out of bed to start bootcamp plus stick to watching my calories to make sure I don't go over and that I am eating foods to fuel my body.

Goal Re-cap:
No eating after 8 p.m.
Bedtime 11 p.m.
Arise 5-6 a.m.
Daily walks- 1 hour minimum
Kate's bootcamp M-W-F
Follow healthy eating plan by counting calories
Track my food daily

Here I go again

It's the start of a new week and the beginning of a new month. Before bed last night I made some goals for the upcoming week, and so I begin with a great exercise plan and healthy eating.

Exercise- A.M.
1 hour walk- first half hour was on a flat surface the second half hour backtracked my steps, but then detoured to do hill training. My goal was to make it back in one hour. I was getting nervous towards the end as I had 4 minutes to make it back to my starting point. I made it back with 30 seconds to spare. That was close.

Breakfast-
1 cup cooked oatmeal w/fresh blueberries, yogurt and 1 T. maple syrup. I wasn't that hungry to add in the eggs. I should have- as I find myself snacking.

I will post my afternoon exercise later. I will be doing a one hour bootcamp in the late afternoon.

Keep moving!
