Re:Update about new fitness video

Hey the video is awesome. It's called Praise Moves by Laurette Willis. Some of the stretches are no kidding real stretches. It's a lot better than the previous stretching workout I'd been doing. What's really interesting is in her video she gives you scriptures to meditate on so you can keep your mind filled with the great things of God. I bought it last Thursday and I've already used it 3 times now someone at church would like to borrow it so tomorrow I won't have it (oh!)
So if you want a good stretching workout this is the video.
Have a great day.

P.S. I'll update my current battle with the diet that apparently is an urban myth. But tastes good nonetheless.

Oh yes I did it again

I decided I must try the new workout video inspired by the talk at church. Now that I'm down 8 pounds (did someone say yay!) I guess I'll give it a go.
Speaking of which when I was at my money and me workshop last night the instructor had me write what was keeping me from having the financial freedom I need. And I realized NOTHING. I just let some poopy thinking come in to cloud my judgment. Now this cloudiness has been going on for years but I guess I just finally saw through the clouds to the sunshine. Plus it helps when you realize you don't have to be responsible for everybody else's stress. Thanks to my friend Brenda and her friend Lin I see I do a lot of things out of obligation therefore stress therefore crappy eating choices and not exercising.
Let's see what kind of hero is in the exercise video.
Yay you can
All for now and all for God

Overcoming little by little

You know how you're just going through life and then someone comes along and it hits you. The thing they have that you've been missing. Well, I finally found another clue thanks to my great friend Diane. You're probably wondering about the clue. I've been trying to decide how to decipher the clue as the clue has helped some people like Diane and it's also had its share of critics.
However I also read in the Book Fit for Life that most diets work for everybody and that once they go off them then they have the problem because it's the doing the real life thing after the diet that gets the pounds back on.
I think that anything in the world is possible yes even me losing more weight than gaining it back but it depends on the thoughts you think. If it's attainable, then it is, if it's not, then it's not.
So I will work with this clue, it's definitely attainable, but the point will be is my attitude enough to work with it.
Sorry for the meandering.
Have a great day. Looking forward to sleeping in on the weekend

Re:Fudge

As a late Christmas present, my Grandma from Saskatchewan sent me a pan of fudge. Because I have not ate her fudge in at least 8 years, I thought it would be a great treat. And yes I ate the whole pan and yes it only took 3 days, surprising though, I'm already back to the weight I was before I even ate the fudge. So what gives? Still doing the food log and exercise log but I don't really see too many patterns yet. I'm not doing the mood thing in the log, maybe that would make the difference?????
Hmmm.
Something to consider. Thank you Grandma for the awesome fudge.
Yours truly,

Days of Discovery

Been around to the library to try some new fitness videos. The lastest Frontside by Jillian Michaels and Balance Ball by Gaiam. Tried each one of them once so far, both look like really good workouts. I prefer the balance ball one so I may have to see if I can buy it on the internet. Not sure it's that effective. It is for beginners but I guess I'm in a little not much better shape than a beginner. The balance ball one is really fun though. Have an appt next week to go see if anything can be done about my thyroid now that I've been eating way more veggies (yay, huh) and exercising I don't want to keep letting my efforts to lose weight not make any difference so off to the doctor I go.
Have a good day everyone.

Wandering and finding

Opal and I were in Zellers not too long ago and what did we find? Body fat analyzer so Opal took it up to the scanner and yep it said 50 cents so being the usual splurger I am I bought it. Took it home and found out not good. Bad shape. So embarassing I won't even tell you what it was but the good news is I found I'm down .4% body fat than awhile ago.
Still trying to find the best exercise for me, I like deep water aquasize the best but I hate going out in the cold to go do it. Yes, I know excuses, excuses especially after just reading an article that said passive people need to a force to get them motivated. ouch! sounds too much like me.
Oh well the fight goes on. at least I don't have to be in the malls right now, got my shopping done 4 months ago.
Have a good Christmas.

Technology yay arrgh!

Well as of this last post my computer has now fried. So I'm not quite sure when I'll get back to my blog.
But of course I'm sure there's a computer right around the corner.
Have a great day.
