Thankful Thursday

I'm back, I hope all is well with everyone. I just wanted to let you know that today is my rest day. Lately, the ea sports active has been kicking my butt. The game just let me know that my exercises will be getting harder, not complaining though, I need it. I really hate to sweat though. If someone could invent something that you could wear on your body to prevent sweating it would be awesome. Unfortunately, if your body did not sweat you would internally overheat and die, not a good scenario. Every Thursday I am going to start posting what I am thankful for. I will list 5 things that I am thankful for, I think we all have something to be thankful for, even small things count. Gratitude really helps you become a happier person because you really start to appreciate the things that you do have. It will help you to realize that you do really have a good life. I would love for you to join me on Thankful Thursdays and to post what you are thankful for. Ok, me first!

1. I am thankful for my family
2. I am thankful to have food to eat
3. I am thankful that it is summer
4. I am thankful that I have a house
5. I am thankful to be alive

Closer To The End Of The 30 Day Challenge

I am so glad that I am getting closer to the end of my 30 day challenge on the EA Sports Active on the Wii. This is the very first time that I have been consistent with any exercise. I am very happy that I am sticking to something for the first time in my life. It is very hard though, because I have not lost any weight as of yet. I am trying to stay positive and focus on getting physically fit. On August 1, which will be my oldest son's birthday he will be 18, I can't believe it! I will not be watching what I eat on this day, of course because we all know with birthday celebrations everyone usually eats way more than they should. I will be starting to watch my portion sizes and eat a healthier diet on August 2nd. I am so bad at eating healthy, this is going to be my biggest challenge. I just love food, but who doesn't it is everywhere you go. I will need all the support I can get. If you have any really good recipes that I could try that are tasty, but also healthy I would love to try them. Have a great week, talk with you soon!

Workout Accomplished

Hi, I did my ea sports active workout again today. One more day to go and I will have completed my 3 day of exercise this week and accomplished my goal this week. I have to say I feel great about it. Something that I don't feel so great about is that I totally overate today. I mean, I ate vanilla wafers, some cereal, chili from Wendy's I was horrible. As I said before, I am just working on my fitness for 1 month then next month I will focus on portion control. I am hoping that my workouts still count even though I failed terribly with my eating today. Having depression I find that I am an emotional eater. When something really bothers me I turn to food, who am I kidding I turn to food way to often. Happiness makes me eat, sadness makes me eat more. There has to be an even balance to all of this and I am determined to find it. Take care for now.

Still Moving Forward

Hi, I just wanted to give everyone an update. I am still doing the ea sports active workout. It went really well today. So far, I have been to working out 3 days a week, once I have the habit of consistently working out 3 days a week I will move up to 4 days a week. I have still been struggling with the food aspect of things, but I am tackling one habit at a time. My biggest downfall is chocolate I absolutely love it. I am going to eat chocolate only 2 times a week and see how it goes. I will keep you updated on my progress. I really need accountability so if you have any suggestions or advice it would be greatly appreciated.

My Rest Day

Hi, I just wanted to let everyone know that today is my rest day on the wii ea sports active game. I really enjoy the game and would encourage anyone who is having a hard time getting motivated to exercise to try the ea sports active. It really makes it fun. Today I am catching up on laundry and other household obligations. Have a great day and let me know what you think and if you have any advice I am open to it as well.
