workout today with my trainer- we did 10min on the treadmill, then 2 circuits of whole body push ups, platform step ups, lat pulls, and reverse sit up, then we did a couple laps around the basketball gym for the cool down. I feel really good :) especially since I'm walking faster, not needing any more "breathers" during the circuits and Dan keeps make the exercises more difficult and I continue to be able to do it! Woo hoo!
Nutrition wise with me lately hasn't been the best. I don't know how many of you know, or if I've mentioned it before but I have a compulsive emotionally eating disorder. It's something I've struggled with for several years. It's finally getting better thanks to therapy- I have only binged once in the past 2 weeks---YAY. However, besides that, I'm not getting a hold of this eating schedule. I've gotten down eating in the morning, and sometimes in the afternoon, but lately that's been it, which is just as bad as binge eating. I keep trying, baby steps here.
So my "tip" today- when you drink water, if you can, drink it ice cold. When you drink ice cold water, your body has to burn calories to warm it up. Drink 8-10glasses of ice cold water and you can burn an extra 100 calories a week. Every little bit helps!
How has everyone done with the moving just a little every day? For those of you who weren't doing anything, are you moving a little bit every day? For those of you did move, did you increase your time a little? Even 5 min? Let's up it to 10!!! Park farther away from store doors and work, get up and move during tv commercials, walk your dog if it's usually someone else who does it. Anything works! Good luck! Let me know how things go!!!!!
Awesome Rose!....You are completely right, every little step helps...and it will be a long journey. With the right mind set (and you have it) and hard work you will get there! You already have found a great outlet through this blog and it also allows you to vent when you stumble. I am going to follow with you, you can be my inspiration! Proud of you!

I just went to the gym for the first time in months. Yay!!!!!!! I'd also like to cut out my emotion eating. It's so frustrating!
ReplyDeleteyay! Awesome job!!!
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to do a little more lately to help me be healthier and I love all your tips. :) Yes, I HAVE tried to move a little more each day and it's been working! I feel so much more energetic, though it doesn't seem like it should work that way... Thanks again!
ReplyDeletewoo hoo!!!! Yeah it doesn't seem like it should work that way and it does. I love going up to the gym tired but coming back with energy
