Week One. Completed.
I told you all earlier that the EA Active 2 goals for this week were 4 workouts, total of 2 hours, and to burn 600 calories in the process. The 4 workouts were no problem. I picked the four days that I thought would be easiest and got up in the 4's a couple of mornings to get them in. I had planned on one of the nights being Wednesday but I put in an extremely long day, out of town, and I was just too exhausted. Even though I did it the next morning, it still counted as a miss, but I did get all four in.
I started to get concerned about the other two goals by the third day. The programs that it had for me didn't last 30 minutes a piece and the anticipated calorie burn was less than 150 each. On the last day, when I discovered the workout was not going to meet the last two goals I actually got angry.
My initial reaction was that the game had set me up to fail. It didn't structure my plan to meet the goals!
And then it hit me. I wasn't supposed to ONLY count on the game. I had to count on myself as well. There was nothing to say I could ONLY do 4 workouts, that was just one of the goals. And, furthermore, the goals for the week were actually 3 separate and distinct goals. Not one collective goal.
It hit me on the last day when I burned up more calories than expected (144 compared to 139). Maybe it was the anger fueling it, but I had pushed myself harder than what was expected of me. I could have been doing it all week.
That would have solved the calorie goal issue. I was less than 50 from that benchmark. The time, though, would have only been met with one extra workout. And not even a long one. Each day the workout got a few minutes longer than the previous so I probably only needed about 15 minutes.
All I needed was to raise my own bar above the expectation. Simple enough. The only person responsible for that is me.
I learned today that I have some control over the setting of the goals. I didn't have to just accept the "trainer's" recommendation. Since I didn't know yesterday that I was supposed to reset the goals myself, yesterday's workout didn't count. So I dialed all the levels back a little to account for it. It's not really cheating, I did the workout. 30 minutes and over 150 calories burned.
3 workouts, 499 calories, and 90 minutes to go.

Motivational Monday
From Denise Ausin's Newsletter this morning:
Rethink Your Habits One Step at a Time!
I am a big believer in the power of small victories! The best way to get healthier and more fit is to take baby steps, to introduce good habits a few at a time.
When you try to overhaul your entire lifestyle overnight, it's easy to burn out. But when you start with one small change and put your energy into making it a habit, the chances are a lot better that it will stick! Did you know that it takes about three weeks to establish a habit? If you can take a small, achievable step and make it a regular part of your life for three weeks, you should be able to stick to it permanently.
If you're feeling a bit overwhelmed by the number of changes you want to make in your life, or if you're not sure how to get started, try this: Make a list of the changes you'd like to make, big and small. Include anything you can think of. Now go over the list and pick out one change to start with. Make it something that you feel is achievable at this stage of your life - for example, you may not be able to make over your entire diet, but maybe you can fit in one more vegetable each day in place of a less healthy food. Or you may not have time to join an aerobics class, but maybe you can start taking a walk most nights after dinner. Pick something you think you can accomplish, and put your energy into making it happen! You'll be so happy when you can check this item off of your list.
Once you feel confident that you've accomplished this small change, add another item from your list to your efforts. And don't forget to keep track of the changes you've already made! Nothing is more inspiring than knowing that you can - and have - accomplished changes in your life. Be proud along this journey!
And, by the way, feeling muscles this morning I'd forgotten about after Day 2 on the EA Active 2. Roughly halfway through this week's goals: 55 minutes and 274 calories. And I'm just marginally ahead of what the game predicted so the next two workouts must be a little longer and a little tougher to get to 2 hours and 600 calories. Good thing today is a rest day!
And thanks for all the positive comments on the first post. TOGETHER, we can do this!

New Day, New Year, New Plan, Same Goal
I hope to blog more in the near future. Even if no one else reads it, it helps keep me accountable. 1/1/11 and all is well.
At least so far.
I journaled my weight and food eaten and exercise. Just like I used to. Which I know works.
I started the 9 week fitness plan on the EA Active 2 game for the Wii. It works you out for four days a week for nine weeks. There are also weekly goals. This week the goals are 4 workouts totaling 2 hours and burning 600 calories. Today, first workout done, took 25 minutes and burned 134 calories.
I'm on my way!
Happy New Year to everyone! May you aim for the stars and reach your goals in the process! My wish for all is a happy and healthy 2011.

Tomorrow is Another Day, and Year
I always assess my year on New Year's Eve. Highlight the good stuff; analyze the bad stuff, plan for new stuff.
While I'm not thrilled with how this year went, fitness-wise, I do subscribe to the Scarlett O'Hara Philosophy of Life which is "Tomorrow is another day".
And in this case, another year.
Each day that we get up is another day to make positive changes. Or a chance to at least stop doing something negative. A new day, a fresh beginning.
I let a lot of things slip these last six months. A lot of things. Things that I need to re-implement.
And there's no time like today - unless you want to wait until tomorrow.
Yesterday I rode my bike to work and walked Riley. The first real, organized and planned exercise I had in weeks. The holidays are crazy! You get lots of walking when you're shopping, but you're also eating things you might not otherwise eat; at times you don't normally eat, and (possibly) have one more glass of the good stuff than you normally do.
Which is all fine. Life is to be enjoyed. But to be around to enjoy it even longer, those lapses in routine and good judgment need to monitored and tempered a little.
So, I will get up tomorrow with a new plan and new direction. I got a new Wii fitness game to try and some other modifications to my daily routine to implement. Maybe it's all psychological, but I like starting new things or changing my routines on the first of something - first day of the week, month, and, in this case, the year.
So, here's to 2011! A fresh start and a new chance to do all the things I didn't get done last year.
May you all have a blessed and safe new year and may 2011 be all that you want it to be!

Eat Right! Get Your Superfoods!
I know I've run this before, but it bears repeating. The following is from Denise Austin. She runs it pretty regularly herself so it must really be worth reading again.
And trying.
On Sunday morning this past weekend I made my own fruit smoothies. I purchased a bag of frozen mixed mixed berries - red raspberries, blackberries, blueberries and strawberries - and dumped them in a blender with a large container of plain yogurt (next time I'm going to try vanilla for just a little different flavor combination). Then I added just a little Splenda, which you could do to taste. Hit the button and Viola! smoothies for about 4 days. I divided the pitcher into 4 smaller containers and froze three and ate one. Very good! And simple. I thawed a second one out and ate it yesterday morning before work. So, minimal chemicals or preservatives. Just good, honest, wholesome foods. The same thing would cost about twice as much if you buy the Yoplait brand - and it's the same thing. I know, because I have them in the freezer as well. You can't tell the difference. Save money, eat well, and KNOW what you're putting in your body. Sounds like a winner to me. But here, let Denise tell you.
Looking for a way to get even more bang for your nutritional buck? Try these "superfoods"! They're loaded with essential vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients to help you feel great, and they even help fight disease! Incorporate them into your diet today!
Almonds: A source of "good" fat, almonds can help your heart by lowering bad cholesterol!
Berries: They're jammed with vitamins - particularly vitamin C - but new research has found these sweet little sensations to be ace disease fighters too, helping to prevent bladder infections and even cancers, among other illnesses.
Broccoli: Folate, vitamin C, calcium - broccoli is packed with all these awesome nutrients. Now researchers think it might also fight cancer!
Avocado: The large number of calories in a serving of avocado is totally worth it! This source of healthy fat contains a ton of vitamin K and potassium and is also associated with lower cholesterol and even the prevention of breast cancer!
Salmon: Low in calories, easy to prepare, and amazingly good for you - what's not to love about salmon? And the omega-3 fatty acids in salmon are great for your heart!
Olive oil: Another good fat! Besides making your food incredibly tasty, olive oil can also protect you from heart disease.
Green tea: So much research has touted the benefits of green tea, it's hard to know where to begin! But here's a sample: A Japanese study in 2006 showed that green tea lowered the risk of death from all causes. How's that for a superfood?
Eat well, live long, and have a wonderful day my friends!

Mary, Mary Quite Contrary
How does your garden grow?
Might be a little tough to see, but there's a ton of greens in there! I told you all we were trying our first cold crops and here some of them are! We did the rest from seed in our flower beds (hoping to keep the animals at bay) and the little seedlings are sprouting up all over! Expect more pictures as they get bigger and become more recognizable.
I'll let you know when it's time to harvest!

The Stark Reality
Before I start, let me start by apologizing for any visuals this blog creates.
I stayed in a hotel four days this week. You all know what hotel bathrooms are like. You throw back the shower curtain and there you are, in all your "glory", in the mirror opposite the tub. One day, instead of hurriedly wrapping the towel around me, I stopped and looked.
I took inventory.
I decided that I wasn't all that bad for a 44 year old. ( and no, I don't enjoy looking at myself "that way").
Let's face it, I'm not rocking any washboard, six-pack abs and the back of my thighs look like a cottage cheese dieters' paradise, but there are some good things.
My legs may never run a marathon. But they're going to walk a 5K in two weeks for charity and they can run as far as friend in need when necessary. My arms still have a little flab between the shoulders and elbows but they are strong enough to give good hugs and hold on to those I love. My shoulders slope some but they have borne the weight of the world on more than one occasion and held the tears of friends' eyes. My back is a little crooked but it is strong and straight enough to stand up for what I believe is right.
So, I may never weigh 120 pounds again but that's OK. I'm at a healthy weight and a lot closer to 120 than I used to be. I've dropped a lot of weight and given my heart a chance. I'm making healthier choices more often than not and giving my body a chance to be it's best.
I'm taking care of me. So what if I'm a little soft around the middle? I am loved. Just the way I am
And that's alright with me.
That's not to say I'm giving up on trying to be even better, but that's all gravy at this point.
No, I'm not perfect. But I'm not bad either.
And neither are you. Wherever you are in your journey.

Pilates
Trying something new!
I attended my first Pilates class last night. A friend gave me 10 sessions as a "thank you" for a favor I did for her. She needn't have done anything, but was it was a very nice gesture and I was glad for the new exercise.
New exercises are always good things.
Now, I've done Pilates DVDs in the past. I like Denise Austin's standing Pilates in particular. But that is nothing when compared to using all the machines! The instructor had most everything on the lowest setting for me and they were still very challenging.
They say you should change your routine up every 6 weeks or so. So, here I go. I'll keep you posted!

We Are What We Eat
I remember this as being sort of a "catch phrase" in the 70s. I also think a lot of folks pooh poohed it as a bunch of hippie nonsense.
I beg to differ.
Earlier this year I started doing some research on breast cancer. Not because I have it, but because I am a woman and the possibility always exists in the back of my mind. I do have some of the risk factors so I am ever vigilant.
One thing I did was to follow a blog. Fox News reporter Jennifer Griffin was diagnosed in the fall of 2009 with Triple Negative breast cancer. She chronicled her journey. Some posts were tearful, some joyous.
Her treatments completed, and successfully, she changed some of her focus to prevention. Many of these posts relate to the foods we eat.
So it got me to thinking - always a dangerous thing! - about what all we ingest around here. Because I believe there is a lot of truth to the research.
I don't think our bodies were ever intended to process all the chemicals and preservatives and other ingredients with names that read like alphabet soup. They were meant to use as fuel those things that we can grow.
Of course, the new buzzword for all this is "organic". We have a new little store in town and his specialty is organic spices.
Spices, you say.
Aren't those already natural?
One would think, but go read a label. There's tons of stuff in there that you can't pronounce. Most of it says "added to keep it free flowing." Slick Rick's says "shake it to wake it." Free flowing once again.
So, at our last "family meeting" - which is really any time the two of us are in the same room - we decided to start working our way towards organic. I'm going to try to grow my first "cold crop" - lettuces and such. Peppers and tomatoes I've got down pretty well. And we're starting to read labels more. We'll get back to cooking more foods from fresher ingredients and doing things from scratch.
Because let's face it. All those ingredients are added to foods to give them longer shelf lives and add to our convenience. We can grab out of the pantry or freezer something that is meant to sit for a year and cook it in a matter of minutes. Fits our busy lives and schedules, right?
So what are you going to do with all that "extra" time you are creating? Cram more meetings or activities in? Or will you be spending it in a doctor's office. Attached to tubes and wires and receiving treatments? Or could you be enjoying some quality, healthy family time?
Now, I know there are plenty of people that smoke and eat junk and never get a cancer cell. Alternately, there are those who have lived a clean life and still get sick. I wouldn't wish cancer on anyone. But if there is solid research that indicates that something as simple changing our eating habits can really help prevent even the possibility, why wouldn't you think about it?
I hope to borrow from her blog over the next few weeks and start sharing that research.
I'll start with her last one: Watercress. Eat it.

Another New Thing!
What a week!
Yoplait has done it again - Splitz. Three new dessert flavors masking all the goodness of yogurt.
I had the Rainbow Sherbet yesterday at lunch and will have the Strawberry Sundae this morning. I'm probably going to skip the banana split. Not a fan in real life and so many yogurts have Strawberry Banana flavors and I just don't care for those. Banana yogurt just seems wrong somehow.
It took a long time for me to like yogurt. Matter of fact, it took being desperately hungry on a long flight one time for me to even try it. I was looking at a "snack box" for breakfast and there was very little in there I was interested in. But the yogurt was Yoplait Custard Style. No fruit on the bottom that had to be chewed. No runny melted ice cream looking yogurt. Good solid yogurt that I thought I could at least tolerate if it just slid down my throat and didn't require any actual eating.
Turns out it was good. Very good, in fact.
Which goes to show you that sometimes you just gotta step out of that comfort zone and give something new a whirl.
So, now I eat a lot of yogurt. Mostly Yoplait. I still don't really care for the ones that have real fruit that you stir up. I like the thick kinds that are more dessert-like than yogurt-like.
So, a growing girl can never get enough calcium. I take the supplements but it's always always always better if you can get your nutrition from foods.
So, add it to you grocery list this week and see what you think.
And have a great weekend. Should be a good one so get outside and get moving - and easy on those football snacks. :)
