February Challenge

I am looking forward to accomplishing these goals.  I didn't make January's goal.  I lost thirteen out of the fifteen pounds I challenged myself with.  It's okay- I still did great.

I Am Getting Back On Track!

I Am Getting Back On Track!

     Today, I started off with my normal routine for the evening workout.  I went to the main gym and saw a couple, running together.  I admired their stamina and thought back to when I used to do the same thing- except alone.  I've never had a jogging/running buddy.

     So I climbed on the treadmill, set it to Intervals and got busy with my walk.  I was doing great but after the couple left, I felt kinda alone.  No one was in the computer room or working out with me.  I began thinking, 'Can I jog again?  Can I do it?'  Nobody was there, so if looked silly, no one would see me and laugh.

    

     I decided to challenge myself.  The last 15 minutes of my power walk, I cranked it up and... Viola!  I did it and wasn't winded or anything.  My knees didn't even ache!  I was so happy, that I decided to modify my February challenge.

     In the mornings, for my morning work-out, I am going to add jogging to it.  I will try one day a week and see how that works. If it flows, then I'll add another day after about three weeks.  If that moves well, then I'll continue adding days.

     I know that jogging on the treadmill versus pavement is different but for now, I'm happy.  I am more than happy, I'm elated.  Yay me!

Self-Confidence

     This Sunday's vlog post (www.alyssacreatingfromwithin.blogspot.com) topic is "Self-Confidence". Many want the perfect Barbie body but realistically, it's impossible. All we can do is Accept ourselves for who and what we are and then hold to Determination and Action. Soon enough, the body you truly desire will take shape and there will be nothing but a bright and shiny version of You on the Outside that matches the existing You on the Inside.

Creating From Within: The Beginning

     I wanted to give my viewers a brief background update.  This tells of how it all got started for me.  I hope you enjoy and remember to...

Making Exercise Fun - Week 4

Making Exercise Fun - Week 4

This week was really fun for me.  Granted I didn't lose anywhere near as much weight, I did lose and that's what I'm focusing on.

I have to remember that I celebrated my 10th Wedding Anniversary on Wednesday and Saturday, I went to TGI Friday's for a lunch date with my daughter and grand-children.  I made good decisions and I didn't take in anywhere near as much sodium.  I am proud of all of my decisions.

I also truly believe that had I not had two rather large events this week, I would have lost more.  Eight-tenths of a pound is close to one but still NOT a pound.  Oh well.  I'm happy.

I hope you enjoy this weeks vlog.  I displayed two ways I made exercise fun.  I also love to swim but the pool is closed until the end of the month.  I play with my son and grand-children, walk, power walk, work out on the elliptical and other weights in the gym as well as ride the recumbent bike.  I think that I love swimming the most.

I will be experimenting with other items as time goes by but this was just one way I like to do things.  I hope you enjoy the video; especially my comedic antics!
