Shake things up!

One way to stay motivated is to not let your routine get the best of you. Yes it is nice to have structure, but if you do the same things day in and day out you are going to implode! Boredom is one of the biggest diet killers out there because, let’s face it, running on a treadmill for a minute feels like an hour and an hour feels like… well… hell.

It’s all about keeping yourself engaged. How to do that varies with your personality. Sometimes all it takes is a new play list or maybe putting on your favorite TV show while you hit the elliptical. Better still ditch your normal routine every now and then and do something really off the beaten path. Try taking a dance class, water aerobics at the local YMCA, paint ball, fencing, anything that makes you sweat and brings a smile to your face! Tonight I am going to try pole dancing – yup I am going to tap into my inner diva and let ‘er rip (www.total-woman.net ). Stay tuned for review and have a great week!

My Itty Bitty Teeny Weenie 5 week Challenge

Say that 5 times fast! No really… try it!

Okay, okay lame I know, but it’s all about taking things one step at a time. So I am going to do just that – 5 weeks and 5 steps towards my goal.

Step 1 will be your focus during the first week, step 2 will be you focus for week 3 and so on and so forth through week 5. You get it – feel free to join me!

5 Week Goal: 

Lose at least one pants size 

Why I am working for this:

Size matters :) and I want to actually wear the cute clothes that I have in my closet.

  • STEP 1 (Starting Wednesday, February 16th): Track every bite I put into my mouth on my sparkpeople.com profile.
  •  STEP 2 (Starting Wednesday, February 23th): Workout at least one hour 3 days per week 
  • STEP 3 (Starting Wednesday, March 2nd): Drink all of my servings of water every day 
  • STEP 4 (Starting Wednesday, March 9th): Pack all of my lunches for work and keep meals on hand instead of falling for fast food temptation 
  • STEP 5 (Starting Wednesday, March 16th): Workout at least one hour a day 4 days per week 

My “YAY ME” reward: A one hour massage (I am going to need it after the workouts!) 

Its hard to remember no foodish rewards! If you do something like this try a night out with the girls, a massage, a new hairstyle, a new outfit, shopping, date night with the spouse, a new cd, dvd or anything else that you want to work.
