Workout - April 26

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

Today, I did 20 minutes of HIIT (yea!) followed by 20 minutes of walking. It

was actually a little tough, not because of the breathing, but 'cause my legs

were tired. Even though I didn't exercise for a few days, I did a lot of

activity, especially yesterday... carrying car tires, cleaning, baking, up and

down the stairs a lot, etc. Daily activities really do add up!

Hope everyone has a great Tuesday.

With love,

Yuna

They do add up. I am up to walking a mile in the am, another mile at lunch then

I try to do two more at night. It all adds up!! I try to get as much as I can

in now.

Great job,

Great Job !  Any exercise that's 10 minutes or more counts ... and

you're so right about the 'adding up'!  Do you wear a pedometer?

Read this I think from spark news and LOVED it. I found that most of them

applied to me so yes, there is progress even though I am overeating and the

scale has not budged in almost a year. I am eating mostly healthy foods and

getting in some exercise and getting more sleep. .

 

Sometimes the scale doesn’t budge and you wonder if you are getting any

healthier on your fitness plan. Well, here are 10 signs that you are!

1)You feel like taking on something new. That’s a great sign that you are

getting healthier. It shows a heightened energy level and more active mentality.

You are obviously ready for new challenges that you weren’t ready for before

you became fitter.

2)You notice a new pep in your step. Things are becoming easier for you. Gravity

isn’t pulling you to the ground as easily, and maybe your mood isn’t either.

You have some new resilience.

3)Your clothes are fitting differently. Maybe your clothes are looser; maybe

they are tighter over your growing muscles. Whichever way it is, be sure and

take note and dress to impress. Wearing the same old stuff from your closet that

no longer fits is discouraging. Wearing better fitting clothes, be they from a

store or a friend, will always make you feel and look better.

4)Your medical test scores are improving. My triglycerides, cholesterol, blood

sugar levels, and thyroid readings have all changed since I’ve lost weight.

Even when I plateau for months at a time (frustrating!), those tests tell me

I’m going in the right direction medically.

5)You start taking that one extra step. Usually the saying is to “Go the extra

mile.†I say “Go the extra step.†A mile is a long way, but if you even

find yourself having the energy to take that extra step, congratulate yourself.

You are building on something. A journey of a thousand miles starts with a

single step.

6)You look for ways to make other’s lives easier. If you are looking for ways

to pay it forward and make other’s lives easier, then your needs are met.

That’s a great sign! According to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, the basic

needs of a human have to be met in order to even consider outer social

relationships, such as kindness and love. In my opinion, if you find yourself

doing random acts of kindness, be assured you are blessed and well. I don’t

think we can afford to forget the connection of mind, body, and spirit as a

human whole in wellness.

7)You feel more positive and energetic. That is a natural by product of getting

healthier. The body starts working better and when it does, it releases feel

good chemicals in the brain, delivers energy to the cells more efficiently, and

you feel better day by day.

8)Your hair, skin and nails start to look marvelous. As a result of getting the

right nutrients into your body, your body will start to look better all over.

Not only will you lose/gain weight on a proper nutrition plan, but your hair,

skin and nails will start to look lustrous too. Have you ever had someone tell

you to take a certain supplement and your nails/hair will grow? Well, they

aren’t far off. Nutrients are known to feed the hair and nails, even though

they are technically dead. They still come from a living hair follicle and a

living nail bed. Skin is very much alive and in need of nutrients. After all,

look at how much skin you have.

9)You look forward to your workout time. This is definitely a good sign. Your

body is craving movement and the endorphins it brings. Endorphins are feel-good

chemicals released in the brain that bust stress during and after exercise. The

more you move the more you will crave moving. This will lead to a healthier

cardiovascular system, leaner muscles, a brighter mindset, and weight control.

10)You crave healthier fare. If you are starting to think a fresh banana sounds

better than banana chips, you are well on your way. Is your chocolate getting a

bit darker these days? Are you choosing food closer to its natural state or

cutting out soda and liking it? Good for you! Progress not perfection! Keep

changing the little things and the bigger lifestyle change will come.

As you can see, the scale is not the final decision maker as to whether you are

getting healthier on your health plan. YOU are. Look for and celebrate the

little things that you find new to your life.

love this too!  another reason not to let the scale rule your life -- there are

other indicators that you're on the right path and that your body is happy about

it!

Way to go ,

I think that we all have to find something that works for us and keeps us

motivated.

Eldred, in the end you need to find something that you will like doing. Maybe

you could bike or walk on the weekend or maybe try taking a class or doing a

short workout video when you get home at night. It helps to start out

slow...maybe ride your exercise bike 20 minutes at night or now that it gets

dark later, walk around your neighbourhood for 20 minutes. Just set small goals

and you might like it enough that you will start walking longer distances.

After my dad had his heart attack the doctor suggested he walk. I went with him

every night. In the beginning he hated it and we walked 10-15 minutes in the

morning and another 10-15 minutes at night. The first week he grumbled while we

walked.....However, slowly he grew to love it and ended up walking for an hour

every night. He got to a point where he hated missing his walk. Planned his

whole day around it and often took walks in the morning too. He even bought a

treadmill! He loved how good he felt afterwards!!

So even if you hate doing sth why don't you give it a chance by starting out

really small???
