Now that you know what your "new" style will be for October, or maybe you've just taken time to consider different options. How are you going to implement that into your already too busy schedule? Planning is a key, but we can sit and plan all day long, if we don't put legs on those plans we go no where.
For me, the additional swimming means I have to shorten my morning activities and schedule somethings in the afternoon...or drop the unimportant things...and that I have to be willing to do. I spend way too much time on the computer, and that alone will free up the extra time for swimming.
Journaling, means taking 10 minutes in the AM and PM to write things down....that I am willing to do.
Fruits and Vegetables: Well, I have to do some cookbook hunting for recipes for cooking the new vegetables, if they have to be cooked, that will add to my collection of good things to eat. Fruits won't be too hard, it's just being able to find new ones...and maybe some new recipes.
So put those legs on your "new" plans and get moving. Have a great Sunday!

I started today by signing up for babyfit, its similar to fitday. Now I'm not necessarily needing it right now, it will be a month or so before I know. I just want to err on the side of caution. I set up a meal plan for the week, and grocery shopped. I entered in todays food and came pretty close to the recommended levels of everything.
Ok inside I am so hoping that I'm going to need this food plan for a while, but i know I may not. But it seems like a good place to start. The site also has exercise recomendations that you log in. The site also awards points for different things like logging food, drinking your water, exercising. Built in reward system.

I am doing some research to help me plan a 20 minute weight routine. I am planning to alternate strength with my treadmill workouts.
I am also working with DH on a plan to simplify the housework and giving us more time to spend doing active activities as a family. We spend way too much time in front of the computers and it shows.
Enjoy every minute!

Goals for April: Exercise 3 times a week. Drink more water everyday.
Long Term Goal: Weigh-in at 180 lbs by my next Birthday. (Sept-13/06)
Well, I already sent an email to the dietician I found on the ADA website and waiting on her reply. I'll probably contact one of the other 2 ladies Tuesday (DS has a dentist appt. tomorrow).
I will sit down tomorrow afternoon when DS takes a nap (I hope ) and make a grocery list by at least planning my supper meals.
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday evenings, I will go upstairs and workout with weights.
Monday evening I will walk/run on the treadmill. Wednesday (DS will be at a sitter), I will walk/run outside...weather permitting. Friday - treadmill.
I need to work journaling in also but I may try to make a plan for that next week. I'll try to post to FitDay whenever I can get a chance though.
Water, water, water and concentrate on the "6 small meals" instead of "3 large meals" that my Dr. suggested. (I've already got the daily water goin' on )
