Welcome!!

For 2008, as probably many of you, I have made a resolution to work out on a regular basis and get myself in shape. No more excuses about no time and nothing to do - I am going to make the time and use my resources to work out! However, nothing motivates more than friends. So here on this blog, we are going to motivate each other. I will post exercise and nutritional tricks, tips, and hints that hopefully will help you and I keep our resolution to work out. Feel free to post your comments, ideas and share your progress. Let's shape up together! - Stephanie

Goals

O.K. - so I've realized this blog has gotten a bit informal - so let's get talking. They say when you make your goals, you should let someone else know them as well so you are held accountable to someone else besides yourself. So what are your exercise and eating goals?

My exercise goal since the beginning of the year is to work out 3-4 times a week for at least 30 minutes. I've been keeping up on it so far, and I'm going to add a goal to strength train at least three times a week. My eating goal is to incorporate more fruits and veggies into my diet (which means instead of reaching for the Girl Scout cookies, I should reach for an apple, banana, carrots, etc.). Now that you know my goals, I'm counting on all of you to keep me accountable!!

Your turn!!

My goal: to keep progressing with exercise. To get to where I exercise 4-5 times a week and on my days off I do some activity with the kids that make my heart rate go up for a while. I'm currently working out only 1-2 times a week, but it's progress from nothing. I also want to eat better and get rid of my munching on empty calories habit.

My goal is 5 times a week to exercise, 3 is strength training and 2 are cardio. I know it should be the opposite, but i can't pay anymore for child care at the gym! I also am eating healier- we always have a veggie with dinner, and everyone has to eat it, or no dessert. We don't have dessert every night, so you have to eat it and find out if you'll get the yummy reward. You can bet I'm mean and if someone doesn't eat their veggies, I'll find something for a quick dessert and the lesson is learned for that child, and it shows the kids I'm not kidding. I have lost 10-12 pounds, I don't weigh myself often, so it's somewhere in there, and A whole lot of inches! I wish I could see the results though! So many people keep telling me I look great and they can see it in my face and body- when I tell them I don't see it they are shocked. Is this some weird phsyco thing we women do to ourselves?!
Since the weather is warming up, and when my husband isn't traveling, I will also start walking agin at night 3-4 times, so I better start seeing major results!!

Alright, i'm joining the shapin up bandwagon. My goal for now is to do at least 20 minutes of exercise daily and drink water, no juices. I hope it helps motivate me further!
