I hear you on the husband thing. Dale is a lot taller than I am so when he is walking casually I am running. Ok maybe not running but walking my hiney off to keep up lol.
i know exactly what you mean about rewarding yourself....it doesnt really feel that good to me....but that might be part of the process of caring more about what I think than what other people think and doing this for ME. plus when i DO try to reward myself, all i can think of is FOOD...not the best reward for weight loss.
my husband is way faster than me too...a bit irritating.
it's really great that your time has gone up so much!!! keep it up!!! and i cant wait till your next video where you tell me you are in the TWO'S!!!!!
Hi Wendi, I found you through some other weight loss blogs as I have started myself.
I have yet to decide how to reward as well...since I've always done that with food and thats not really the point here, is it.
Here is my thought on a non-food reward, as I think that I will be doing this as well. I did see on another blog where the person put a * for every 5lbs lost in a side box. There was all these little ******** all lined up. It looked quite gratifying to see your weight loss quantified like that. Although, I think I'm going to go for every 1lbs lost so that I get to see more stars!! haha!
Welcome to my new blog. I've set up this blog in hopes that i will be selected to be a brand ambassador for Orthaheel. My name is Wendi, I am 38 years old. I have been married for 17 years and we have a 16 year old daughter. I own and run a staffing agency so I spend alot of time at my desk, since I have a desk job I don't get much exercise and am determinded to change that. One way or another.
Every relationship in your life is a current moving you toward your dreams or away from them. Not all friendships should be given the same value. You must recognize which ones are making deposits into your life and which ones are making withdrawals. Which ones increase you and which ones decrease you. Which ones feed you and which ones feed off of you. There are four types of people in your life: those who add, subtract, multiply, and divide. Your responsibility is to get away from those who are constantly criticizing, whining and complaining. Get close to those who add and multiply to your life, those who support you,encourage you, pray for you, coach you and even correct you. Avoid relationships with those who do not discern your worth.
brush my teeth (who wants to eat with freshly brushed teeth?)
call someone
CATCH UP ON MY PAPERWORK! (I really should be doing this anyway)
clean or organize something (I can get so caught up in getting something just right i forget about food)
clean out the birdbaths (I'll have the cleanest birdbaths in NE FL)
drink water (this is suppose to make me feel full anyway)
go lay in the hammock (this is so relaxing)
meditation or devotions
paint my nails (can't do anything, including eating, with wet nails)
play with the doggies (my babies are so full of energy!)
read (not my favorite thing to do)
sew ( I LOVE to sew, i could sit at my sewing table for hours and hours)
surf the net
sweep my porch (the leaves constantly are falling)
take a walk (and its good exercise)
Nonscale goals
- Someone notices there's less of me - I can cross my legs - My clothes fit me differently - I won't have heart burn EVERYDAY - My back won't hurt after walking only 5 minutes - I can wear my wedding band again - The seat belt doesn't lock everytime i put it on
(I will add more as i discover them)
Reasons to drink water
Women who drInk more than five glasses of water a day are 41% less likely to die from a heart attack.
Water is necessary for your body to digest and absorb vitamins and nutrients
Water is a natural appetite suppressant
Water detoxifies the liver and kidneys
Water carries away waste from the body
Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers
One glass of water shuts down midnight hunger pains for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University study
Lack of water is the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue
The brain is 74% water
Muscles are 75% water
Bone is 22% water
Blood is 83% water
Almost 2/3rds of our body weight is "water weight"
A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen
DRINKING WATER WILL
. . . Remove Toxins & Waste Products from your body
. . . Reduce Headaches and Dizziness
. . . Keep Skin Healthy and Glowing
. . . Increase Your Mental and Physical Performance

Don't get discouraged bout the lack of weightloss this week. Next week will be better :)
I have to say I love the video's you have made. It has encouraged me to put them on my private blog.
Thank you for sharing and I will pop back again to watch and read.
It is certainly encouraging to read about your journey.
