Spring Equals Changes!

So, spring is the time of rebirth in the yearly cycle. After the silence and hibernation of winter, we are now coming out again. And part of that is change of clothes and losing some of our hibernation weight. Go to ucandoweightloss2.com Have you had that panic feeling when you are trying to try on different lighter-weight clothes? I know for me, I still remember that feeling - mostly because styles have changed between seasons. I am used to the cover up of sweaters in the winter - what happens when those are gone. Oooh, panic. But when we make positive changes and begin being healthy and moving, we don't have to worry about that as much. It is totally about changing a mindset, not about focusing on losing weight. See yourself as a healthy person, eating and acting healthy. Your ideal weight may not be the same as others, don't focus just on the pounds, focus on being healthy and feeling good.
Again, baby steps to positive changes. You don't have to make drastic changes. So make your choice about where to start and start now.

How's your success?

I came up with something that's very helpful. I have a friend who joined a virtual triathlon, as in the people who want to participate can do so online with keeping track of their miles. That way, everyone can do the exercise when they can, but record it and have competition. This is called the Lazy Man Triathlon and appears to be part of a YMCA program. So the one I sponsored includes 112 miles on the bike, 26 miles for walking/running, and 2.5 miles for swimming. I have found it to be very exciting and helps me because I respond to peer pressure. So I make myself do the work because I would feel bad if I didn't. I really think this is a good process for me. I am also a participant in a Health Department Women Out Walking (WOW) which involves pedometers for women and goals, etc. for teams but again, if we can't all get out walking at the same time, that's okay - we can record our times, etc. and reach goals. Again a positive experience that will work for me. What works for you? Whatever it is, try it, no, commit to it. Keep on moving!! and check out my website at ucandoweightloss2.com.

Feeling Great Body!!

How is the attitude change going about gaining the fantastic body (and by that, I do not mean "perfect body"). Attitude means focusing on the positives, not losing weight - remember, what we focus on is what we get - at that, we'll always be "losing".
I have set a goal of a "virtual triathlon" - I believe the YMCA is sponsoring something like it.
Anyway, it is perfect for me - I have rounded up some buddies and we are all working together to compete the triathlon. The trick is, we have 5 weeks to do so. I have found myself very motivated to go to the gym for this purpose. And, yes, peer pressure does help me, i'm ashamed to say:)
I'm going to have to stretch myself more than usual to accomplish this but it is doable and I feel very good about it. Also, for me, better than just setting a goal of losing weight it is setting a goal of getting healthier and in better shape.
So, cheer me along. If you'd like to take the challenge, we are doing 112 miles on a bike, 26 miles walking/running, and 2.5 miles swimming in 5 weeks. Yes, it can be done!!
