AFFIRMATION:
Today I will NOT be afraid to try something new, as long as it is beneficial for my overall well-being!
My weight did not accumulate overnight.....so I will learn to be patient with myself.....not over do and harm myself....but instead..... be grateful for every gradual change towards a healthier ME! :flowerforyou:
****************************************************************************************************************************************
Good Morning!!
How is everyone doing! :flowerforyou:
Just say GREAT, and then make it happen!
Well I did something that should go in the record books for me: :bigsmile:
I started modified "PUSHUPS" .... 5 wall pushups, and 5 knee pushups...... after my stationary bike riding.
Trust me...THIS IS A MIRACLE FOR ME.
Being born with lung issues forced me to adapt to a very sedentary lifestyle from a tot. Steroids were a part of my life until 1999 when I decided...enough is enough!!! My faith, and the holistic choice of living saved my life when doctors thought I was finished!! I LOVE SHARING, AND ENCOURAGING OTHERS WHENEVER I CAN!
I'm not where I totally want to be, BUT THANK GOD I'M STILL ALIVE TO DREAM, AND SET GOALS!
My work keeps me more sedentary because the bulk of my day is sitting at a desk mentoring. (mainly single parents)
Lifestyle Changes:
1) I am starting my day even earlier (5am),
2) I have added excercise as a part of my devotional time
3) I AM PLANNING MY MEALS AHEAD OF TIME , SO THEY WON'T PLAN ME
(as much as a week IN ADVANCE) :bigsmile:
4) I will not be working into the late, late hours (as often) ....Use to keep appointments as late as 9pm....I know..MADNESS!
5) I will not be eating at my desk anymore AND will start taking a 1 hour lunch break, and two 15 min. devotional/excercise breaks. My office is in the home....I set my own hours....... so I can be very flexible.
I LOVE encouraging others, but it is time I add quality "ME" time to my schedule.
WILL YOU JOIN ME?
Lots of love .... ((hugs))
SMILE NOW!!
MAKE IT A BRIGHTER DAY!!!
WE CAN DO THIS!
Note: The more you weigh, the more energy you will use to push yourself up. That is why, according to Fatburn.com, a 200-lb. person will burn 13 calories in a minute of pushups. It might not sound like a lot, but a three-calorie increase (over the calorie total for a 150-pound person) is actually a lot for a minute of activity. A 200-lb. person will burn 64 calories in 5 minutes of pushups. Similarly, a lighter person will burn fewer calories doing pushups. A 130-lb. person will burn only eight calories during a minute of pushups, and 41 calories during 5 minutes.

Have you heard of planks? Those work on arms, core back & legs! It's similar to the push-up, you just hold in place without going down like you would with a push -up! So no push just holding your self up!! Lol!0
