WEEK ONE!!!!!!! Yea Buddy!!!!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh yea!!!!! Here WE go!

I know that some of you are already off to a great start!! What all have you did today? I hit the weight room bright and early and plan to do some Insantity Pure Cardio later on this afternoon ....and yes, the DVDS are INSANE :sad: !!! (happy tears though :wink: )

Remember to "Plan and Prepare", Fit-N-FAbs!! For example, I use "Food Alarms" to remind me to eat because I think that it's important to eat before I get the "hunger pangs" and here's why: "Common sense tells us that hunger is the body's signal that we should eat. But some experts believe we should be eating before hunger can strike.

The rationale: when we are hungry, we are more likely to overeat. If we're also feeling sleepy or weak, we may also tend to eat the wrong kinds of food - caffeinated or sugary foods that will give us a burst of energy, but only briefly.

Eating proactively rather than reacting to our body's need can, theoretically, give us the opportunity to keep our bodies fueled so that hunger, fatigue, crankiness or other feelings don't get in the way of our going about our business.

Unconscious eating tends to lead to increased calorie consumption. Set aside specific time to eat your meals without reading a book or magazine, watching tv or working on the computer. This way you will savor and appreciate your foods, and also know when you have reached a healthy level of satiety - meaning you stop eating before you are stuffed.

Now that's food for thought."

To end, I want for everyone to KEEP POSTING how their days are going !!! You CAN and you WILL do this!!!

Have a Fitabulous day,
Kris

    Other than the injury.... you ladies are sounding great!! So sorry to hear about that :frown: . Hopefully, you'll be okay. If you have to stay off of it, I will find you some upper-body workouts so that you can continue with us :smile:

    In regards to checking-in, what you ladies are doing is perfect! I will be posting every Monday like I did today.... so feel free to check-in by posting in the topic. For example, next week I'll post, "Week Two" and so on and so on! And basically ... I just want to know that you are still alive and what you've been up too!

    But have a good evening and I'll be checking-in tomorrow!

    So sorry to hear that ... but you can definitely still participate in the Challenge. In turn, be sure to click this link http://www.ehow.com/how_5669543_exercise-broken-ankle.html to learn about "How to Exercise With a Broken Ankle" ... and then, this link shows demos on Upper Body Workouts http://www.theundergroundbootcamp.com/fitness/top-10-most-effective-upper-body-exercises-for-women/.

    Both sites should be VERY helpful!!! :smile:
