    Goal this week - Track everything everyday. Start working out!

    Today.
    Breakfast - cornbread and grapes
    Lunch - cheeseburger, apple sauce, orange,
    Snack - small mocha
    Dinner - (Way too much) homemade chilli and bread.
    Total - 2,009 calories. Too much for my energy and activity level today...

    Exercise - Nada, and back to the sedentary job... Not good.

    Water - only 30.

    Today is the start of winter pretty much. Not quite ready honestly.

    Oh my goodness. Slept horribly last night/due to a lot of wind noise... Today's going to be "interesting" as I feel like I didn't sleep at all. Ughhhh

    breakfast; grapefruit, weeds and seeds, raisin toast
    lunch: toasted tomato, cucumber, cheese, onion sandwich and 2 cookies
    dinner: not sure
    goal this week is to make sure I exercise 2x a day once in morning once in evening.

    it's been windy here as well. at least now all the leaves are off the trees, and the racking is done as of today. o:)

    Sweetpea - great job raking! I honestly try to wait till the wind takes away the leaves or snow covers them, but we don't have many trees that drop leaves at the same time.

    Training Tips Tuesday:
    Do a This or That workout. While even 10 minutes of purposeful exercise can greatly benefit your body, choosing littler ways of being more active can add up! Standing vs sitting. Stairs vs Elevator. Even just taking little breaks (to walk around) at work.

    - thanks, I hate raking, if I didn't like my tree so much in the summer it would be a goner:)
    kind of interesting that pushing a shopping cart burns more calories then carrying a basket.

    Despite all the good things from exercising, only about 30 percent of adult Americans report they get regular physical activity during their leisure time—and about 40 percent of Americans say they get no leisure-time physical activity at all.Researchers followed more than 50,000 middle-aged women for six years, surveying their diet and activity habits. They found that for every two hours the women spent watching television each day, they had a 23 percent higher risk of becoming obese and 14 percent higher risk of developing diabetes. Interestingly, it didn’t matter if the women were avid exercisers: The more television they watched, the more likely they were to gain weight or develop diabetes, regardless of how much leisure-time activity and walking they did!

    Scary!!!

    breakfast: grapefruit and raisin bagel
    lunch: soup/ crackers/ cheese and fibre 1 brownie
    dinner: not sure yet
    did a ballet sculpt workout this morning. I like it a lot it's hard and there is no jumping around. planning on doing 1/2 cardio when I get home from school.

    that is an interesting fact about tv. will have to see how much I really watch a day. I wonder if the results are the same for men.

    Thursday!

    Exercise - Purposely walked around again. I feel much better getting up than sitting at my desk... This desk is just wayyy too low.

    Food:
    Breakfast - croassiant sandwich. Not doing good in breakfast department mostly because I'm sleeping in too late.

    Lunch - swiss and mushroom hamburger with fries (didn't eat 3/4s of my fries!)

    Dinner - TBD (probably chilli)

    Water: 30oz again right now. Need to drink up the rest tonight.

    On a side note, I've been carrying a 40lb bag to refill a burner, 2x a day and I can feel it in my arms. This totally doesn't count as exercise, but it's kind of nice to be able to carry the 40lb bag and then also to know I'm working out my arms too. :)

    TGIF!

    Healthy and Happiness along with many other things - are CHOICES. This is hard to accept sometimes because there's so many things we cannot control. There are so many variables that are not us. But, it's the choices we make despite those things and even because of those things that ultimately affects our Health and Happiness.

    Choose to not let stress get the better of you
    Choose to eat a little better
    Choose to move a little more
    Choose to find a brighter side...

    Take Charge because it's Friday! And the week is nearly done!
