No Excuses Quote of the Day!

"It is our attitude at the beginning of a difficult task
which, more than anything else, will affect it’s
successful outcome." - William James

If not now, when?

New Years Day is 15 weeks from tomorrow – so we are
now 37 weeks into 2011.

Take a minute or two to consider what your New Years’
Resolutions were for 2011 and if you have accomplished
them.

Now I have a challenge for you:

I want you to take a few minutes right now (not later
today, not tomorrow – right now) to consider what you
have been thinking about starting to do (lose 50
pounds, walk your first 5K, run your first marathon,
etc.) and commit to Starting Right Now!

We all have things we talk about doing but most of us
keep putting them off and never make them happen. 

We let the days become months become years become
unmet fitness and weight loss goals.

But the key question is:

If not now, when? 

Honestly, think about it for a minute.

We don't live forever and we are not getting any younger. 

I am not saying this to drag you down, but to cut to the
chase and make you realize that every day we let pass
that we are not chasing down our dreams and goals is
another day lost. 

And once a day passes you can't get it back.

If not now, when?


Hope you don't mind me sharing. I find it motivating.

@Helen-your uncle sounds like he lived in Pocatello or Burley? Small world. I live by Twin Falls. Good luck on the Utes job. Hope you get it:)
@Daisy-love the payment idea. Hope it keeps you on track.
@Badbrat-I often wonder what your name really is:) Nice on the job!
@Deb- I too have rediscovered sweets in the form of Coke. I am off it again tomorrow. I was/am too fit to go back to fat.

For me, being busy CAN NOT be my excuse. It just can't. I have got to get my **** together. It has been a HORRIBLE eating and NO exercise week. I know better. I have eaten crap, and feel tired and yucky. Duh. I haven't been logging my calories, and I am not sure what to do about that, just because I can't log in at work and just don't have the 10-20 minutes to catch up at night or the morning. Next week is homecoming, so will be crazy. But NO EXCUSES! I have to do it. I will exercise tomorrow before the boys' games. Have a great week all.

My name is Jessie. I thought I put it in the introduction part when we first started this, but I can't remember. But my name is Jessie. I am one of the nicest most angelic people you will ever meet. LOL. Who am I trying to fool?

Congrats Helen!! I am very excited for you! I know everything will work out as far as your schedule. Just give it time and don't stress over it too much. . As far as the schedule goes. I am fine with keeping the same one again this week. I was just getting the hang of it. Lets go for 7/7!! Of water anyways. I always take Sunday off of exercise!

Totally forgot my pushups yesterday. I'm going to have to make it up!

Have a great Sunday and don't forget your water!!

@Jessie-I would log in during awake hours. But isn't it all kinda the same? You don't eat or drink while sleeping.
@Helen-woo hoo! Welcome to the craziness that is a full time job! That is so cool:) You will do great. If you have been reading my posts, then you know the food and exercise thing is a challenge. Depending on what time you have to leave for work, the morning is sometimes the best to get up and workout. Especially because the kids are sleeping and can't bother you:) Getting everyone ready is the next challenge. I am fortunate that my husband is home in the morning while I have practice in the a.m., so I don't have to worry about the kids getting ready and getting to school. Which reminds me, gotta go get lunch and my snacks ready.
My challenge this week is to get water, get in three hard workouts in the morning on game days, eat decent and log my food intake. Did I mention it is homecoming? Haha...I can do it:)

Jessie, you will have to figure out what works best for you. I always logged midnight to midnight as I didn't get good sleep during the day, and didn't usually work back to back. I tend to get hungry at 6 am too so that didn't help when I finished up my calories at 3...

Tomorrow is the beginning of a new week. Lets bring it and exercise first thing! We can show a loss! (I will probably be the same in the morning, I hope so-I don't want to gain, but after all my stress this week that is entirely possible!)

NEW CHALLENGES FOR THE WEEK!

It's a new week, so it's time for new challenges. First, a little inspiration. Here are the winners from last season's Biggest Loser, sisters Olivia (1st place) and Hannah (2nd place). These ladies are AMAZING! I haven't watched BL in a couple years and decided to watch the episodes online. I just fell in love with these sisters!

BEFORE and AFTER:


THESE are the results you get with discipline and hard work. They started out MUCH HEAVIER than we are right now. And if they can look like this, why not us? Let's tap into our hidden potentials!

*************************WEEK CHALLENGES**************************

EXERCISE -- Make a plan, and stick to it! We have busy moms, some starting new jobs, some getting over sicknesses, and it's easy to fall off track. Let's stay focused! Only have 10 minutes? USE THEM! Any calorie burns will make a difference with your energy levels and keep you motivated to watch your calories. Create your individual goal for how many minutes you want to workout this week, and DO IT!

FOOD -- Limit your sweets/treats to only 700 calories this week. I just read an article that said, "Embrace your sugar cravings!" People who reported eating candy and chocolate tended to weigh less and have smaller waists than those who didn't eat it. Moderation is the KEY. They recommend a 100-calorie serving daily. Either have a small treat a day, or save up for a big dessert on the weekend. Either way, 700 calories is the limit!

**********************************************************************

I'm aiming for 240 minutes of exercise this week. It's my last week to burn it up before starting work next week!

And don't forget to watch The Biggest Loser! The new season starts tomorrow, and you can watch the episodes for free online at nbc.com in case you miss it.

Can't wait til I have before and after pics! Hopefully I will look that good!

Did a pushup test today, 34 from the knees of course, but that is pretty awesome, the hundred pushup challenge is improving me! I am going to pickup where I left off tomorrow. How are you doing with it?

I already allowed myself a treat when I wasn't going to. My willpower isn't so good. It was sitting there staring at me and I had to eat it.

Did my measurements also. A little depressing, but the good thing is I can improve them. When was the last time you all measured yourselves? It can be eye opening. My bust, waist and hips are all within an inch of each other. I am determined that I am going to get an hourglass figure!
