Spring Rejuvenation

Spring is springing into the Pacific Northwest!  Matthew and I took a long walk yesterday after I got off work and buds were everywhere!  It's the beginning again -


This time of year is rejuvenating, and I'm going to seize that energy!  I revised my guidelines and here goes:

1.  Follow Weight Watcher's Point System. (I have been doing the calorie count thing for the past few months and it's somehow not really working...at all.)
2.  Drink 64 ounces of water daily. (I have not been doing this very well over the past month making it seem that retaining water is a new found hobby.)
3.  Eat all food before 8 pm.  (I do not mean eat all food found in house before 8.  I'm simply saying that I need to stop eating about 3 hours before bedtime.)
4.  Exercise 5 days per week.  So many activities! http://youtu.be/U8N7h2p1Bko
5.  Eat breakfast, and take multivitamin daily.
6.  RECORD EVERYTHING!  (myfitnesspal.com has been helpful and made me realize this important aspect)


This all starts today!  Yes, it's a Wednesday, not a Monday, and I'm proud of it!  For exercise today, I'll be doing Walk Away the Pounds and one of the Jillian Michaels DVDs to make an hour's worth of exercise.  (I still have not lost my sights on taking iceskating lessons - it will happen later this year, and I really look forward to it!  I'll keep you posted!)

Sorry for beginning this over and over again on this blog - this hasn't been easy to change my lifestyle.  I'm just refusing to lose hope of getting it together, darn it!  The mantra needs to change from "I hope" to "I will".  When you have changed your lifestyle or accomplished goals, what has helped you on your journey the most?

I stole this from the fb wall of Coach Hidi's Beachbody Fitness Group!  Hidi Graff has been a extremely great motivator and inspires me constantly with her posts - thank you, Hidi!
