My morning brain has started catching on to what is in store each morning, so getting up to do them has been a little rough this week, but I've still managed to kick my a** out of bed. I've had a couple late nights for homework and work but when I'm running late I still manage to do 20 minutes of cardio.I have been going up and down the two flights of stairs at work more to compensate a little. I have a weigh-in coming up on Saturday. Not sure if I will want to kiss or punch my Wii Balance Board, but we shall find out. I have been weighing in everyday and it is not looking like this will be a loss week, but I will try and trick my awake brain into a second workout tonight. I know I probably shouldn't weigh in every morning, but when I'm not using the Wii Fit Plus to workout I still don't want to miss my Mii's fist punch when I check in for the day.
I’ve seen a lot of "small" ways to help with weight loss, you can modify your everyday activities to burn more calories throughout the day.
- Take the stairs instead of the elevator
- Park far away from the store
- Take a lap around the grocery store before shopping
- Do leg lifts while sitting at your desk
- Crunches while watching TV
- Take my cats for a walk (my mom so wants a picture)
There is a long hallway (think The Shining) that I go through to get to the break room. I’ve started upping my pace on how fast I am walking down this bright white hallway. Who knows, before you know it, my co-workers may have the joy of watching my swishing butt speed walking down the hall.
BTW, I am completely psyched about now receiving some comments on my blog - for a some days I felt like a weight loss blog loser. Reminded me a lot of high school. Reading and lamenting about how awesome other people's blogs were, hoping they might look my way...and some of them have! Thanks to you commenters I feel like I have a blog-a-sphere home. I will try to keep it interesting and updated.
You have a good blog. Sometimes it takes time to get readers, but I think you're on your way.
ReplyDeleteI dont know how you think you wont have a loss this week.....you are doing everything JUST RIGHT! Good for you! Your awake brain is in the right mode! And I would like to see a pic of you walking your cats too! LOL
ReplyDeleteIt takes time to build up readers. Don't worry it will come. I haven't been blogging that long, but one thing I have learned quickly...don't compare yourself to others. Chances are there will always be someone funnier, crazier, wittier, smarter whatever...so just do your thing and don't worry about it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the above comments entirely.
ReplyDeleteI remember when I first started and saw all the followers and comments some of the blogs got and I would say to myself "I will never have that many people following MY blog" and low and behold I have 219 followers. DM said it best though - do your thing and don't worry about it.
P.S. A good way to get more readers is to bounce around some of the blogs and leave comments.
