Ch-Ch-Ch Changes

This week has been good. I haven't exercised as much as i probably should have -4/7 days. I aim for something every day, but don't beat myself up if i miss a day. Stuff happens.
I decided that Just Dance was getting a bit easy [still tough if i choose all the fast paced songs. But if i do just them i usually get uncoordinated and end up falling over lol] So i made up some sort of boot camp routine for my back yard. I did it this morning, twice, and it lasted 25 mins. Better tweak that to make it last longer. And apparently i'm a bit precious and need an exercise mat coz the ground was uneven and things were sticking into me...*trails off in a pouty, whiny voice*
This weeks support group meeting was good. 5 people again [6 if you count John, Listening from his computer desk in the corner] And we talked about what exercise we are doing and this coming weeks goals, And we showed off our motivation cork boards to each other. They were lovely!
Here's mine so far...

[First thing i can see is that ugly glue coming through the paper, bah!] The butterflies around the edges represent new life. I want to buy some of those shoes when i can. There's a pic of people hiking coz i really want to hike. At the moment hills are too much, but not for long. There's a list of affirmations to say to myself under the word "WIN", And a juice recipe for a natural energy boost that i want to try, and if i like it, have it each morning. I'll gradually fill this board :o)


Today was my first day without my precious low carb Mother energy drinks. They are officially off the menu and i won't be buying them anymore. Today i replaced them with Pepsi Max, but i won't be transferring the habit, All though Pepsi Max was my choice of drink before i discovered Mother, It makes me sick if i drink too much now. I did ok today without it, but i know tomorrow i'll miss it. Last time i gave it up i felt like my blood was being drained from my veins! Sad isn't it? That it can have THAT effect!


Me after drinking my last can :o/

This week i lost 1.9 kilos, but because of that kilo gain last week, i'm only claiming .9 [1.9lbs] of that, and i'm happy with that. Making my total loss this year 8.3 [18.3lbs]


Yay!

I like pepsi max way better than energy drinks. Good luck with your transition.

I'm intrigued with what the drink recipe on your board is!

I sort of did the same thing as your with hiking a couple of years ago. It was something I wanted to do and I put a picture and the word 'Hike' on my old vision board. Now I'm able to do it and somehow ended up living across the road from the hiking trial we used to drive to. Freaky!!

I'll post the drink recipe on The Bod Squad Sarah :o)
It would be awesome having a hiking trail across the road! Do you use it much?

I've used it this week now that it's cool again. No snakes! It's quite steep going up and makes me pooped:)

The hiking trail also continues on a flat path near my house. That's where I ride my bike and walk most days.

It truly is sent to me by the universe.
