Woo WOO! So I won for the month? Thank you! Davina, you don't even know I prepare every week for move it monday! lol. I was wondering where today's installment was and was happy to find that I won for the month.
Congratulations Kayleen!! The thing that has been keeping me motivated is my coffee!! Odd huh? We recently bought one of those Tassimo single cup coffee makers. It is AWESOME!! I can make an amazing Macchiato at home!! BUT, i will not let myself have one unless i get my butt on the treadmill or in front of a work out DVD!! Even my kids know the rules!! They don't let me forget!! :)
Yay for Kayleen!! Here is my tip for the day. Music, good music always makes me feel great and gets me moving. Every year I pick a band for the year that I want to listen to more, last year it was The Cars, their music always makes me happy. This year it is Fleetwood Mac, they are oh-so-good! I think you need to feel happy on the inside before you can feel happy on the outside and amazing, upbeat music is a must for me. One of my favorite websites is pandora.com. You put in what band you want to listen to and it plays that band and band like them, so you hear lots of great stuff and learn about some new bands you never knew you loved!
Congratulations, Kayleen! Here's my tip tonight. Have a schedule for everything. And I mean everything. I map out and plan out every minute of everyday, including teeth brushing, showering, eating, breathing. It's the only way that I can make sure I balance out my day EVERY day and to set aside time to spend with my kids along with a healthy amount of work. ***looking at my computer clock*** Right now I am 27 minutes late for my kids' bedtime routine. Ghetes out!
I don't know if you're into video games but Wii fit is awesome! I've been using it on days when I haven't done anything else active. It's amazing fun.
Kayleen, Congrats! I'm so glad you're keeping up with Move it Monday!
Nicole, you were such a close runner up! I'm going to send you a little something...great idea to reward yourself after getting on the treadmill. Do you also have a non-food reward for yourself?
Deb, too true! Music is wonderful and that website sounds super cool!
Caroline, I hear you. A schedule can really help. I don't schedule every minute of my day because I get a little claustrophobic about schedules sometimes...and I like to change it up. :) I definitely do set a timer for some things though! As you saw in my recent post of my 15 minutes with my hubby!
Sharon, I've heard about Wii fit. It sounds awesome. I'm really against video games in a lot of ways but I have to say that Wii fit is very tempting!!!
Reading a book whilst I bike (in the gym of course!) helps me to bike longer than I generally intend ... books on MP3 are even better! :-)
girrrrrls...I have been such a slacker with move it mondays!!! I found out on Christmas that we're expecting. Now that nausea has passed, I'm back on track and doing my daily walks :) Thanks for the motivation ladies.
Ok, this ISN'T a suckup comment, but I totally just returned from the gym, and reading Rangefinder on the stationary bike ... I didn't realize 30 min, 9 miles and 230 calories had passed me by. I busted a move AND was educated about biz!
