Days 8,9,10,&11

Sorry I haven't posted in so long! I worked three evenings in a row, and boy did it tire me out. I stayed with my diet, and I managed to exercise all three days. I think I like the Jillian Michaels Power Sculpt over the 30 Day Shred.

I have been eating alot more lean protein. I really like that it keeps me fuller longer, and that it doesn't make me feel so weighed down. Also I have been also trying to get more vegatables into my diet. I like to also eat what I like to call "clean". Eating more raw fruits and veggies makes me feel better through out the day. Not so many processed foods is starting to pay off I think.

Yesterday was National Dog Day, so I took the pets for a walk. It was wonderfull outside, hot and sunny, but with a light breeze coming off the lake.I find that I have so much energy and I have been in such a good mood. It's like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders that I didn't even realize that was there. I have been sleeping better, and I think all around I am more pleasant to be around.

I started a new job, and I think that is helping me with my weight loss as well. I usually don't get to sit down from 4:30 p.m. until the time I leave at 11:00 p.m. That adds up to a lot of walking, bending, lifting, and twisting. Aerobics! All those lovely ladies tell me I'm beautiful as well, which makes me smile, and some of the things they say really makes me laugh!

I think everyday, not only should people make it a point to do something for a half hour , weather it be walking, running, or weight lifting, they should also make it a point to laugh and smile, especially about the little things in life. I work with people with Alzheimer's and Dementia, and one of the best things to fight off diseases such as these is to challenge your brain, be spontaneous, and exercise. Well, I'm hoping that I can continue with my challenge, time for a good night rest though :) Sleep well all!
