May Exercise Accountability

**babybluejay1** · 05-01-2007 12:44 PM

Hi gang!! Today I'm walking 8 miles, playing some baseball with my kids this evening and then Wii games. Have a good day and I hope someone benefits from this article.

The Right Attitude*
Do you have what it takes to reach your weight-loss goals? If you think
it's all about diet and exercise, you're wrong. It sounds crazy, I know.
Exercise and a proper diet is crucial to any weight-loss and fitness
Program. But, to reach any long term goal ? especially one that requires
Major lifestyle change ? you'll need to improve your attitude, too. You
Can have all the external support in the world, but if your self esteem
Is in the toilet, you'll never have long-term success.

Having the right attitude is so important because thought /is/ behavior.
The power of the mind is total ? the way you think about yourself
Manifests as your reality. We all know how easily negative thoughts can
Lead to lack of confidence, hopelessness, and depression. You've heard
About self-fulfilling prophecy, right? Well, if you tell yourself that
You'll always be fat or never find happiness, chances are you'll end up
Fat and unhappy. Hey, it makes sense.

Okay, let's turn that scenario around. Tell yourself that you /can/ get
Fit and you /will/ be happy. It's that simple. You can master your own
Fate with positive thinking!

hi heather!! you are doing so well! i saw pics of your DARLING boys in your journal. they are just precious!

well i'm on day 8 of south beach ... really feeling the "flu" symptoms - physically tired, a little achey, etc. but i know that's good b/c i'm doing it right, LOL. i know i'll have a ton of energy in about a week or so, but right now my workouts are really suffering...

5/4: ran 5.5 miles
5/5: ran 4 miles, biked 20 mins
5/6: ran 4 miles, biked 20 mins, lifted chest
5/7: biked 30 mins, ran 20 mins, elliptical 20 mins, lifted back
(you can see that i'm having trouble keeping up enough energy to finish my six mile runs, LOL.)

Thanks Carrie on my kids picture compliments!!

Good job on the exercise Carrie and Carolyn! Hope that you feel better soon Carrie. You are still doing great on the exercise!

**LindaLJ** · 05-08-2007 06:11 PM

wow sounds like everyone is doing so great! keep up the great work. I guess its time for me to at least 'think' about increasing my walks to 45 min instead of 30 every little bit helps eh?

Just a quick stop. I'm hoping to get in my upper body workout tonight. Did 2 mils on my treadmill and decided JUST NOW

to get my butt in the shower so I don't embarrass my ds walking him home from school. Got to run to leave early. My 3 year old just got a bike with training wheels I'll have him try out today.

**CarolynInTexas** · 05-11-2007 11:17 AM

5/10 water volleyball (didn't get up for wateraerobics that morning, tossed and turned...)
