Danielle Week 1

This is week 1 for me too! I am doing BeachBody.com's Slim in 6 program with a few others on the beachbody message boards. Its a DVD workout with some online tools and support you can use if you want to. Working with others towards a common goal is always easier than going it alone!

The best thing about it is that the workouts start out at 25 min, and gradually get harder and longer. So for now I'm doing good but then I'm only 1 day in! Even on the easy workout I could not do everything the instructor did. Shows how out of shape I have become!

Not making any life altering changes to my diet yet, one thing at a time. As they say on BeachBody.... Just Press Play!

Diet 2008 - Week 1.

There's more details on my blog over here - but just thought I'd let everyone know that I'm down 2 lbs this week.

Only 8.6 million more to go. :)

My fitday journal is up to date - so check it out; workouts and all (or lack thereof.... ).

I'm aiming for 160 by 8/1. That means I have to lose about 1.77 lbs/week. Should be a sinch if I can stick with it.

I made some killer sweet-n-sour chicken last night. I'll have to post the recipe later this week - it was really great. Even the kids ate it - with a SALAD! YAY!

Oh - goal for this blog - post once a week from me. Daily posts on my personal page - hopefully!

Happy 2008 girls!

Happy Holidays

I am about a day away from my Christmas Vacation, so there might not be a lot of posts from me the next 2 weeks.

My other Authors can post though if they have any resolutions, or fitness tips for the holidays.

Evil Evil Goodie Day

Hello friends.

Anyone else have an office goodie day where there are chocholates and candies all over the office? And then for lunch we have a big potluck with food and food and food..... TONS.

Well mine was last week, and I am SO proud of myself for the restraint I showed. Don't get me wrong, what I ate would have blown any diet or calorie count for a sane day, but I did good!

For any mothers out there...

I found this article very interesting even though I don't have kids.

Also I saw Jerry Seinfeld's wife on The View a couple weeks ago plugging this book (#7 on the list). (Mel see the comment about pink pancakes, I bet Alley would love it!).

Lunch ideas?

I am looking for lunch ideas. I know a lot of you bring lunches everyday to work...I would like to be better about bringing in my lunch...but I am tired of sandwiches...what other things do you girls bring in?

Confession: Yesterday I had...

Yesterday I had...

Honey bunches of oats cereal
Arby's Big Beef and Cheddar combo with curls
8 oz prime rib w/Veggies and salad
Tall Screwdriver
2 pieces of fudge
the rest of a bag of Cheeto's (maybe 3 servings?)

Tuesday was even worse, so I wont reiterate here, but sometimes just confessing my bad habits helps.
