Ok - so I've made it to Day 5 of "Get Fit After 40 Summer Challenge". I'm feeling incredible!!! I just have to vamp up the exercise. I've managed to exercise 3 out of the 5 days. For 2 days I exercised for 45 minutes and then today I've exercised for 10 minutes.
The program that I chose to follow is Richard Simmon's Foodmover. I've got my foodmover set to "Blast Off". I've done very well on "Blast Off". I'm going to move up to the calorie card that coordinates with my weight after "Blast Off". For those of you who don't know "Blast Off" is the first week and then you go to the calorie card that corresponds with your weight.
I've been thinking though. (I know - Uh-oh!!! LOL) I'm really in a great mindset this week about food and exercise. I've been through this before and somehow always seem to lose touch with my mindset in week 2. I'm trying to think how I can keep this awesome feeling and get to goal.
I've got to stay focused!!! I've got to get back to goal!!! I have 83 pounds to lose!!!
Any ideas??? I'm open to ideas and suggestions!!!
Thank you all in advance for your thoughts, love and support!!! I really do appreciate it!!

Get Fit After 40 Summer 15 Pound Challenge Begins!!!!
This is it!!! Today is Day 1 of "Get Fit After 40 Summer 15 Pound Challenge"!!!! I'm excited, nervous and scared all at the same time!!
Excited because this challenge is just what I need to help me lose some weight. It gives me accountability, support and something to work toward.
Nervous because what if I fail!!! Will I let all the others participating in the challenge down? Will I look bad if I fail??
Scared because I'm wondering if I can really do it. I've tried to do it before in the last few months and after one week it all goes to the wayside. Will it be the same this time???
I'm just going to take the challenge one day at a time. If I can't handle one day at a time I'm going to take it one meal at a time.
As for exercise - I'm going to remember how good it feels after I exercise to get me motivated to do it. I do feel awesome after exercising and I sleep a whole lot better. Exercise also keeps me motivate to eat right. I feel like I'm doing something good for my body by exercise so I want to put good food into my body also.
SO - here it goes!!! Day One of the challenge!!! I'll let you know how it goes!!!
