exercise... it does a body good...

there is one absolutely fantastic thing i can say about my results of the 24 day challenge, and my continuing use of the Advocare products.... i have the energy and motivation to exercise.... and it feels soooooo good when i do.

i got in the habit of exercising a couple of times a week during my challenge... 30 minutes here and there along with my Biggest Loser gam on XBox Kinect..... on a side note, there is no better motivator to lose weight than seeing your body silhouetted on that game...... i started with circuit training at a light level.... after the first week or so, i upped it to moderate intensity......  i increased it to 40 minutes... and this week i have increased it to 50 minutes.... and not only do i have the stamina to be able to last that long, but i can keep up the intensity too....

there are still a few exercised i still cannot do... like jumping jacks and jogging in place... but those are mainly because of physical limitations caused by my plantars fascitis in my feet, and the pain from my still existing belly and breasts bouncing... not exactly comfortable....... yet.  i am getting faster with the modified movement i am doing, but still ahve not been able to comfortable get the bounce in there.. lol

because of this... and the fact that sometimes i find myself wanting to kick Bob in the head... i decided to purchase an elliptical.... low impact, but full body workout, and i can listen to music or watch TV while i use it...... i am so excited for it to get here.... and once it does, i cannot wait to be able to exercise without wanting to kick Bob in the head..... .lol

i am also finding it very easy to continue eating melas the way i did during the 24 day challenge... and getting more creative everyday with my cooking.... i know my husband is enjoying the variety..

speaking of my husband... his challenge ends in a few days.  i am so excited to get to weight and measure him to see his progress.  he has not been exercising at all, so it will be interesting to see what eating right and taking the proper vitamins and supplements will do for him.... i will let you know.
