Focus on the right things!

So going with my Not giving up plan -- I found this little buddy (above) and I thought it was pretty fitting.

So, part one of my plan is as follows: This weekend, I will weigh, measure, and take pics of my self and then the scale is bye bye.

I am thinking I will do 9 weeks to revisit the scale and measurements.

9 weeks is the Dirty Girl Race - so I figure that is a good focus point.

That is part one of my plan.

I will move one to part two tomorrow.

Check back often!

Active Kids become Active Adults

What do you do to engage your kids in physical activities?

As long as you are breathing, it's never too late!

 

One decision does not make or break you.

It is what you do over and over.

 

If you have a slip up, get over it, keep going!

 

Mistakes may happen, but that does not mean it is the end of the world!

 

You have the power to choose what your next move is.

 

 

How to do a Basic Squat

11 weeks until race time!

I have been doing squats at work to get some leg work in since I sit at a desk all day.

So here is a picture that indicates the correct form for a squat.

Chest up - Feet shoulder width apart - knees directly over toes - continual line from head to bottom

I do them in sets of ten. Add a kettleball for intensity!

Squat Challenge

So, I had seen a squat challenge on another blog, so I thought, why not?

They started March 1 and slowly increased their amount daily. Well, seeing as I was starting on March 25 - I decided, I was just to put the max on a sheet and see what I could do everyday.

Day 1 - I did 90 ~  day 2 - I did 210 ~ today - day 3, I finished the sheet!

320!

I do 10 sqat reps and do them anywhere I can in my office.

I tend to do a lot in the bathroom.

But let me tell you, I don't care where I do them. This is great.

I work at a desk all day and the sitting is killing me.

KILLING ME!!

 Literally, I feel like I am dying a slow, horrible death.

This gets me up and moving a lot more! So, here is the sheet if you would like to try your own squat challenge. Or push ups, situps, curls, jumping jacks....

Or anything that gets you moving more!
