FLYBODY - Oct 1 - 7

I had an interesting week. I listened to the Jonathan Roche show on BTR Wednesday. I'm intrigued with the subject of intervals. So I've changed my workouts using some of Jonathan's suggestions:

Monday: 25 minute interval workout (I'll walk the mile loop I've been walking but do intervals)

Tuesday: No Excuses Work Out (sit ups, push ups, etc.)

Wednesday: 25 minute interval workout

Thursday: NEWO

Friday: 25 minute interval workout

Saturday: long walk (2 miles)

Sunday: day off

It's weird having a day off today. I'm looking forward to my walk tomorrow because I'm listening to a book on tape (Stephen King) and I want to get back to it. I only listen when I walk.

Still having smoothies for breakfast after my walks. I switched to cherries instead of raspberries for now. It's still yummy.

I've lost a bit over 20 pounds now. Go Me!

DH and I are really cutting expenses right now so I'm not using the BCMM every week. I shop about every three weeks and the food seems to last about that long since there are just the two of us (it's set up for 2 servings but it's still a lot for us). Still enjoying the new recipes. Our favorite has been a chicken stir fry. Yum-mee!

It feels good to see progress in the body clutter area.

WAY TO GO SAMANTHA!!!! 20 pounds is a lot and you are rocking the daily workouts. CONGRATS skinny mini!

I was slacking on the walks but I am all over them again. I figured out why - I cancelled my bi-monthly chiro and massages so every time I get on the dreadmill my back kills me and it isn't fun. Stretching first helps a bit.

Did you all see the trans fat email from Leanne today? Yea Leanne! Bout time people start talking about that nasty stuff.

I have been slowly but surely improving the family diet by (sounds like a taste test for coffee) secretly replacing the regular ingredients with better ones and shifting portions to focus on the healthy parts. They don't notice but I do! We still have things like grocery store pizza on shopping night but I get the cheese one and toss some of the cheese, put on veggies and make a big salad. Little changes add up and in this case it means we all eat half of the pizza we used to and more veg servings.
