It's JUNE!

-
It's June, half way through 2011 already?

This is a busy month for me, my school term ends this month and summer school starts the same month. My little man graduates from preschool, a big milestone for him and me. As a mother, I am so happy to see him reach these milestones and at the same time am sad to see him grow up so fast. My baby girls will be going into day care one day a week just to give me a breathing break. What I will do in those three long/short hours, I have not totally decided yet. I want to catch up on educational reading, or maybe start the "Couch to 5K" program, or maybe pick up a copy of Jillian Michael's "Master Your Metabolism Cookbook" or the "Unlimited", or sleep, ... like I said, I have not decided yet. Whatever I decided to do, it will not be to catch up on housework. Not that I intend on neglecting it, it will get done as it always is.

Whatever I decided to do, those 3 hours once a week have to be spent on improving my health, fitness, and help me loose weight.

I have not forgotten, nor finished the "Lose It" book. So I may continue with that book before starting on these options. For those of you just tuning in, "Lose It" is a free app I use on my iPhone to help me track calories. They have a free website at http://loseit.com/ and they put out a book called, what else, "Lose It." The link to the book listing at Barnes & Noble is: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/lose-it-charles-teague/1026415622  BTW, if you are part of LoseIt.com or join and would like to be my friend/buddy, feel free to send me a friend request. As you may have guessed it, my name on there is MrsG.Journey with an email address of MrsG.Journey@gmail.com

To find out more about the items I am contemplating, you can check out the following links:

Where to Purchase Shoes

My chosen method of exercise is walking. I can do it almost anywhere at almost any time. I have heard of walking referred to as the simplest, easiest, least expensive method of exercise. Least expensive does not mean 100% free. There is no charge to go out and walk around. Walking at the local park is free, but walking at local amusement park is not. Therefore, I will agree, walking can be free but not 100% free. Walking requires I wear shoes. Walking across a bare foot is not for me. Soft grass feels nice but most of the time grass feels like tiny sharp points. It may not be as bad as walking across a floor filled with Legos, but I can't walk on grass for an extended period of time. Walking on a typical street sidewalk is doable, but again, I can not do it for an extended period of time. I need padding otherwise my heal starts to hurt. Walking for me requires having a good pair of shoes. Previously I spoke about knowing if is it time for a new sneakers ? My answer was, yes. Ne

Healthier Choice, Still Over Budget

Today I did a better job than yesterday, but not by much. Overall it is a step in the right direction.  Here is the break down: + Logged all my calories using LoseIt + Consumed less calories. - Was over my daily caloric budget. + Consumed healthier food. - Had too much food. + Drank more fluids. - Had 2 glasses of diet soda. + Did some physical labor - Should have walked more, tracked by FitBit Here are some snapshots from my lunch today. The food at the Soupplantation was yummy. I would h ave had a third plate, but did not want to go further over budget than yesterday. Here is a glimpse at my physical labor. I swept a drive way and collected a can full of leaves and twigs. Getting into the gym to workout is not really an option for me, so I find ways like this to workout.

2011_0117 Counting Calories at Disneyland

-
Over the weekend we went to Disneyland. I did not take the tram ride from the parking lot to the main entrance. Instead I decided to walk. The distance from the elevator at the Mickey & Friends Parking Lot to the Check-Point where the trams drop you off is 0.60miles. I brought with me some fresh fruit and some bottles of water, in effort to curve temptation to eat too much junk food. When it was finally time for dinner, I decided I would eat at the Red Rocket Pizza Port in Tomorrow Land. I wanted to enjoy my dinner but not go crazy with the calorie count. The menu board did not have calorie counts, no where obvious where nutritional values posted either. I asked the door greeter where I could find the information. He said to ask anyone behind the counter. Including him, I asked 4 employees in there. Each would point me to the next person until the kitchen was gave me a response. "We are still collection information, so we don't have the information." That left me pu
