Fit Club, Sea Style
March 11, 2009|
You may remember that Air Force Wife mentioned that I was going to be contributing to Fit Club. That was several weeks months ago. Unfortunately, I've been keeping a little busier than I'd like. But I'm going to get on the ball, starting this week. I think Air Force Wife usually posted updates on Fridays, but I'm just not that organized. They're going to have to come whenever they come. I should probably shoot for Fridays, for some accountability, but I'm not making any promises.
Since He of the Sea deployed a little over a month ago, I've been plotting my plan of attack for being skinny when he comes home. Well, probably not skinny, but maybe a little less round. I worked out a plan of non-food rewards at each small milestone (check out this necklace) and I've rounded up a walking buddy. I've been doing Perfect Pushups, which amazes me because I thought I would never do a push-up. I do them on my knees, but the program says that is OK for beginners. I got a copy of the Nikki Fitness Military Wife Workout but I haven't been able to do it because I've got a guest bedroom's worth of furniture currently residing in front of my TV. I'm going to have to move that stuff somewhere else because airforcewife says it rocks. (Plus, moving furniture counts as exercise, right?)
For those of you who have been faithfully exercising while airforcewife has been moving, remodeling and cleaning up behind sick people, Good For You! For those of you just joining this adventure, Welcome. I'm not sure where this journey is headed, but I hope you'll come along for the ride.
Ah the military spouse perspective... "I'm not sure where this journey is headed, but it's sure to be an adventure!..."
God bless us, we are a unique breed!
Wishing you much strength and perseverance in your weight loss goals, I'm there with ya! I'm glad I stumbled onto this...

I finally decided that the only way to make myself exercise was to make it as easy as possible. So we bought our own elliptical machine. And so far, I have been doing well. I have been using it every other day for a couple of weeks. So far I am keeping a good schedule. I just have to keep it up, and ramp it up when this level gets too easy.

I've been going at it since last June, and just today I made a milestone: lost 20 lbs! I started off really slow, but I'm hoping it's lasting. I really recommend reading Dr. Phil's weight loss book and the Biggest Loser workout videos. Good luck to all of us!
