Sue's Healthy Lifestyle

Wow can’t believe that it is almost April!  Just don’t know where this month went. I have been concentrating on watching what I eat this month and have lost another 6lbs, mainly I think with walking the dogs every day.  Trying to teach Skyla how to walk on the leash better.  It is getting there, but if she sees a squirrel or cat she’s off pulling like crazy. Practice and patience and we will get there eventually.

My plans for April.  I want to start a newsletter and send out tips and resources each month, so look for that shortly.  Maybe try to narrow down more of a theme for this blog, so if you have any suggestions please leave a comment on here.

On the personal side, just concentrate on losing weight each week.  My biggest motivation each week is still the Biggest Loser, gets me ready for each new week.  I have been able to get out on my bike as the roads are fairly dry now and it is a wonderful feeling to have the fresh air blowing at your face. So that combined with dog walking should speed up my weight loss efforts too.

Off To The Races!

Well I finally got back on track and am raring to go again. A lot of self talk and telling myself not to get disappointed about life. Things normally happen for a reason and my reason will become clearer as the days pass by.

My next goal is to lose 25 pounds. I started back with the 30 day shred again and this time went to level two. There is actually less jumping involved but it is very tough. I was sweating like crazy by the time I was finished and boy could I feel my arm and stomach muscles.

Now that I am not doing my course anymore I miss my walks. I had every intention of starting them up and taking Skyla for a walk around the block, about 4miles. I was just getting dressed to go yesterday morning when a snow squall came in with high, high winds. So needless to say we stayed inside. The storm raged all day here!

I spent some time looking through some cookbooks and picked a few recipes to try out that sound good and are low in fat and healthy. I am pretty much cooking for only the two of us right now, so I have to remember to make less. Especially when it comes to the potatoes! Unfortunately I do love my roasted and oven baked potato wedgies.

You can find part of the reason of how I got more motivated over at my other blog, Whoissuefleckenstein, take a peek and feel free to leave comments.
