ACTIONS:

 

  1. Adequate Water
  2. Healthy Substitutes
  3. Exercise Before TV or Computer
  4. Visualize Healthy Future
  5. Add a Fruit or Vegetable
  6. Increase Exercise

You have come this far and a big "Congratulations" is in order. There may be days that you don't get enough water, exercise, and healthier foods. It happens, but don't let a small setback deter you from your goals. If you said, "I'm not going to exercise as I only have 20 minutes", do it anyway because some exercise is better than none.

 

Remember, doing the action (making it a habit) is your first priority. Do it, then worry about doing it exactly right later.

Exercise - Vital to Health

This week you should put more emphasis and focus on the exercise that you're doing. When you started, if you could only walk for five minutes and you are now up to ten minutes, that is an improvement. This is a very individual process, and only you will be able to evaluate how you are feeling and what gains you are realizing.

 

Exercise is one of the most important actions you can take for your health - almost as important as what you eat and drink.

 

The goal for establishing exercise into your routine is to do it at least 5 times this week. When you reach a frequency of five days and forty five minutes to an hour each time, you'll be in very good shape - it's just a matter of gradual improvements over time.

 

If you think 30 minutes for 5 days this week is too much for you - break the 30 minutes up into 10 or 15 minute segments if it works better for you. Just try your best to get 30 minutes of exercise for 5 of the 7 days this week.

 

Let us know below the day you exercise and what you did for exercise. Sometimes the accountability to someone else helps in this process.

    Week six - half way through the book. This one might be tough for this time of the year also. But perhaps if we all think of a half hour to ourselves it will be more of a treat :) and we'll do it. I know at this time of the year I would do anything to get time for myself - just a thought - perhaps it would work for you also.

    Started my Monday out right :) by 9 this morning I had a 2 mile walk in with Leslie Sansone - the one listed under the exercise here on the site (30 minutes) and also 25 minute Strength Training...like Leslie says in this latest video - you never say after a workout "I wish I didn't do that!" I do feel energized as I have a full day. I am hoping to get some yoga/pilates in this evening yet...wishful thinking? I hope not. Of I go to conquer my day!

    I don't know where Tuesday, Wednesday nor Thursday went?

    Today I did a 55 minute intense workout with Jillian Michaels and 15 minutes of strength training.

    There is no way now that I am going to get my 5 days in this week - but I can get 4 :)

    Wow - Somehow I missed a week - could it have been the holidays?

    I do apologize but have now caught us up with the new week opening up on Sundays to prepare for Monday.

    I know the holidays are a busy time and that is probably why there have been no input for a bit. The great thing about this book is you can stay on a particular goal until you have it "mastered" and then continue on.

    Hope you are still enjoying it though.

    On to week 7 we go :)
