If you have an IPhone there are a couple apps I would suggest you download.
One is My Fitness Pal. You can also download it online @ myfitnesspal.com. It's awesome you set your goal, its tells you how many calories you can consume a day to help you get to your goal. It allows you to enter in your workout info and it calculates like what you ate and worked off to tell you if your + or - in your caloric intake. The Nutrition guide is good as well. I give it an A++++:)
I also have 3 apps downloaded for abs, butt and arms. Its a timed workout like 30seconds each exercise. It gives you a description of the workout in words and also has a video that goes along with it to show you the proper way to complete the exercise.. LOVE IT!
I also had a ton of links for Women's Health.com. But instead of me posting all the individual links ( I can if you need) I will just tell you to go to that site, It is awesome. Also right now they are having a special on their subscription..so it will make a great gift to yourself or someone you love!
Today while I was working out I began to think about all the medical bills that I have acquired since July when I finally began to take my health serious. And I thought of the gym membership, membership at with Massage Envy. And I told myself I'm WORTH the gym membership and my massages. They are two of the best decisions I've made in a while for myself. Since I am on the way to getting myself physically fit, I said it's finally time to get financially fit as well for the new year!

I've made it, Wait, No I didn't!
Hey dolls!
On Sunday morning one of my best friends and I set out to walk the Cooper River Bridge which is about 3miles (6miles back and forth). As soon as we got out got our scarves, gloves and shades to hit the Bridge. We talked about getting complacent. We laughed about our ability to loose ourselves in our journey. To me, being able to maintain the weight loss loss is equally or even harder than the actual process. I told her what I'm learning is catch it before it gets too far out of hand. In her words she got to "laxed". Once you see the progress and others can see the progress, we tend to say OK, I can miss this workout, then it leads to...days.. then weeks..then the gym is calling (some of them anyways). Or it's okay I can have that hamburger and fry, I'll work it off..or I earned it! Okay I know we are not the ones that think this way or even fallen off the wagon. But whats most important is that you acknowledge it and get back on.
Ive been out of work for a couple of days and my doctor requested that I only walk. Yeah well it's like 35degrees here which I am not used to so I have walked twice in the 5 days I've been off. And since old man winter is going to be here for a while, I've decided the best thing I can do is join a gym! So tomorrow it's getting done!
Complacency can stall you every time if you let it. Remember that the journey for weight loss or to a healthier lifestyle can be as hard as we make it. We get bored sometimes with our work outs..change it up..we get tired of eating the same things, by a cook book, check websites that include different menu's and print them follow them for a week or so and shake it up! For me I get burnt out from working out so much. An aerobic instructor once told me to listen to your body, It will tell you when your tired. When that happens take a break or change to a lower impact workout. Pilate's, that's all I need to say. ( Speaking of that I need to dust off my Winsor Pilates and get it in!)
Later today I promise that I a going to add another post with links that I have for some interesting reading.
If you are not on TWITTER, join! I LOVE TWITTER. It's not boring, it's all in who you follow. Alot of positive people on there and alot of info to absorb!
And remember, we can't change what has already happened. We can only learn from it, grow from it and do our best not to repeat it. Today is another day, you have another chance to get it right!!
Laila Ali btw...shes awesome:)
