Sunday Weigh In
Ok, it was a crazy day today before weigh in. It was 104* this morning when I went out to run my 5k and could barely get a mile in! But, I feel invigorated to attain my weight. I have 25 weeks to get to my 199 pound goal. I am going to do this!

I love Jack Canfield
I just listened to Jack's annual goal setting message and have so many great ideas to get back on track. One of the many ideas he shared was the Rule of Five - do five things every day to get to your break through goal. My break through goal is to get to 150 pounds and my goal for this year is to lose 1 pound a week for a total of 52 pounds in 2014.
My rule of five is going to be the same things each day:
1 - Eat cereal/milk for breakfast (or equivalent 300 calorie meal)
2 - Exercise for a minimum of 20 minutes
3 - Eat sushi/sandwich (or equivalent 400 calorie meal)
4 - Drink a water with every tea
5 - Plan my day the night before

Happiness!
I was just reading a great article online - http://www.fastcompany.com/3025957/work-smart/what-happens-to-our-brains-when-we-exercise-and-how-it-makes-us-happier
While it is another article on how we are happier when we are exercising, I thought there was some interesting things stated -
When you release endorphins which is chemical from the fight/flee reaction in our brains, it has the same effect like morphine, heroine or nicotine. (WHY AM I NOT ADDICTED???)
You only need 20 minutes to get the happiness boost all day. (I do believe that!)
Make exercise a habit - you will be happier! :)

another great idea!
I made the commitment to write down my gym schedule this week and I did it. And, I am following it. One of the inspirations I got was to try a new class at the gym every day to see if I could find something new and fun.
Well...
Today's class was VIPR and I had no idea what it meant but I figured, how hard can it be? The answer is VERY HARD!
If you don't know what a VIPR bar is (and I did not) it is a weight hollow tube with holes that can be used for different exercises. It is a lot of lifting weight (the bar), squats, core. I am not making up stories when I write that I was sweating after two minutes! But the class went really quickly as it was only 30 minutes and I would try it again. If I can walk in the morning!

Sunday Weigh In
You know the saying, "If you kinda diet, you kinda lose weight." That is really where I am. I am finding it almost impossible to put my weight loss first. Really for the past year. My goal today (just one day!) is to put my exercise into my diary. That is it. One goal. One change.
