I got younger!

So, I've been doing the Realage.com program - it said my age was 31.2 and now after getting more regular exercise in I re-evaluated my results and my age is now 29.7 - yeay for me! Now I just need to drop some weight and whittle down my waist... speaking of my waist, I measured it and it was 38 inches - so I've lost an inch... how does one get rid of the lower belly fat? I think that'll be my tough spot...

I've calculated that I've walked about 4 1/2 hours worth (maybe more) since Thursday. Course when you are moving it keeps you very busy... lifting boxes and pulling/pushing furniture... I'm a bit sore.

Karate Class

What a great day! It was so warm outside. I took the kids for a nice walk and then later we went to karate class. Class was awesome tonight. We went over blocks and punches, practiced "poison hands" and I learned something new - forgot what it was called - but I felt really good about my growing abilities... its nice to know that I'm getting better.

I just read that if you walk 10,000 steps a day you could loose about 35 lbs in a year - wow! Combine that with aerobics and healthy eating - imagine the possibilities!

Slip-ups happen

So, major slip up... haven't worked out for about two weeks... and I've gained weight. The doctors on realage.com with the YOU on a diet program say to tell yourself this three times:
"At the next available moment, make an authorized YOU-turn"
Slip-ups happen.
Doesn't help that we have to move because our landlords decided to move back in... guess I got a little stressed out. Now that packing is underway and we've found a place to move to I'm feeling more motivated. I took the kids for a walk and play in the park today - it was refreshing!
Here's looking forward to a new week with new possibilities!
