Today's workout...

The FIRM Classic - Volume 1. I have this one on DVD - it is a bit cheesy, from the 80s, but a very effective areobic and weight training workout.

I didn't have time for the full 60 minutes today - homeschool teen group party on this a.m. - but I did about 45 minutes, maybe 50 minutes with the abs section.

Thanks Kristina for reminding me about this workout!

My eating has been okay to day, too - so far within calorie limits. :-)

How about you?

Kristina, the workout was less challenging than I remember - but fun and I know I'll get DOMs tomorrow - esp from the floorwork!; 8:10 pm
Cindy said...: HI Leonie-
I would love to do accountability with you all!

Do you have specific goals set up? Or just general lifestyle goals?

I have set up a goal to lose 10 pounds by Dec 31. I am down five so far.

I have also taken beginning measurements just to give myself some bearing. I don't want to get caught up in numbers, but the pounds do give me a sense of moving forward!

I have been working out a lot and doing strength training for some time an dlove it. I feel so much stronger. I wrote up some goals or 'why I am doing this'- to remind myself.

I am like you, I enjoy the workouts so don't have trouble getting them in. Plus my boys are older so I can leave to workout whenever I need-- so much easier then when they were little and I had to get very creative!

I am doing Weight Watchters online- no meetings- but a great tool to help me track what I eat. My ultimate goal is to learn this and have it come natrually again so I don't have to keep up. I got out of the habit... began eating for reasons other than hunger or sharing with others... so hope to get some self-discipline back.

Well, that is my tome! You all are welcome to join my blog and we can all be accountable together there.. or we can do it here!

Good luck! I will post my 'reasons why' if anyone is intersted. :)

I love having company on this 'journey'.. :); 3:05 am
Leonie said...: Cindy - you have very specific goals, wtg!

Is your accountability blog separate to your usual blog? Am happy to join you here or there.
:-)

My goal is to continue my workouts for health and fitness, to manage all the holiday eating and to lose 4.5 kg to get to my original goal weight. I 'll probably want to go lower than that but I can't beleive I am so close to the original goal!; 2:41 pm

Prayer of Consecration of St. Maximilian Kolbe

O Immaculata, Queen of Heaven and earth, refuge of sinners and our most loving Mother, God has willed to entrust the entire order of mercy to thee. I, N___, a repentant sinner, cast myself at thy feet humbly imploring thee to take me with all that I am and have, wholly to thyself as thy possession and property. Please make of me, of all my powers of soul and body, of my whole life, death and eternity, whatever most pleases thee. If it pleases thee, use all that I am and have without reserve, wholly to accomplish what was said of thee: "She will crush your head," and, "Thou alone have destroyed all heresies in the whole world."

Let me be a fit instrument in thine Immaculate and merciful hands for introducing and increasing the maximum in all the many strayed and indifferent souls, and thus help extend as far as possible the blessed Kingdom of the most Sacred Heart of Jesus. For wherever thou enters, one obtains the grace of conversion and growth in holiness, since it is through thy hands that all graces come to us from the most Sacred Heart of Jesus.

V. Allow me to praise thee O Sacred Virgin.
R. Give me strength against thy enemies.

Prayer of St Bonaventure

Pierce, O most Sweet Lord Jesus, my inmost soul with the most joyous and healthful wound of Thy love, with true, serene, and most holy apostolic charity, that my soul may ever languish and melt with love and longing for Thee, that it may yearn for Thee and faint for Thy courts, and long to be dissolved and to be with Thee.Grant that my soul may hunger after Thee, the bread of angels, the refreshment of holy souls, our daily and supersubstantial bread, having all sweetness and savor and every delight of taste; let my heart ever hunger after and feed upon Thee, upon whom the angels desire to look, and may my inmost soul be filled with the sweetness of Thy savor; may it ever thirst after Thee, the fountain of life, the fountain of wisdom and knowledge, the fountain of eternal light, the torrent of pleasure, the richness of the house of God.May it ever compass Thee, seek Thee, find Thee, run to Thee, attain Thee, meditate upon Thee, speak of Thee, and do all things to the praise and glory of Thy name, with humility and discretion, with love and delight, with ease and affection, and with perseverance unto the end.May Thou alone be ever my hope, my entire assurance, my riches, my delight, my pleasure, my joy, my rest and tranquility, my peace, my sweetness, my fragrance, my sweet savor, my food, my refreshment, my refuge, my help, my wisdom, my portion, my possession and my treasure, in whom may my mind and my heart be fixed and firmly rooted immovably henceforth and for ever. Amen.
