Guest guest Posted February 2, 2001 Report Share Posted February 2, 2001 Thanks Carol~ Yes, 120 to lose all gained from 3 pregnancies and like Amy I have a stomach to show from it. I am determined and realizing that doing the basic workouts will not be enough, so I will be adding 20 mintues of walking in my treadmill when the hubby is home to watch the kids. Keep cheering for me, and I will be posting as much as possible. I lose motivation quickly, although with tae bo it hasn't happened.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2001 Report Share Posted February 2, 2001 Temera, what helped me was not looking at the BIG LONG TERM goal and go for smaller more attainable goals. Sometimes it was a fitness goal, like being able to get all the way though a workout without dying for breath! LOL! Or just losing 5 pounds by a certain date. These smaller goals, as I reached each one, felt like WONDERFUL victories! They kept me going! ) Let's see what you can celebrate NEXT! ) Carol << Thanks Carol~ Yes, 120 to lose all gained from 3 pregnancies and like Amy I have a stomach to show from it.

Rejoice the first time you hold a difficult balance move or figure out a tricky combination move. That way, taebo will always be challenging and fresh. We have control over our workouts; we don't necessarily have control over our weight and clothes' size. Elena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree and would like to add that we do have control over our attitude as well Don't let the workout control you or what works for someone else and not necessarily for you determine your attitude Listen to YOUR own body and mind Be your own personal trainer Barb who thinks keeping a workout journal can help folks evaluate their workout schedule Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current Muscle & Fitness Hers has a great article on setting long-term achievable goals. Similar to above, it involves setting short-term realistic goals and remembering to reward ourselves for making the short-term goals also.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2001 Report Share Posted February 2, 2001 Bev and Carol~ Funny, I am reading my emails backwards but responding to this one first. I actually have my goals in 10 lbs as well, although I am not losing weight off the scale, so I posted the other day that I am not focusing on the scale but measurements, and that my Feb. challenge is to workout 5 days a week at a minimum and check every 2 weeks if I have lost inches. I gain muscle very quickly and tae bo makes me do that. But thank you for your suggestions and I agree with you also!!! I am so lucky to have all of this support!!

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2001 Report Share Posted February 2, 2001 Oh yes elena~ I do rejoice when I can do balancing moves, or like in BL I can do the one where you stand on one foot and pull your leg in and out, it took me several weeks, but I can get through almost all the reps now, and not hold on!! I am rejoicing big time. Thanks, Temera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2001 Report Share Posted February 2, 2001 Temera, I totally agree with Carol... I have a lot to lose as well and I know if I focus on the big picture I will not be able to get through this. I'm working on 10 lbs at a time. You just have to work on finding which goals work for you. Bev who has reached her first 10lbs loss goal this week. --- CAFitNut@... wrote: > Temera, what helped me was not looking at the BIG > LONG TERM goal and go for > smaller more attainable goals.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2001 Report Share Posted February 2, 2001 That's what last year's WW program was about. They called it the 10% difference. Instead of focusing on the big picture, put it into smaller increments so it wouldn't seem as overwhelming.
