Sunday, Week 26:
Exercise:
It's Sunday! I was up and Kettlebelling at 7:00 a.m. Today I did my KettleWorx DVD "Resistance". I'm getting better at the Baseball Catcher exercise. I am squatting better and keeping my balance better while lifting up on my toes and back down on my heels. Do a little bit everyday and it just keeps getting better and better.
Daily Comments:
Arianna, my grand baby, looked so beautiful today at church. I wish I had taken a picture to share. She had on an antique white cotton dress that I bought her at Holiday in the Grove craft show. It was made from an antique pillow case with embroidered flowers. It gathers at the neck with ribbon that ties at the shoulders in big pink bows. Under the dress she wore a delicate pink long sleeve blouse and white tights that had pink shoes as part of the tights. To top it off she was wearing a pink headband with a big pink bow. She was an explosion of bows. She was beautiful!!
Inspirational Thoughts:
Here are a couple of tips:
Prevent idle hands: Being in front of the television is one of the biggest reasons people forget about portion control. To avoid bad snacking throughout a show, give your hands something else to do. Take up knitting, fill in a crossword or fold some laundry—the more your hands have to do, the less time they'll spend reaching for food.
Pose slimmer: Everyone knows the camera adds ten pounds, but what celebrities know is how to make it look like you lost a few. Make your next photo more flattering by placing one hand on your hip and leaning toward the opposite side. This will elongate your torso and make your arms look leaner.
Stair step your goals: Having just one big goal may be simple, but it can be more frustrating to reach. Try adding a few small goals along the way, like going to the gym three days in a week or eating a vegetable at every meal. Small accomplishments will help make the whole experience more rewarding.
Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." (NLT)

I like the hints about posing for photos. I have always 'hidden' behind the crowd! I almost never had a picture alone. NOT good. Usually, I'm the photographer. Now that I'm thinner...I run to the front!
ReplyDeleteSquatting...I always fall backwards. I cannot do the squatting without having to hold on to something like a chair. I feet will not go flat and I have to balance on my toes and even then I still topple over. I doesn't have anything to do with leg muscle strength, that's really good. I am just not built for balancing in a squatting position. Oh, well.
