Beach Jogging! - Greetings and Cards by Kathy Shell

Beach Jogging! 02/25/2010

WOWWWW I am having fun here at Phillip Island this week. I am inspired and commitment to fitting my exercise activity into my sedentary creative lifestyle and achieving the balance I need.

I even took some ‘before’, stripped down to shorts and bra, show the fat I still need to lose, photos, so I would be highly focussed on SAYING GOODBYE/GOOD RIDDANCE to my last lingering occasional sedentary days or tucking into larger serves of food, than I need that have been holding me back.

I am going to think LEAN/FIT/HEALTHY & STRONG… because I am ready to make 2010 my year to achieve my slim, ideal goal weight. I am ready for change.

I use before photos to remind myself why I am making the effort to portion control healthy eating and set aside time every day to exercise when I so easily could say, ‘I am too busy’.

Sometimes when I have time on my hands, I do a clothing wardrobe sort, try on clothes that don’t fit yet, or are baggy now and remind myself of what I am achieving and why it is going to be so very worth the effort of sticking to my new healthy lifestyle, action plan.

This week I have been swimming each day, walking on the beach and going for short sprints. I began by doing 100-meter sprints and yesterday I managed two x 200 meter sprints and one 400-meter sprint. It was EXHILLARATING J

On Saturday, we move inland to the fern gully rainforest area of Gippsland, so today is my last chance to use the beach as my treadmill.

It is still hard for me to visualize myself at my goal weight. Yet I know if I am consistent and do what I am doing each day now, I will achieve it, so I just take one day at a time and do today’s action plan to get myself to a shorter time, mini goal, one I know I can achieve.

I have joined the Michelle Bridges, Body Transformation 2010 http://www.12wbt.com so I have the advantage now of on line coaching as part of a group of over 1000 strong minded people committed to improving their fitness. There is a positive professionally guided forum in the site and it is abuzz with information and enthusiasm all of which will help me complete my own joyful fitness journey.
