Friday's Fit for Turkey Day

[eriniski]

Hi,

Going to start it off. What an end to a long but short week. Today I am going to take a rest day. Bought a couple of magazines Natural Health, Womens Health etc and think I am going to read and TRY to hit the hay early. Oh I think it would be cool if every day we could write a motivational quote and then I can make a collage of each one and post after we get to turkey day

Quote: "Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could; some blunders and absurdities have crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your oldnonsense." --Ralph Waldo Emerson

My goals for next week
more water, veggies and multivitamin
workout consistently
to not think about fitting into my pants but to think of being healthier for myself and the first will just follow

I am sure I will come up with more.

My motivators are:

I figure if I can make real progress I can motivate my mother and others to want to be fit and healthy and I will be of more use to my husband since I will feel better about myself

Good Evening,

Today i did Forza (a workout with a bokken). A bokken is a wooden sword. I could only do the first part. I have improved though. Before I could only do the first 15 minutes. YEAH! It's a great upper body workout out by Ilaria Montagnani. Look under Powerstrike.com, she is amazing!

Tomorrow is a full body workout with my husband (Joey), we will do The Firm vol. 1 or 2, haven't decided yet.

Can't think of any quotes yet, but as we go along from day to day I will.

My goal is to eat much much better and continue with our routines/rotations.

My motivation will be this challenge with all of you.

Take care, hope to talk with you all soon.

Janie

Hello Eriniski and Janiejoy,

I would love to be a part of your check-in. I discovered Cathe from videofitness.com in late August, and really love her style and intensity. I am in the military, and am required to do a physical fitness test every year which includes among other things, a 1.5 mile run, mine is due in November, so I have been doing interval running. A daily check-in to get through Thanksgiving would be great! I also post on Cathletic Supporters under Diet and Nutrition, but I have been wanting to be in a daily check-in if you'll have me .

The quote that comes to mind is:

"The clouds above us join and separate. The breeze in the courtyard leaves and returns. Life is like that, so why not relax. Who can stop us from celebrating?"

My husband wrote this on a picture of a sunset he gave me to hang in my office because I get so stressed out at times.
