Merry Christmas

I have been having some health issues (I found out that I have kidney stones in both kidneys and they are, for some reason, not passing so I will have a dr. appt on January 9).  On a related note- I have cut out all soda and am on day 6 of no soda.  My goal is to not have anything but water and juice until my appt and see what he says.  There's a small possibility from what I have read that some of the south beach diet has caused this but I am not sure and will not know anything for sure until the dr. appt.

Merry Christmas to all!

MIA

I have been MIA- I have been working a lot and have not been feeling well.  In fact, tomorrow (Tuesday) I'm heading to get a CT scan done in the a.m. to check for possible gallstones or kidney stones.  Hopefully I'll know the results soon but if not then I will head to the dr. on Thursday where I am sure she is going to go over things with me.

just Frustrated

I really WANT to make a change- however, I don't know what it is- I don't know if it's just tiredness, laziness, or what that just can't muster up the motivation to do so!  I'll start again tomorrow and see what I can do. Any advice anyone?

motivation

Just trying to get motivated.  I had a really busy week last week and of course that led to not having a chance to exercise.  I really need to get back in that but I am struggling with that.  However, I am going to post a quote that a friend of mine posted in a thread on SCS.  It's really good!  Let me know what you think:

"Don't wait until everything is just right.  It will never be perfect.  There will always be challenges, obstacles, and less than perfect conditions.  So what. Get started NOW.  With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident, and more and more successful."

Just some things to think about!

An Excellent Blog Post

A fellow stamper posted this blog post on Sunday.  It's excellent and some great info in it.  Go check it out and let me know if you tried any of these.

Still hanging around and still doing okay

The weight is going down- slowly but surely.  Not as quickly as I would like but I know of two more things that would get it down faster.  To add more cardio into my exercise- right now it's just the 30 Day Shred or get to the gym.  However, due to my schedule the first is more likely to happen- at least until the first of the year.  I know this is my healthy living blog but I wanted to show my goal cards that I made and are hanging on my fridge right now.  If you want to see details you can go find them at my other blog The Journey of Life.

Review

Oh my goodness- just giving a review of the Jillian Michaels The 30 Day Shred dvd workout!

I borrowed this from a friend (and ordered my own copy this afternoon) because I did level 1 last night.  I worked harder then I have in a LONG time (and I did a hard step class on Tuesday also). I highly recommend this workout because she's encouraging you through it and has modifications for those who need modifications.  Obviously I thought highly of it since I ordered it :)

Let me know your thoughts on this!
