Music & Exercise = Weight Loss….And My Secret!

smile.jpg smile image by corgichick22

Good afternoon all you buddys out there.  I know Monday mornings are tough, but its a new week!!!!

I decided a few weeks I would back off from BuddySlim until I could see I was serious this time and saw some weight loss.

I’m back…and have good results to share, but first.

How many of you exercise to music? 

I used to love to walk or ride during “All My Children,” but I discovered music is so much better.

If you go to http://www.playlist.com you can make your own play list.  I live and breath music, so this was just the answer for my motivation (other then being a fatty grammy) and all the loving support from my  buddys here .

Its taken a while but I’ve perfected my list and this is what I play during exercise time :)

If your interested in any of my picks, Go to the link I copied here on my blog.  You can look for members.  I’m   JustJane48  and The playlist I use is “Music is Life”  Its a free program which is best of all!!!!

This morning I hopped on the treadmill and started my music.  I was walking to the beat…some faster then others…..so I guess you could say….wogging?  sometimes…LOL!!!  Take for example, Any Lynard Skynard Lovers Out there????????  Well take one of my favs of his  “Simple Man”  for me I set my treadmill at 2.5 and walk the whole song :) I walk as long as I can do my songs.  I actually stayed on 30 mins this morning.  Ready to switch to the bike.  But I decided to bike while watching All My Children  LOL!!! love my soaps.

So my secret is certainly music :)

My other secret is my weight loss and exercising schedule.  My exercising will never be close to some girls here with kickboxing, Yoga, Spinning etc….but I’m working hard and seeing results.

I did purchase Bob Greens Perfect Life Book and found some interesting things in his book.

Ok, my routine is now (and its official)

1.  up between 8:00 - 8:30  (this weekend it was 6:30 - 7:00)  WOOPEE

2.   Drink a half glass of orange juice to start your metabolism going (Thanks Shanna) :)

3.   Check my e-mail :)

4.   Drink my Isagenix Shake and take my pills

5.   Straight to my little gym   LOL!!! which only consists of my treadmill and bike, but we will add to it as time goes along

6.    Everyday I exercise, I did lose a few days in the past two weeks, but my goal is everyday.

7.  Keeping a record of my weight, and exercise.  Will be putting it on my BuddySlim page!!!

8.   Back to e-mail

9.    Small snack, some examples clementine, apple, V8 Fusion Light Strawberry/Bannana 50 calories….etc…

10.   Lunch….one more Shake

11.    Housework, errands…whatever neeeds to be done, if the computer isn’t calling my name ONCE AGAIN!!!  LOL Hello  I’m Jane I’m an internet addict –geez…..LOL.   Better then being in the bars right??

12.  Dinner….between 400-600 calories.  Exercise with hubby if the evening permits.

13.  Small healthy snack….2 hours before bed…

14.  Asleep by 10:00

15.   Repeat above   WOOT WOOT  HOORAY!!!  YES I’VE FOUND THE TRICK FOR ME!!!

So I just had to share this morning, because I feel like I’m on top of the world.

I have a very special friend who has buddied up with me and we write our progress several times a day.  We have our own little Boot Camp going!!! God brought us together and thats for sure :)

So between my one on one support, my husband, my children and lets not forget my most favorite 2nd home BUDDYSLIM!!!  I can’t fail….never again.

Life is so great everyone….no one knows how long our time will be here in this beautiful country of ours.  I’ve said it so many times…but please please…smile often….hug alot…..pray and Praise…..Love each day like its your last…..and do at least one nice thing for a stranger each day, we don’t give to receive gifts or money, we give to receive the satisfaction and love in return :) It actually feels so good to give of your time or maybe just a smile….it becomes contagious :)

With God all things are possible

God

gently picks up

every care

and in our need

He’s Always there.

    So true with the music - one of the reasons I love classes is because they play good beats.
