Many of us made fitness goals for the year.  As January rolls to a frigid end, it’s a good time to do a quick check-in on how those resolutions are coming.  While it’s only been a little over three weeks, evaluating your plans now gives you the chance to make the changes necessary to get back on track if you’ve slipped a little.

This cold weather hasn’t really helped.  Who wants to – or even can – get outside when the thermometer reads below zero?  Fortunately Bubbles keeps my heart rate up with all the dancing and jumping around she likes us to do together.

It’s been a few months since I started using my Shine fitness monitor to keep track of my activities.  While it’s not really designed to track all that dancing, it does at least track my steps so I have an idea of if I’m moving enough, or not.  On the days I need a bit more activity to reach my goal, I do have the option of using our treadmill.

For awhile now I’ve used a pedometer to track the steps I take during the day.  It’s definitely a good way to encourage yourself to take the stairs when possible, or to circle the block a second time during your afternoon walk.  They’re a little clunky, though, and depending on where you clip it, I had a tendency to knock it off when I’d walk.

When I saw the new Misfit Shine activity monitor, however, I knew I’d found better than the perfect replacement for my old-school pedometer.  First of all, it’s incredibly sleek and stylish.  It’s made of aircraft-grade aluminum and comes in grey, black, topaz, and champagne.

Lean Cuisine 6-Packs Now at Sam's Club

In the weeks before she returned to college this fall, A1 became a huge fan of running.  She studied running online, talking sport with serious runners, and ran everyday.  She also talked about training to run a marathon.

That got me to thinking.  I’ve participated in a number of charitable “walks” over the years, but I’ve never participated in anything more serious than a fun-run.  In fact, looking back, I actually can’t recall doing much  real running.  I love a brisk walk – even jogging – but running just wasn’t anything anyone in my circle of friends did for fitness.

I can’t believe it’s been almost a month since I first started my Nutrisystem journey!
This week was not my most successful week, but to be honest, I kind of expected it to be that way.  Between the yummy foods and sweets we had for Christmas Eve, Christmas day and all the leftovers – well, not much of it was Nutrisystem-friendly.  But by following my Nutrisystem holiday eating tips, I was able to keep it mostly in check.
I am still loving the program.  I keep discovering new favorite dishes every day.  The cinnamon buns for breakfast are to die for; I could honestly eat one every day (they’re so good, they couldeasily qualify asdessert, too).  My  favorite lunch pantry item is still the pizza, though.  See how tasty:

I added lots of mushrooms (an unlimited veggie) and a couple of torn up turkey pepperonis.

Still waiting for my new SUCCESS kit, but once it arrives, I’ll fill you in!

My Tally:
Previous: -5 lbs
Week 4 + .5 lbs
Total: -5 lbs

Please stop in and check on my blogger friends and see how their journey is going:
