Moving More

I filled in my journal all last week, helping i believe towards my 4lb loss, the only pages i passed by, trying not to look or think about it was the move more pages.

Exercise is not something i enjoy, i have fits and starts and have tried most things, Gyms, Wii fit, home gym equipment, DVD's.  I can do them for a short time then i get bored.  The only thing i do like is my Vibro Machine, 10 minutes of standing there having the fat wobbled of me, and 10 minutes time to myself to think.  Love it, not sure how much it does for weight loss but its a feel good factor and hopefully a bit toning at the same time.

So as if by fate, at this weeks meeting we discussed moving more, how much time we spend sitting and how to become more active. the conversation fitted in perfect with my plan for this week.  Time for a change.Our meeting has a weekly raffle, letting us win money to buy items from the meeting shop, and luckily i won the raffle this week and instead of buying the usual chocolate bars i bought the Move More Sit Less Book. 
 
So, like a woman on a mission, this week i didnt just plan my meals for the week i also planned my new move more plan. Everyday something little, lets not push it all in one go lol. Walking in some of my lunch times, Vibromachine on the other days. 
I only get half an hour lunch and obviously have to eat in that time but no reason i cant go for a 15 minute walk.  Now the great plan didnt quite go to plan, the first day of trying this the weather stopped me going out, the thought of me walking through the retail park where i work, being blown away by gale force winds, then heading back to work looking like i had been dragged through a hedge backwards wasnt so appealing, so vibromachine it was.

Next attempt at walking was to be this morning but again plan didnt happen so i spent most of the morning doing house work, hoovering can be a workout and a half, also vibro machine twice today.

Now as my attempt at walking has failed twice this week, and after having a discussion with the hubby, i have decided to get an air walker.  I used one of these all the time when i lost weight before my wedding, and if memory serves me correctly quite enjoyed it.  But incase it is another of my Home exercise whim's i have sourced a second hand one, and will collect it asap. 

The plan may have been slightly re-arranged but all in all i would say a success.  lets hope it has a good effect at the scales x
