Mine is the motivation to go out and do exercise. I go running on Thursday nights, but last night, I didn't go. I've had a nagging thigh thing happening and wanted to be fit for my football match on Sunday.<br />
<br />
Tonight I went out with friends for dinner, and while I didn't drink, there was a lack of "healthy options" for me to eat. However, I'm attempting to make up for it tomorrow by a yoga class AND a pilates class.Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10843526630934395256noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6321457986116117859.post-60267007441001381612011-06-02T19:56:00.000+10:002011-06-04T07:59:29.150+10:0030 Days of Health and Wellbeing - Day 2Today was a challenging day, as work has been quite stressful and I tend to stress eat! It is something that I have to deal with, and I am trying my best.<br />
<br />
Day 1 and today involved the eating of cupcakes. There, I've confessed. They were green, so that led me to believe that they were maybe healthy. LOL.<br />
<br />
I have succeeded in not drinking though, and as I normally have a glass of wine or two on Hump Day, I'm pretty impressed with myself!Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10843526630934395256noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6321457986116117859.post-72549536132948054852011-06-01T09:39:00.000+10:002011-06-01T20:01:05.732+10:0030 Days of Health and Wellbeing - Day 1Inspired by <a href="http://www.acp.com.au/">ACP Magazine's</a> <a href="http://30daysofhealthandwellbeing.ninemsn.com.au/">30 Days of Health and Wellbeing</a>, I am focusing on my health and wellbeing for the whole month of June.<br />
<br />
I am actually participating in a couple of the 30 Days... events: <a href="http://hw.30daysofhealthandwellbeing.com.au/yoga-hula-where-yoga-meets-hula-hooping-brought-to-you-by-vaalia-innergy-sat4.htm">Yoga Hula</a> and <a href="http://hw.30daysofhealthandwellbeing.com.au/poise-pilates-saturday.htm">Poise Pilates</a> which promise to be loads of fun. I took part in their Yoga event last year with a friend, and had a great morning of free yoga. I also went home with a nice bag of freebies!<br />
<br />
My main challenges for the month of June are going alcohol free, drinking enough water, eating well and exercising 3-4 times a week. How challenging can that be?! LOL.<br />
<br />
I've made myself a calendar where I can record how well I've gone each day, and I will also be blogging here with updates on how I'm going. As you know, I've taken my measurements and weighed myself, so it is my aim to report here how I've gone each week, with today being Day 1.Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10843526630934395256noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6321457986116117859.post-64845116015457888862011-06-01T06:41:00.000+10:002011-06-01T20:00:19.302+10:00The Healthy LibrarianThis blog begins as a record of my attempts to become a healthier and fitter me. Since the beginning of this year, I have been feeling pretty sluggish and off. I have put on 2-3 (unwanted) kilos and I begin, on this first day of (Australian) Winter, in an attempt to drop those and become healthier overall.<br />

</div><div>I have taken my measurements, using <a href="http://www.weight-loss-program.com/art13-taking-measurements.html">these</a> instructions, and have weighed myself in order to get a true reflection of where I've begun and how I am going on. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHL9VnZ64CGU2GyfVILH41A-Ec-iQFfSx3TuEGP1Rhq2Kg5i5ItcSZ4CSejyA3u8VmHztddaJrlIFj7jBqHd5LGQX4ExjCjv-zcGq5fXz8w-far4zNH2Ai0LUU-rlPlqlvAaKF6A6lulEx/s1600/4457379640_08dc416aec.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHL9VnZ64CGU2GyfVILH41A-Ec-iQFfSx3TuEGP1Rhq2Kg5i5ItcSZ4CSejyA3u8VmHztddaJrlIFj7jBqHd5LGQX4ExjCjv-zcGq5fXz8w-far4zNH2Ai0LUU-rlPlqlvAaKF6A6lulEx/s320/4457379640_08dc416aec.jpg" width="277" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Image from <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/fhionagalloway/4457379640/">here</a>. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I have a few aims in this quest for greater health and wellbeing: </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">- Feel better! By which I mean more alert, less sluggish, less blerg! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">- Lose the unwanted 2-3 kilos</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">- Lose some centimetres</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">- Gain greater overall fitness levels</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Wish me luck on my journey... And even if no one reads this blog, at least it will be here as a record for myself on how I've gone and whether I have succeeded (or not). </div>Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10843526630934395256noreply@blogger.com0
