Weight Loss Challenge 2012 Week 24

Well I'm finally moved and mostly unpacked or at least enough to find my. Imputed and attempt to get. A k on tra k with the weekly blogging. I hope you are on track with the challenge. Are you finding it easier or harder in this warmer weather to get exercise in. I know this tends to be a busy time of year and it's so easy to jump off the good habits you've started and on to bad ones if you aren't vigilant. I am trying to get back on a better schedule too now that we have moved. It's far too easy to make excuses about things you need to get done and push exercise to the bottom of the list when really we would find more energy and clarity of mind to get the necessary things done well and efficiently if we only exercised first. You may also find at this time of year your body starts to look for lighter fresher foods to get more water in with the heat outside. Take advantage of the fresh fruit and produce out there and eat lighter meals more frequently. Remember to include protein such as nuts, seeds, eggs, legumes or lean meats to help fill you up and repair muscle. Also, water intake is especially important if you are exercising in hot weather. Don't replace your water with sugary drinks like ice tea and lemonade unless you are making them yourself and keeping the sugar low or non-existent. Continue to up your exercise and try a new exercise this week. See if you can entice a friend or neighbor to join you in this warm weather. Have a great week!

19 pounds down. I was getting kind of lazy and it was immediately reflected in my body. Back on track for the most part but yes, this weather sidetracks me in a mighty big way.
