Thoughts for Today

We were watching Wayne Dyer last night - we have many many of his DVD's.

I find all of the programs he does very inspirational - and it seems we pick the one to watch that we need that moment for some sort of message.
The message I picked up from the show last night was -


Progress is impossible if you continue to do things they way you have always done things.

There is another saying I try to keep in mind when I want things in my life to be different - Nothing Changes If Nothing Changes.
I am on a mission for change .. so I will be keeping the above in the forefront of my mind :)

My New Breakfast - Green Smoothie

I have been making different kinds of green smoothies in the morning.I like the one I made today.I put 1/4 of a pineapple, 1 granny smith apple (sliced). 2 kiwi (peeled) and about 10 leaves of Kale. Added some filtered water - blend. and mmmmm enjoy.
It is 238 Cal. (32 oz)
Schwen and I set up our target goals in our new Cal Counter App. We will each lose approx 1.5 lbs per week for a combined total weight loss of about 128 lbs by the end of the year - Dec 31, 2012.
Tracking seems to be the key - we exercised all of this January and didn't lose any weight. This weekend was a grreat start.
I am also tracking my steps in my Steps To Goals by Knoweldge Now - more on that later.
Off to pack up our lunches .... I have set my intentions for a GREAT DAY!! I am already picturing it in my mind - sailing through today in a happy mood, being productive and I hope I can make one person feel good about themselves today.

Where Did Those 2 Years Go

I am shocked it has been 2 years since last posted - we just sort of dropped everything - not everything, but certainly haven't made the progress we wanted.

Here we go ... making a new effort and we will be back "charting" our progress.

Quick Summary ... Schwen stopped biking Feb 2010 when he was sick wtih bronchitis for 5 or 6 weeks. Then last February he started having pain and numbness in his feet - that is still present now - Feb 2012 - and now we are more motivated than ever to make changes to our lives.

January 2012 we joined a lovely Club. They have a pool and 2 work out areas.

Right now we are only using the pool area mostly - it is great exercise and it is good for Schwen's feet - well, just in general it is great. We go Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday.

I actually don't swim very well - so I have signed up for swimming lessons that start in April - then maybe I will go to the deep end of the pool. I am the only one that swims back and forth in the shallow end :)

We also just started logging our calorie intake and activities in a great app that we have on our iPads - Cal Counter. It is great!! Highly recommend it.

Off to get ready for today's swimming :)
