Schools about to start and I’m ready for some structure, day –in and day-out again! ]]> http://choosetomoveblog.com/ruann/2007/08/too_hot_outside_be_keep_on_mov.php http://choosetomoveblog.com/ruann/2007/08/too_hot_outside_be_keep_on_mov.php Mon, 20 Aug 2007 20:48:30 -0600 New York was quite an experience for me, but of all the confirmations I received in my heart the strongest of them all was my life change with the “Choose To Move” program. Remember, Choosing to move is a life modification, not a multi- week course that ends, it’s only the beginning. And, you and I are in this together, even though we may not live close to each other or even speak in person, we are all part of a great group, working together, supporting each other. I have run across some great help topics I thought you would enjoy, hopefully find as intriguing as I did. ]]> http://choosetomoveblog.com/ruann/2007/07/start_spreading_the_newsim_moving_today.php http://choosetomoveblog.com/ruann/2007/07/start_spreading_the_newsim_moving_today.php Mon, 02 Jul 2007 15:29:32 -0600 Here's a picture of the waist water carrier I use, i can carry all the items I need, plus it works great to hook the dog leash on. You can find items like this at sporting good stores or running/hiking stores, just look at stores you ususally shop at they may have them. Taking water with you will make a difference, no matter how far you are going to walk and/or run.]]> http://choosetomoveblog.com/ruann/2007/05/tools_of_the_workout.php http://choosetomoveblog.com/ruann/2007/05/tools_of_the_workout.php Tue, 22 May 2007 15:16:11 -0600 "Live your best today, for it is your only preparation for tomorrow." Once you have set your mind to make the first step nothing can stop you. Remember, no matter what intensity, miles, feet, time…just do it! A little - a day. Think about yourself! What a hard lesson that is. Perhaps is comes easy to some women, for me it’s really tough to overcome the mindset of everyone else before me. We owe it no only to ourselves but to our families and loved ones to take care of ourselves and be healthy. Re-establish goals, mine have changed some… ]]> http://choosetomoveblog.com/ruann/2007/05/nothing_can_stop_you_nowget_in_1.php http://choosetomoveblog.com/ruann/2007/05/nothing_can_stop_you_nowget_in_1.php Mon, 21 May 2007 09:36:49 -0600 This picture of the athlete is my husband, finishing a race. He will run in the San Diego Marathon on June 3, 2007, as a member of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Team in Training. My primary goal is to one day be able to run a race with him, perhaps never a marathon but I CAN SEE a 5k run in my future, because I AM Choosing to Move! It's always good to learn and/or review areas of concern in all aspects of our lives. I have been doing a lot of reading lately about common misconceptions when we are learning to run or have been running for a long while. These all can be applied to our walking workouts as well. You don’t need to run a mile, it’s okay to walk (keep your pace up), run/ jog, and always a hop, skip and jump add some flavor. ]]> http://choosetomoveblog.com/ruann/2007/05/q_a_for_begadv_runnerswalkers.php http://choosetomoveblog.com/ruann/2007/05/q_a_for_begadv_runnerswalkers.php Thu, 03 May 2007 10:05:04 -0600 ]]> http://choosetomoveblog.com/ruann/2007/04/fuelits_all_in_the_balance.php http://choosetomoveblog.com/ruann/2007/04/fuelits_all_in_the_balance.php Mon, 23 Apr 2007 10:12:47 -0600 http://choosetomoveblog.com/ruann/2007/04/i_feel_like_rocky_balboa.php http://choosetomoveblog.com/ruann/2007/04/i_feel_like_rocky_balboa.php Thu, 12 Apr 2007 10:53:04 -0600 little steps into big steps, just taking the steps shows success ...]]> http://choosetomoveblog.com/ruann/2007/04/swap_in_swap_out.php http://choosetomoveblog.com/ruann/2007/04/swap_in_swap_out.php Thu, 05 Apr 2007 14:19:48 -0600 FInd out a quick and easy way to measure your food, when your on the go, a great short cut! http://choosetomoveblog.com/ruann/2007/04/how_much_can_i_eat.php http://choosetomoveblog.com/ruann/2007/04/how_much_can_i_eat.php Mon, 02 Apr 2007 16:45:28 -0600 Which takes more muscles, a smile or a frown? http://choosetomoveblog.com/ruann/2007/03/more_muscles.php http://choosetomoveblog.com/ruann/2007/03/more_muscles.php Mon, 26 Mar 2007 22:24:58 -0600 ...got to keep on movin', movin...my new theme song. Lesson learned: mind over matter, really works, for those achin' knees and ankles. http://choosetomoveblog.com/ruann/2007/03/u_got_me_movin_movin_1.php http://choosetomoveblog.com/ruann/2007/03/u_got_me_movin_movin_1.php Wed, 21 Mar 2007 14:24:46 -0600 This week I hope to increase my workout schedule. Getting up early in the morning has helped my tremendously. I also feel like I have been sleeping better. My mind is clearer when I workout. I still have no weight loss, however, I feel better. Perhaps my benefits will be more internal than external. My stamina has increased and I have been able to work through soreness and some on and off knee problems. My support is my family. My husband, two sons and my daughter. My older son is a personal trainer, so even though he is away from home he has been such a motivation for me. He also has explained so many things about how our bodies work, it has truly inspired me. My youngest son works out with me, whether it is on a walk, run, or gym. He sets goals for us to accomplish. My husband inspires my to take time for myself. And he also, tells me to take a break, we all need that sometime. My daughter is very busy with school and work, but still takes time to go to the gym with me on occasion. We all need support, we all need a strong foundation to keep us upright and moving forward. The love of my family keeps me going forward. Never quit, never stop, just be the “energizer bunny” and keep going, and going, going….. http://choosetomoveblog.com/ruann/2007/03/my_family_my_rock.php http://choosetomoveblog.com/ruann/2007/03/my_family_my_rock.php Mon, 19 Mar 2007 08:40:44 -0600 Life has been crazy, busy ! Trying to sustain my daily workout program. Walk/run for 45 minutes to an hour, then later in the day go to the gym and do 35-45 minutes weight training for upper body, core and legs. Kind of depressed lately as I have not lost one pound yet. My eating habits have greatly improved. No fast food shortcuts anymore. And, I am eating breakfast every morning. A nutritional smoothie, all natural ingredients, fresh fruit and vitamins. Still have an issue looking at myself in the mirror, but I am starting to feel better about that. Just wish I could lose some pounds http://choosetomoveblog.com/ruann/2007/03/my_daily_workout.php http://choosetomoveblog.com/ruann/2007/03/my_daily_workout.php Mon, 19 Mar 2007 08:12:32 -0600
