Tuesday's Tips: Like I always say, the family that shaves together stays together!

It's official. The slimdown extravaganza isn't just for the ladies.

Husband is in.

He likes to jump into things both feet first with arms a-flailing. That is what we did this weekend:
Anytime he gets on the wagon, or gets serious about something, he does something drastic like, for instance, going from this:

to this:

So that's Tuesday's tip. If you are teetering on the edge or you're hitting a plateau, no, you don't have to shave your head. But you can do something drastic. Change something. Do something that says, ok there's no turning back now! Like signing up for a race that you have to train for, or getting a whole new workout wardrobe, anything. And then go for it! It puts you in the mode. Anyone got a tip? Air it here!

Tuesday's Tips! And Heads or Tails!

Wakey wakey eggs and bakey! If only I were that awake and chipper today. My Tuesday's Tips today coincides with the theme of today's Heads or Tails, hosted by Skittles! How lucky!

OK one day I'll get used to this crazy wake-up hour. I got out of bed (in the dark) repeating my mantra -- It's only an hour before I would normally get up it's only an hour before I would normally get up...

My big tip for today is simple and it worked for me and it's two words. Get moving.
Even if you don't go to the gym, even if you don't actually lace up and power walk or put in that workout tape...just plain old move more.

This is how I had my "accidental" weight loss and what inspired me to lose more (along with that God awful fat photo). I wasn't in the mind to go to the gym every day yet, I was just starting to get some sleep at night, but I told myself to wear "play shoes" more (closed toed shoes rather than flip-flops--i forget i'm in florida, probably no one else is in flip-flops yet) so I can run around outside with Poops. And I parked REALLY REALLY REALLY far away from the entrance of stores (this one I always scoffed at in the past). And I just plain got outside more to do things like take short (slow) walks with the kids, or garden. And I picked up Aidan and flew him around the house more. Whatever it was, I thought, ok just move. Baby steps. And what do you know, 5 pounds gone. Hmmm. I thought, maybe there's something to this. My mom said it like this, "If you're sitting, stand. If you're standing, walk. If you're walking, run."

Anyone got some tips???

Tuesday's Tips--Don't forget to look cute!

Just because you're getting all sweaty doesn't mean you don't have to look cute doing it! This might seem really vain -- I know -- but for me, how I feel has a lot to do with how I look. That includes during workouts! And believe it or not, when I get cute workout clothes, I look forward to wearing them, and then I have to go to the gym cause where else would I wear them? So go ahead and splurge! I swear, it works! (This includes a cool pair of kicks!)
