Well, because I’m on vacation it’s not as easy as it was to do the dvds. But I swim more and I eat small portions of food every three hours. I’m trying not to gain the 9 pounds I’ve lost.

I always make my grocery once a week mostly saturdays
then I prepear our snacks the in night before I go to bed then the veggies and fruits are “fresh” cut every day! all my meals are home made always I like to spend time in the kitchen with my family even my 8mnth baby is having her home made organic foods. I try to stay true to my AHBworkout, even i find chardio a B….ch sometimes but then i try to remind my self how priveledge i am to have time and energy to do so.I do my workout in the evening when the baby is of to bed and husband is home from work then it is MY time for myself.

Danielly- I love how you have made being fit such a part of your life. You are such a great example because I know how busy you are but you make fitness and health a priority. Great job!

Every Sunday, I pack my meals & snacks for the entire work week, so I can *consistently* eat healthy at work.
I go to the grocery market & farmer’s market at least 1x a week to load up on veggies & fruit!!
I’ve started drinking green tea every morning (with a little bit of lemon juice & stevia in it).
No matter how busy I get, I make sure to eat 5-6x a day.
Besides my regular workouts, I incorporate dancing at least 1x a week. I’ve also recently started bike riding for leisure as well.
I log into the RCR forum and check in with fave RCR community!

Karen- It sounds like you are living a very balanced fit life. Well done!

Kelly- I think we all need more positivity and self encouragement. That was part of idea of this post. To acknowledge what we do right. You are such an inspiration to others. Thank you for sharing your journey. Great job!

Clark- I love that you recognize that any fitness time is better than no fitness time and you adjust your intensity accordingly. Well done!

I try to walk as much as I can. If I am not able to walk for a half hour, I attempt to walk very fast for 5 to 10 minutes. This provides explosive energy.

Great post Val!! As usual. My friend Amy really helped me turn around my mindset and start doing a bit of what you are saying- adding in positivity and encouragement to myself instead of only seeing what I have left to fix! What I’m doing right at present: I am accepting myself where I am RIGHT NOW. I am recognizing my progress FIRST and what I still have to work on (i.e. where the fat still is!) second. I am branching out and trying new things, new workouts (started running!) and enjoying every day. I am tracking my workouts in a calendar and keeping a food diary. I am improving my relationship with food/eating so I can be getting fit and healthy but enjoying life- in moderation- along the way. I am not giving up, ever. I am working on getting better every workout. I am Aiming High and Never Settling! WOOT!!

First thank you, Val for your down to earth sincerity. I do many things right. I work out just about every day and I do it in the morning so I won’t let anything else get in the way. I even have workouts I do on my “days off” from working out. I eat healthy about 85% of the time. I do allow myself some indulgences, but do it moderately. I drink a lot of water. When I eat out, I divide my meal in half so I can enjoy the rest of it the next day. I try to get enough sleep every night and I floss my teeth daily. I am 54 and many tell me I look at least 10 years younger than that. Thank you again and I do love your valslides!

Kim- Way to get right back on track! Good job!

LeeAnne- You definitely know how to do many things right. I love that you always get right back on track after a slip up. Great job!

Valerie!!! I love this!! What I do right is plan my meals and workouts each week and follow that plan … when I slip up food-wise, I get right back on track with my next meal, check in with my RCR girls for my daily motivation – and leave a little motivation behind for them …. all thing I learned from you missy!!! Thanks Val!
