On line walking

Clicking around from my own links on this site, I found another Leslie Sansone walking video. To get to Leslie Sansone, you'll have to click on her workout just to the right of the video that begins when you load the page. (The one that starts automatically is a work out for Beginners that is promoted on the "You: on a Diet" link under Get Moving.) When you click on the Walking Video, it will stop the first one.

Anyway, it looks like this particular walking video of Leslie Sansone's is almost 15 minutes. It's based on the same steps that the other one was that got taken down on her site--which is the one I have at home. This one is at Real Age. There's a number of exercise videos there along with hers.

I found it by doing a google search of "You:on a Diet" which was mentioned on the link I have at Fat Secret

At Fat Secret they do not promote any one diet but give the results of whatever diets their members are using. One of the diets was "You: on a Diet"-- a diet I'd never heard of so was going to check it out.

One Advantage of Writing Down What I Eat

Knowing I'm going to write down what I eat causes me to stop and think about whether I really want it that bad.

Monday

Every morning I have two cups of coffee which I think I figured at one time are about 4o calories each.

I ate a breakfast bar as I was driving into work (160)

About 10:45 I ate a banana

For lunch I had soup (Campbell's beef vegetable of some kind. It was good.) and crackers. A few saltines.

Later (about 3:45) an apple and about 175 calories worth of mixed nuts. And a Diet Mt. Dew

For supper I grilled a chicken breast and had that with turnip greens. But I made a sauce from mayo, ketchup, mustard, sugar, & hot sauce to dip the chicken in. ( I didn't eat alot of sauce.)

I also cooked some apples that had gone soft on me. ( I don't like soft apples.) I used brown sugar. (Duh. I just realized I totally forgot to put margarine in them.) I put about 3 tablespoons of vanilla ice cream on them.

So far I haven't walked.

"The Plan"

What I'm working toward doing-- at least in my mind-- is doing more at night that I used to do in the mornings so I'll have time when I get up to walk for 15 minutes before I go to work.

There's things like--

• setting up my coffee pot the night before so all I have to do is push a button
• finding what I'm going to wear and being sure it gets ironed the night before
• fixing my lunch bag the night before with those things that do not have to be refrigerated
  
• reading my Bible in the evening, instead of the morning. (I've already noticed that's good because I don't have a deadline and I can just keep on reading and reading and reading.) As for prayer, since I've gone to work, I'm almost scared to go to work without praying before I go. There's too much that comes up that I need God's help with.
• whatever blogging I do--- like now :D. (It seems I just have to sit here for a minute while I drink that first cup of coffee and wake up a litte. The important thing is that I not linger more than a few minutes.) Do my blogging in the evening.
  
• taking my shower at night (although I must confess, in the winter time, my skin is so dry that when I take a shower at night, I have a huge problem with dry skin and I feel like a dog with fleas. I itch, itch, itch. So if I don't want to deal with that, I wait and shower in the morning.Besides, if I walk like I need to, I may NEED a shower when I'm done.

I think if I did those things in the evening, I'd add back 15 minutes to my mornings in which I could Walk with Leslie. It looks like she took down her video clip of the original Walk a Mile that you could get online, but I have it so no matter.
