as far as immunity.. vitamin c, green tea, wash hands thoroghly and frequently all the way up your wrists and under your nails, do not put your hands near your face ( alot of colds could be prevented if peeps kept hands off nose, mouth, and eyes) , take shoes off before entering house ( you bring in TONS of germs and toxins on the bottom of your shoes! ) eat whole foods ( veggies, fruits, fish etc), get enough sleep, do whatever you have to to reduce stress, orgasm ( seriously it helps boost your immunity . better to have sex w a partner assuming your both clean and safe as you get an immunity boost from your mans sperm if healthy and clean. i watch Dr Oz what can i say! ), carry your own pen! the bank pens are nasty!, carry small thing of sanitizer w you. good luck! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif

well a bit bummed out (OK AM really BUMMED) as gained weight https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cry.gif but i know it’s bc have been eating bf’s junk food instead of sticking to my own healthy stuff. have been working out everyday. so looks like 3 things 1 no eating in front of tv ( i eat soo much more this way!) 2 no drinking cals (have been drinking alot of oj and milk ..lots of cals!) 3 must bump up intensity or time w workouts either a moderate pace for 1 hour or high intensity for 30mins. also going to have to use ketchup instead of bbq sauce for a while (tons of cals in bbq sauce and i use a huge glob!) SO HAPPY EVERYONE HAS JOINED ME IN THIS FITNESS JOURNEY!!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_sunny.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_salut.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/bom.gif

as far as counting cla si never have or would (too much work. you should think of this as a lifestyle change, not a quick fix and if you can’t see yourself doing something long term it may not work. like for me i could count cals for about a day and than i would be going crazy. i do read labels carefully and write down EVERY bite i eat. every bite includes the tasting you do while cooking and what you may pick of your kids plate. everything. don’t forget liquid cals to! liquor, juice, milk etc just writting it down and reviewing at end of week lets me see where i need to improve and what food sustain me ( yougurt w nuts? usually won’t eat again for 2 hrs,bag of chips? 30mins later am hungry. i mark times i eat as well and what i was feeling. hungry, bored, etc)
as far as chkn my mom has a great recipes using skinless boneless chkn breasts w black beans and salsa. i thought it sounded gross, but tastes delish! and so filling! lots of protein. when i eat a nice portion of this i usually don’t eat again for a few hours. will get it and post asap. off to do 30mins cardio!
-
yes keeping a food journal helped me alot when i was losing alot of weight back in the day. you have to be consistent and should include every bite and sip (calorie drinks) and review at the end of the week to see what you could improve and get an idea of your eating patterns. it’s not easy, but most things worth having ain’t easy! WE CAN DO THIS!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/bom.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/bom.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/bom.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/bom.gif

I called my house insurance agent and got a hugh number.. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_sad.gif i wish there was a national pole dance ins. agency.. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cool.gif

also I am writting all my goals down on a paper and putting it on my fridge so i can keep in mind what my goals are. ok here is something i LOVE eating too : vanilla nonfat yogurt w cinnamon, pumpkin spice, and cinnamon. i add mixed nuts for healthy fat and protien ( not to mention minerals and vitamin b and e) .. i think it is DELISH and filling. i also found that i like salad greens topped w watermelon small chunks and berries. adds sweetness and makes you so full from all the water content in the fruit! i used to eat a frozen pizza that was 1,200 calories ( yes im serious!) to 1 that is 425 cals. you really have to be careful w cals and serving size. the 1,200 cal pizza said it was 400 cals. A SERVING!!! ( turns out a serving was 1/3 of the pizza!) so i will weigh myself and take / post a pic of myself when get home after work later. i saw the pic i took for the toning thread and it’s hard to look at bc my abs were alot flatter.. will be there again and better though!! so i would say
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_idea.gif post your stats (if you feel comfortable) like weight, measurments, what your working on as far as pole or other fitness goals, your avaerage energy level from 1-10 (w 1 being no energy at all, and 10 feeling like superwoman) so can see if your avaerage energy level goes up by day 100, and whatever goals you have so can monitor progress and be accountable. i posted my goals and tips on my fridge.
remember : SMALL DEEDS ARE BETTER THAN BIG INTENTIONS!!!! GOOD LUCK ALL! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_king.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_queen.gif https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_batman.gif

yes setting goals will be important to stay motivated and track progress. goals can be anything you want as long as it’s health/fitness related. Sept 1 starts it officially, but started today myself. did 5 flights up and down, 20 mins cardio, 5-7 mins stretching, (all at work overnight) and just came home and did a 30 min boxing dvd that had me DRIPPING sweat! i also had oatmeal instead of poptarts, and toasted only half of my whole wheat jumbo bagel ( w PB yum!)
ok so here are my goals for the 100 Day challenge :https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_arrow.gif shop for healthy food every fri after work ( eat alot of junk on weekends bc by than food is running low)
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_arrow.gif use a partial menu plan for week/weekend ( can’t plan every last meal everyday, but can plan what will have for breakfeast and dinner ( lunch can be what i feel in moderation)
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_arrow.gif push-ups and pull ups every other day ( 20 push ups, 8 pull ups)
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_arrow.gif 20 mins cardio and stretch every night i work ( helps the time pass!)
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_arrow.gif pole 2x week ( have been slacking so bad since hot weather hit)
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_arrow.gif get back to 140 and my little 2 pack!
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_arrow.gif end of every 2 weeks ( as long as did well) get a massage (never had 1 professionally and know this would be a nice reward for hard work)
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_arrow.gif achieve CW/ HS, Jacknife, Pencil mount, and do Rubber Pencil (wo cheating! )
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_arrow.gif continue to keep a food journal ( but actually keep it going on the weekends! )
https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_arrow.gif -
