My fitness goals for 2008 are:



Cardio exercise 4 X week(gym machines, power walk, swim,)

Weight training 4 X week (2 upper body and 2 lower body workouts)

Yoga 3X week



Complete the ING 1/2 Marathon Walk in Ottawa in May.



Lose 3" on my waist and 3 " on my hips by June 2008.



Reduce my Body Fat % to 25% by June 2008.



Eat mindfully - be aware what I put into my body - it has to be something that will do me good - not just something that will make me feel good for a few minutes!

I work out at the gym, at home I have an elliptical and some weights for those days I just can;t get to the gym, and outdoors whenever possible, walking, roller blading, skiing or skating in the winter.



I have found the Cardio-Coach series fabulous. Any body else use them? they are a guided cardio workout, mostly using interval training , and can be adapted for any machine, or running and are very flexible at several different levels.



The narrator is really motivating and I find they keep me from being bored and make the workout go fast.



I actually love exercising and have done so all my life - it has never been something I don't enjoy (well hardly ever) - food is the problem for me - I just love to eat and I eat too much!!!!

Please advise what the water bottle symbol is for and how it can bve accessed?



Also is there somewhere to track food eaten or is it just total calories?



Thanks



Tamara

What is the water bottle symbol in the corner of my profile for and how do I activate it?

Hi,



I really have been enjoying listening to F2F radio podcasts - and what I like about it is that you emphasize reality and reasonable goals - no extreme promises! I have been fighting the ubiquitous 10 lbs all my life but now that I am approaching my 50 th birthday - I really need to get it off for good. I have had alot of accidents and iinjuries in the past few years which prevented me from working out at the level that I need to to lose weight but I am healed and motivated and ready to go!



By the way I am another Canadian on board!
