60 minutes this morning  Some awesome time of dancing in church too. So tired right now. Need a nap

I had opportunities to dance today [introduction ceremony and a music concert in church] and I will be counting that as my exercise for the day. It was fun and there will be much more tomorrow God's willing. Nothing like praising the name of the Lord and becoming more healthy in the process of doing that.

Question of the Day: Your greatest fear about Weight Loss? Plateau is my greatest fear in weight loss and that is what I am experiencing right now. I have been here for the past 2 years and it's making me really unhappy. Right now with the new style of intensity of HIIT which I have decided on, I know something positive will start happening to me soon and the pounds will surely start to drop.

I have done this before and I am doing this again. I call it a familiarization tour, just my little way of letting you know me. Since today is 3rd, I will start with the 3rd question: A picture of your Thinspiration. What features do you like about this person? I will rather call it Fitspo or Fitspiration, I wish I had any at the moment. What we have all over the media is a photo-shopped bodies of the so-called models etc but... I actually have one aunty [She lives abroad] who I watched shrink in a healthy way in just a year. She was so determined and strong willed, I would like to be like her when I grow old. I am not really fantasized about her physical features but her mind set which is taking her to places health-wise. Find below her sparkpage link... http://www.sparkpeople.com/mypage.asp?id=FEMISLIM

HIIT = High Intensity Interval Training I did this workout with Jessica Smith this morning. It was not all sweaty but my heart rate was high and I knew something was going on there. I just read yesterday that if I really want this weight loss so well I must be ready to do the HIIT at least 5 times in week with at least 50 minutes timing. Today I could do only 20 minutes before I felt fainting and tired but I will surely get there soon. One day [If I push on today) soon, this blog will become so popular and become a reference point because I will have lost weight in a healthy way then.

I had been off working out for two days (self imposed rest), I think it's GS or.... that is too early to start misbehaving though. Anyways, I did the exercise I was supposed to do yesterday this morning, it was not sweaty [the weather was cold] but my heart rate was high [I will try that again] and I felt a little dizzy so I stopped. It's my IF day (spiritual though) [don't mind my abbv today]. You are not to understand it. I think my blog is more like a diary, Ok, a fitness diary or something like that. Or fitness rantings. Or fitness babblings. Or fitness gleanings. Whatever... I love that I am doing this and I can only see a end that is not near soon. To cut the long story short, I took off from where I stopped with my streak this morning. I am most definitely working my way up. SEE YOU AT THE TOP OF THE LADDER OF FITNESS AND STRENGTH.
