Tip Number 4: Distractions

Sometimes, distractions are a good thing. Whether it's music, TV, or a friend, it can help to take your mind off of how many minutes you have left. Here are some suggestions as to what you can do while you exercise!

-Listen to music
-Watch a movie (portable DVD player, laptop, TV/DVD player)
-Have a friend (buddy system)
-Listen to a podcast/audiobook

I do not suggest reading a book, as you will get too caught up in reading the small type, so you will end up going slower.

Make sure that if you have a friend with you, you do not end up going slower in order to keep up the conversation without being out of breath. This will not help you at all.

And if you're going to listen to a podcast or audiobook while you exercise, only listen to that specific one while you exercise. Make it a good one, so it will seem like a reward for exercising!

Weigh-In Number 1

Yes, I know it's not much. I ate a bit of cake and fast food this week...oops.

Oh and I know this is Sunday, not Friday, but this information is from Friday. I weighed myself, but I didn't have time to check in here. :(
