This is my week 13 Weekly Weight Loss Vlog and 12th Weigh In and my submission video for Week 4 of the Survivor Fitness Challenge.

I put my heart and soul into this video and it isn’t all pretty.

For this challenge, we had to work with a partner to improve our support network. I worked with whom I thought would benefit my weight loss the most: my live-in partner Ian.

1. Exercise:

We developed an exercise regime we can do together.

This was a combination of the exercise I have been doing since Week 2 of the Survivor Fitness Challenge. We decided not to introduce new exercise as I have only been exercising for 2 weeks after a 2 year break from exercise. Ian selected the route which was hilly and very hard!

I biked to the half way point, whilst Ian ran. Once half way, I did my Couch25K Training whilst Ian rode the bike. I then biked back home again.

Route Length: 7 miles
Time Taken: 1.5 hours
Calories Burned for Me: 1200 Ian: 1500

2. Food

We developed a healthy meal, including Starter (Entree), Main Course and Side Dishes.

No calories are listed as going into this much analysis with my food leads me to obsessing. All foods however are healthy, low fat and full of goodness.

Starter / Entree: Melon and Strawberries with dusting of Cinnamon and Nectar (Honey substitute, plant nectar)

Main: Salmon Fillet (dry fried) and Asparagus Tips (steamed)

Sides: Salad of Baby Spinach, Tomato and Cucumber with Balsamic Vinger
Stuffed Red Peppers. The filling was Oyster Mushrooms (dry fried), Cous Cous, Lemon and Seasoning. I also added a little Feta Cheese. The whole thing was baked for 30 minutes.

Update:

I am weighing myself once a month at my local Chemist or Doctors Surgery. I ran over my scale with my Van (video on my main page). My weigh in this week was 219 pounds (-3 pounds from last week).

I am still maintaining the Couch25K programme, biking and walking 6 days each week.

This was a difficult week. I am re-assessing everything. It wasn’t perfect. My support wasn’t as supportive as I’d hoped. But that’s life! I can, but move forward.

POWER TOOLS 101s 04 VALUES by James Lee Valentine.

WHAT ARE VALUES?

Simply defined, values are the conditions that are most important to you. They are the things you believe in and the qualities you rate the highest in your life.

Values constitute your winning philosophy and give you the greatest sense of satisfaction and strongest feelings of self worth and accomplishment.

It can be said that the achievement of true success is first anchored to enduring values. You must first get clear about what is most important in your life, then decide that you will live by these values no matter what happens.

Your values define who you will become.

It is vital for a successful, well balanced and harmonious life that your values are in alignment with your goals.

For maximum happiness to be attained you must first know what your values are in life and then base your goals around them, not vice versa.

Conflict and strife will inevitably occur when your personal goals are out of alignment with your values.

First determine what values are really important to you . . . then build your life around them, instead of going through life in a free wheeling go with the flow kind of fashion.

It is a fact that values guide your every decision . . . and, therefore, they have the power to direct your ultimate destiny.

For maximum benefits from this POWER TOOLS 101s series, watch these videos again at those moments when you need immediate inspiration and long-term financial empowerment.

These are positive power messages of the highest degree.

Watch them . . . listen to them . . . and become immediately empowered through the absolute force of these inspiring words.

Through these POWER TOOLS 101s presentations, I hope you were able to FEEL THE POWER from deep inside your heart and soul. This power, once you tap into it, can transform your life.
