Update

Can-Do Connection
I have heard from a few of you and hope that you will post your ideas soon! As for me, this week has been good in some areas... not so amazing in others. I am pretty successfully sticking to my crazy candida diet (only whole grains, only water to drink, any meats and veggies, select fruits and dairy) which is a hard transition to make every time I fall off the wagon so I am happy about that. But I have only run twice this week and lifted weights once so that could definitely see some improvement. :)

My goals for this week are to run for at least 30 minutes (plus a little warmup and cool-down on either end of that) 5 times and lift weights 4 times this week, alternating upper and lower body. Plus, stick to my diet of course. :) I would really like to be able to workout first thing in the day but I am having trouble accomplishing that... what? me? get out of bed before I absolutely have to? :) Kolby and I are trying to go to bed earlier (maybe aim for 9:30pm) so we CAN get up, at least walk the dog together around the block once and then maybe squeeze in a workout after that. We will give it a shot this week. I know we could do it if we just committed to it.

Well, that's my update for now! I also wanted to share a cool website where you can follow your progress in terms of how many calories you consume each day, what goals you have in terms of weight and a timeline to accomplish that in. The site is FREE!! and is called www.fitday.com. I have used it in the past. Not every food is in there but you can always use the labels from the food you are eating to enter anything not listed in the site. Its great... you should really check it out.

Have a great holiday weekend and let me know if you are having trouble using either this site or fitday! Ciao!

Can-Do Connection
Hey Laura and Ali...
This sounds like a great blog. Sounds like you are already motivated if you put this together. I am impressed! Count me in. I'll have to come up with my plan and get back to you. For now though, I have learned I have almost NO will power when it comes to chips or cookies in the house. My solution....I can't buy them or I'll eat them. My other solution...any time I am tempted by those scrumptious yummies or anything for that matter...I drink as much water as I can stand.
Bye for now.

Howdy!

From hot-as-hell Texas comes the Can-Do Connection where like-minded friends can get together (from miles apart) and cheer, vent and encourage each other in our struggles to overcome cellulite and schedules! :)

Founded by Laura Malesich and Ali Hunziker on a sunny day in Bastop, Texas (small town in the middle of nowhere) in the hopes of achieving healthier habits (that actually stick), more energy (woo hoo!) and better lives (sounds good!) we hope you will join us adding photos and stories to this blogspot. Its our first try with this too.

One idea is to post whatever your goals may be: eat veggies everyday, lose some lb's, try a 10K, fit into your bridesmaids dress by August (can you see what I might be working towards?), workout 3 days a week, etc. Put a timeline in place with your goal: let's say six weeks from now. And if ya'll are interested, put $10-$20 in an imaginary pot to go to those people who achieve their goal in six weeks time. We can play it by ear and suggestions are welcome! Of course, we will be on that good ol' honor system... but I trust you. :)

I am sure we all know friends who could benefit and enjoy this but for now I'd like to keep it to just those close friends that I trust with my deep secrets of motivation-issues and ice-cream binges. Who knows... this may be a hit and we will all want to include more people after the first time-frame is over and we see if this is beneficial or not. I hope it is.

So, this is the opening act... feel free to put up your ideas, goals, trials and tribulations and pictures too! Lookin' forward to seein' ya'll in the Can-Do Connection.

With Big Hopes!
