Get Fit Challenge-November 2010

Do you have some personal fitness goals for 2010? 
~ Do you need a little 'extra' motivation/incentive? 
~ Would you like a little (healthy) competition?
 
Join Stroller Strides®’ National "Get Fit Challenge"! 
 
This will be a 3 month long challenge Starting November 22nd, to see what changes you can make in your life to create a healthier, stronger, leaner you!  Just think, you've already got the exercise part down (you may just need to step it up a notch or two at class) so now you just need to add in the proper eating habits.  The best part is that you will have your fellow Stroller Striders encouraging you along the way so you are sure to succeed!  Enter as an individual or enter as a couple with your spouse!  
Note - you MUST be at least 9 months postpartum with NO KNOWN HEALTH CONCERNS to enter the challenge.  The person whom makes the most significant improvements in their fitness levels will be our "Get Fit Challenge Winner".
 
Are you up for it? 
 
DETAILS: 
Register with Stephanie Klein NO LATER than November 15th,   at
stephanieklein@strollerstrides.net
 
The initial testing will be done the Friday November 19th at 10:30 at the Walt Whitman Mall and Saturday November 20th at 10:30 at Tanger Outlets.  You will receive a body fat analysis test preformed by Stephanie, weight, measurements and a get fit book. 
If you cannot make it either one of these days please contact Stephanie at stephanieklein@strollerstrides.netto make other arrangements
  
 
SUPPORT IS PARAMOUNT!  Start telling your family and friends that this is something you are doing and that you need their support.  Maybe your husband even wants to jump aboard the healthy lifestyle train with you?  Make your health a priority…your family is counting on you!
 
SET UP AND VERBALIZE REALISTIC GOALS: Where would you like to see yourself in 3 months?  This goal is different for everyone.  We all have very different body types and everyone has a comfortable zone that they should be at.  Know what that is for you and make it a healthy, reachable goal.
 
THE WINNERS will be the persons who lose the most % of body fat points.  This makes it fair for ALL body types, sizes and shapes to compete against each other in this challenge.  PLEASE make sure you understand this.  
 
EXAMPLE -
Person 1 starts out at 40% fat, and drops down to 30%, they've lost 10% fat,
But only 25% of their total body fat percentage.
This is how it is figured..... (.10 divided by .40 = .25)
 
Person 2 starts out at 20% fat, and drops down to 10%, they've lost 10% fat,
BUT 50% of their total body fat percentage
This is how it is figured..... (.10 divided by .20 = .50)
Person 2 would be the winner.
 
THE COST
The cost for the challenge is $50 and includes the weekly weight ins, before and after results, weekly tips and recipes.
 
 SELF MOTIVATION: We will take care of giving you fantastic workouts at your Stroller Strides classes but the self motivating part comes with your eating.  You are on your own here because we are all so different and our likes and dislikes vary, you need to know what works best for you.  We will give you healthy recipe ideas and suggestions every week for the duration of the challenge.  Remember, this is NOT A DIET but a lifestyle change that you commit to making to see results.
 
YOU AND STROLLER STRIDES AS A TEAM: You may NOT hire a personal trainer to help you during this challenge.  You can attend Stroller Strides classes as much as you want and work out on your own as much as you want aside from classes at home or at a gym if you wish.  You must be a current Stroller Strides member, instructor or playgroup captain to enter the challenge.
 
 
*NOTE: Before embarking on any fitness program, it is strongly recommended that you consult with your physician.  Stroller Strides does not guarantee any specific results with this challenge.

Spring into Fitness & Fun in May

Spring into Fitness & Fun in May (May Newsletter)

Take a Sick Day for the Soul

Think back to those childhood days when faking illness was considered an art form used for one very important purpose: to guarantee a great day of sleeping in, watching TV all day long, being pampered and wearing your pajamas to breakfast, lunch AND DINNER. Ahh, the luxury of a (not so) sick day.

PLAY HOOKY

Act like a Kindergartner: Wake up early to watch cartoons; stay in your pajamas all day long; eat cookies for breakfast; have naptime; run around outside; eat peanut butter and jelly for lunch; laugh a lat; make a mess; be completely carefree

Act like a Teenage: Paint your nails bright red; red magazines and take the quizzes; eat chips and drink sodas (not too much!); chat on the phone for hours; ride a roller coaster; watch a scary movie; read trashy novels; don't call you mother; break all the rules.

Act like a Responsible Adult: Balance your checkbook; clean the house; do the laundry; organize the closet; catch up on some reading; buy a gadget for your kitchen; go grocery shopping; eat three well balanced meals; to go be early-HUMMM this one sounds like me EVERYDAY minus the screaming kids!!!

A Broken Heart



My best friend was taken from me March 15, 2010

A Broken Heart

You were taken away from me and I just don't understand why,
God took a piece of me and didn't even let me say goodbye
A best friend, a companion, the most loyal dog I ever had
You were always there for me, especially when I was sad
A precious little soul that was so easy for me to see
I really don't understand why God took you from me
You gave me unconditional love, a love so innocent and pure
If only I could have done, just a little bit more
I am so sorry I wasn't with you, when it was your time to leave
I wish I had done things differently, I sit here and grieve.
The sparkle in your eyes may be gone
but the memories of your life will always live on
In our hearts you have filled a special place
The happiness and joy you brought to us we could never erase
I hope you know Moo Moo how much you mean to me
If only I would have know I promise I would have done things differently
I would have stayed with you all through the night
I would have never EVER went on that flight
If I had known that day would be the end
I would have stayed with you my forever friend
One day I know I will see you again
That will be the day my broken heart with mend.

I will never forget you Mooskie

Life's Lessons...

One of my favorite things to read.  I truly believe everything it says and live my life this way...

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were
meant to be there….to serve some sort of purpose, teach u a lesson or
help figure out who you are or who you want to become

You never know who these people may be but when you lock eyes with them, you
know that every moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.

And sometimes things happen to you at the time you may seem horrible,
painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without
overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential, strength, will power or heart.

Everything happens for a reason
Nothing happens by chance or by means of good luck.
Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer
Stupidity all occurs to test the limits of your soul.

Without these small tests, life would be like a smoothly paved,
Straight, flat road to nowhere
Safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless.

The people you meet affect your life.
The successes and downfalls that you experience can create who you are,
And the bad experiences can be learned from.
In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones.

If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart
forgive them because
they have helped you learn and trust and the importance of being cautious
to whom you open your heart to

If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only
Because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love and open
your heart and eyes to little things

Make everyday count
Appreciate every moment and take from it
everything that you possibly can,
for you may never be able to experience it again.
Talk to people you never talked to before, and actually listen

Let yourself fall in love, break free and set your sights high.
Hold your head up because you have every right to.
Tell yourself you are great individual and believe in yourself,
for if you don’t believe in yourself,
no one else will believe in you.
