Wednesday is here again. I weighed myself this morning and the scale still hasn't budged. It is stuck at 159 lbs. But don't worry I'm not giving up and I know I still have a lot of changes to make. But first, how did I do last week? I did pretty well on the exercise front exercising every day (except the weekend) during LK's morning nap. This definitely is a habit I want to continue and I feel so much better when I do it. I drank my water pretty faithfully as well. On the pop front I did have 3 cans of coke over the week but that is definitely better than the 7+ cans I will sometimes drink. For this week coming up I want to work on reducing my portion sizes and eating more fruits and vegetables.
Now I mentioned previously that I typically work out using exercise videos. This work well for me as I do not live close to a gym, the weather is Sask is pretty unpredictable and most of the year not great for working out in, and the DVD's motivate me to keep going. If you are looking to purchase exercise DVD's I recommend checking out Collage Video. They have so many workout videos there with short clips so you can get a feel for what you are buying. They also have user reviews and a bar graph showing how many minutes in the video are devoted to warm-up, aerobics, toning, and stretching. In addition Collage Video has a forum so if you are interested in a particular video you can post there asking for others opinions of it. Before you buy a workout video be sure to check if it requires any equipment. This is important to know as you don't want to get a video home only to discover it requires equipment you don't have (there are many videos that don't require any equipment). Another option for those of us who are cheap (ahem, frugal) is to check the discount bins at Walmart and other stores. I have picked up a number of videos for only a dollar or two this way. Some of them were not so good but others I have really liked so I think I have come out ahead. The other place I have purchased videos is Amazon.ca. Because Collage Video is based in the States and I am in Canada by buying from Amazon.ca I can save on shipping and customs fees.
Do you do workout videos? Where do you typically purchase them?

I know of people who get exercise videos via Netflix (which is now coming to Canada). It probably wouldn't be worth it just for exercise videos, but if it's something you'd use otherwise (& you can get it out there) it might be worth looking into.
