Mind over Matter

"You can change your life by changing your mind. It's really that simple - nothing is impossible for the willing mind! Your challenge is to locate, nurture, and believe in your ability to do so." - Jillian
Jen's fitness test:
My fitness test didn't exactly start out too well, but got better as it went along. My aerobic heart rate was 128 - below average! This is frustrating because I can run five miles and have decent endurance, but my heart rate is always high, even my resting heart rate.
I did 22 push-ups (above average) - 36 sit ups (excellent) - and a 90 second wall sit (excellent).
So I guess I passed well enough, taking into consideration my resting heart is naturally a little high.
I then went and bought the book, so here we go!! I think the mental part of this, the changing my mind, is going to be the most crucial part of the this little experiment because I've been "trying" to do weight watchers for a few years off and on and just haven't been successful.

"It is imperative that you hone and train your mind as intensely as you train your body. After all, it's your mind that directs and drives everything you do, or don't do - so get it on your side!" - Jillian

Thanks for putting this together, Chausse! Jen
