Penny’s Tip I know I should workout; however, when I’m finished my day,

I just have no energy left. Any suggestions? Submitted by: Don

It’s scientifically proven that exercising actually gives you more energy. The stresses of the day can drag you down for sure. The best way to battle that stress and revitalize yourself so you enjoy the rest of your day, is a good workout. It’s probably just the thought that it will be even more tiring, that is holding you back. Try it a couple times; the stress relief and the revitalized feeling comes almost immediately. If they don’t, chances are you are not eating properly. If you need help with a diet plan and/or a workout for the gym or at home, we, at Big Bear’s Fitness, have Personal Trainers available early mornings, daytime, evenings and weekends. Give us a call to book your first appointment and get started today.

Email your question for Penny to: heresthescoop@shaw.ca.For your complete fitness centre, check out Big Bear’s.

Call Penny at 912-9300 for a consultation.

Blue Team Blog:Not much to report this week. Boot camp was cool. I was able to do most of the stations Penny set up for us with a certain proficiency. Hit the gym 4 times this week, so that is bet-ter than I’ve been doing. I still can’t seem to get enough sleep though. I know that’s affecting my weight loss. Earl said so! Only down 1 1/2 lbs this week. That would have to be my low, I guess. This week was kinda blah. Can we have a redo?! I’m also sad because I only get to have one pita this week. But a meal plan is a meal plan. Must... resist... urge...! I sure do love those buffalo chicken pita pizzas at Extreme Pita. Anyway, next week will be better...I can feel it. Until next time!~ Tim

orange Team Blog:I had a great week this week with losing 2 ¾ lbs. Lisi and I both worked hard this week and saw the results at the end of the week. The highlight of the week was joining in on a “step/butts and guts” class on Monday morning at Big Bear’s Fitness. We were literally dying during the class and found out afterwards that it was a 50+ class. We had many laughs during and after the class. Our coordination is definitely lacking but we will definitely go again! We worked every body part and the soreness was there to prove it the following day. I made one trip to Extreme Pita this week, and once again

thoroughly enjoyed the “Tuna Pita”. We’re looking forward to another week of new recipes (from Simply For Life) and more weight loss.~ Rochelle

reD Team Blog: Hi everyone...we are at week 7 and LOVING IT! It’s sad that this is going to be over soon, but yet I am excited to know if I can do this, or should I say, “we” can do this alone! I believe Shawn and I can...we really enjoy the time together and really being in-tune with each other and noticing the changes within ourselves and each other. I have noticed that this has brought us closer as a couple. We complement each other, share our struggles and highlights, and at the end, our goals are the same...TO BE HEALTHY.I can’t wait for the day to start, and eat and feel good about it. I can’t wait for working out and I definite-ly can’t wait for the weekends to be over for boot camp, and Wednesdays weigh in’s. Is there such a thing as Post Extreme Loser’s Blues? I know I will get them.

If there is any advice I can give to anyone wanting to change their lifestyle and lose weight.....first off is “positive thinking;” second, the focus should not be on the numbers on the scale, it’s how “you feel” and the inches that you no-tice as you put on your clothes. As well, remember you didn’t put this weight on yesterday, so take it “day by day” until you reach your goal...enjoy each milestone, even if it’s 1/2 lb, because you did it..nobody else did! We all just want to lose it now and that’s where we all will fail, not “setting and expecting a realistic goal.” With support of family and friends, and most of all “your own support,” you can do it! Again, I would just like to say, “Thanks” for all your support out there!~ Corrinna

YelloW Team Blog: Hey there sports fans, Bill here!Wow, another week gone, and yes, more weight too!! I lost 2.5 lbs again this week. I cannot believe that I have lost 33 lbs so far. If I can do this folks, you all can too. Boot camp this week was amazing as usual. Penny always seems to make a few new routines that make us cringe. This week we started using the half balance ball and did leg extensions. This proved to be a little difficult. Penny asked me to just think that in a few weeks that we will be doing my favourite ‘Turtles’ on the balance ball. Oh dear! Bring it on!!Jamie has got a great hit for us with the Chicken Stew as a lunch choice. It is becoming both Donna’s and my favourite meal!! It is my birthday this week, and I am on the way to looking like I did 15 years ago. Never thought it would be possible, but we are getting there. Donna has been a pillar of strength through

all of this, and without her in this as my partner it would be much more difficult. Thanks honey for everything. We are in this for the long haul, and the life change is great!Great to see that between all teams, we have lost the equiva-lent of one person – 160 lbs. Congrats to everyone so far. Stay tuned to see how the next few weeks shape up – as we are in the home stretch, and there are more pounds to shed. Go Yellow Go!~ Bill
