I'm Still out of control !!!

Okay I'm too embarrassed to admit that I'm still eating and not exercising , so I'm going to try one more time to join in with the rest of y'all and get this last 20 pounds off before March 31 st. I even went out last weekend and bought one of those exercise balls and a pedometer. Well , guess what , I've used the ball one time !!! Tonight when I get home I'm going to exercise with it for 15 minutes and walk on the treat mill for 15 minutes . There , I should be able to handle this and not be overwhelmed . Folks , pray for me !! Y'all have a good evening and I'll check in tomorrow to see , if we're all doing good !! Judy

Hey Judy- Dont feel so bad... I'm just as guilty. My treadmill is feeling VERY neglected as for exercise use, but its feeling good that its useful as a clothing rack LOL! I'm an asthmatic so I cant do any cardio stuff and my dr says to exersize but take it sllllllooooooowwww (and thats how he says it... drags out the "slow" for seconds) Its so crappy weather wise here in NJ so I cant get out and walk and my pocketbook cant handle any more walks at the mall... I always come home with way too much! I'm feeling very guilty that my weight is still coming off slowly but surely (about 7 lbs every 2 weeks) Everyone has been working so hard on thier exercises and thier diets and I've been slacking off so much! I'm considering Yoga. Has anyone taken a class? Is it worth it? Get a good workout? From what I understand its no cardio but stretching and stuff like that. That and I need to add some weight lifting to tone up the flabby areas. I'll pray for you if you pray for me.... to get off of my butt and actually get some exercise! -Janine

Judy, You can do it! The hardest part about exercise is getting started. Once you get your work out clothes on then its smooth sailing (well...). The past 2 months for me have been terrible. I was working out then ended up getting sick. Stopped working out. Was doing pretty well for about a week and never started back to the gym. I was about to start back again and I ended up getting a cold again! SO that lasted a week or 2 and then the holidays were here and I just never got back into it. SO my resolution this year is ... do it no matter what. It was SOOO hard to just go downstairs at lunch time and get into those clothes and start working out again. (gym is at my work). BUT I did it and you sure can too I need to work out when I get home and do my pilates tapes. I was going to last night but never did. SOO lets make a little pact that tonight we will get to exercising and we can check in with each other tomorrow Deal? Elizabeth M P.S. Oh neat I got to use the deal smiley!

Okay , I'm going to work out tonight !! I'll let you know tomorrow what I did . Thanks for caring !! Judy

check in tomorrow! Today is the 2monts from my anniversary date and that jolted me. I am low carbing again. And I am going to curves tonight. I do enjoy curves--don't know why i'm too lazy to go. One day at a time. That's all we can do...hell, for me, it's often one minute at a time!

Girl dont feel bad. There are alot of us out here struggling right along with you. I have come to the conclusion this is just like dieting. Of course when I eat the amts I am supposed to I get full so easier than dieting before. We cant beat ourselves up about it. Just keep working at it. No one said it would be easy but I just kept thinking I would not want to eat after surgery. Well I do. So we have to work at it and support each other. Look how far we have come. I find the best motivation is seeing how much my life has changed. I dont feel like an outcast anymore. I fell good about the way I look(well, with clothes on-hehe). I am proud of all u guys and am proud to be part of your group. Good luck to you. LaDonna -131

Judy, so many of us are exactly where you are so don't feel embarrassed or ashamed, that's what we're here for -- EACH OTHER! I just want you to rethink one statement in your last post: "...I'm going to try one more time to join in with the rest of y'all..." Please don't ever think that this is the last time for anything, but especially for staying close to us! No matter what, NO MATTER WHAT, we're here for you, just like I know you're here for us! One day at a time, Judy. Take care, Maureen
