It really Works!!

Hi Guys & Gals, O.K. so I am just a little slow at things, but it really does work, you know the exercise thing. I have been out of bet at 4:30 A.M. for the last week to do my exercise Video & ya know what. I have actually lost 5 of the 10 lbs that I gained over the last month & a half. The @#$% scale is actually moving down again. Just maybe, I can keep it going in this direction an actually get to goal after all. All of a sudden I seem to have my head back on straight & Cut out the Carbs as well. Went back to all protein accept the carbs I get in the creamer I put in my Coffee (decaf) Have also cut out all of the caffiene. Just can't stop the coffee, Yet. Have cut way back, but along way from stopping. I am also drinkg 80 to 100 oz. of water a day as well as the coffee & before was hardly getting any water in. So I guess the basics are a good thing to do once in awhile. Just thought I would share Marilyn, the Bearlady

I'm so proud of you! Here's a tiny bit of advice -- try to shift your focus from the numbers on the scale toward how you FEEL -- how does the workout make you FEEL after each session? Try to really concentrate on the new sensations of strength and power in your body. If we can make this emotional, psychological shift, we are much more apt to continue the behavior. Good for you, Marilyn! Reenie

Thanks Reenie & yup, that is what I have been doing the last couple of days. I also am only weighing once a week now as everyday was killing my head. to many fluctuations in my body these days. But i do feel better so I will keep it up. I actually made it through the whole hour tape today, instead of stopping after about 40 min. Thats a good thing too!! Marilyn

Good for you, Marilyn!!! Yes, unfortunately for all of us lazy folks, that nasty old exercise routine is really critical!!! Congratulations on your turnaround and I wish you continued success! Mike

Thanks Mike & I really am keeping up with it. I think it has to do with really liking my new job & started liking myself again. That is going along way in keeping me motivated. It's been a long Time coming!! Marilyn, the Bearlady :wve:
