New Starts

Well I haven't started mine yet! I was planning on starting the 5 day plan today, but didn't get organised and a bunch of other stuff that I could troll out as excuses, but won't. I'm just finding it hard to get into gear again after eating over Christmas. How are you doing? I read in one of Andi's posts the question, what small measures are you putting into place to make a difference (or words to that effect anyway - sorry if I've quoted you wrong Andi) I am trying to be more active generally - instead of asking daughter or hubbie to get something for me, I will get up off my backside and get it myself! I've bought myself a skipping rope - used it once so far the other week. I plan to do a little skipping every evening. As my daughter has changed schools I will also HAVE to walk 1 mile every day to pick her up (we reduced to being a one car family when I was in an energetic and money saving mood!!)

Hi Ruth I have started taking my dogs for a walk again and running part of the way back... I do my best to keep away from carbs.... I allow myself a bite, but that's it except protein chips.....I am soooo afraid of gaining it back....and just sick of others telling me what I should weigh.... I do think our bodies adjust to what they will be... that walk of yours is good for you... and I think its pretty cool that you are doing that....

Ruth, I haven't gotten the fresh start I wanted either, but I'm taking little steps to a healthier lifestyle. I actually have taken the stairs a bit at work. I vow to take a least one flight up and down a day!! Diane
