I got a little "kick in the pants"...

I went to the support group meeting at EMMC on Friday. A lot of post-ops were talking about exercising a lot--and when it came my turn to talk (I was actually sweating and wanting to when it came to me because I am painfully shy), I admitted that I used to be really good the first month or so about exercising, but that I hadn't done anything for a quite a while . I have lost 78.5 lbs in 4 months and had sort of gotten to that stage of thinking "I can lose weight and not even work out" and had gotten lazy about it to be honest. Lynn then responded by saying that if I didn't start doing something, around the 7-9 month mark the weight loss would slow...........welllllllllllllllllllll, that was all she had to say--it motivated me a lot. I have an elliptical machine at home and got a set of really nice weights for Christmas--so since the support group meeting I have worked out every day--and have even gotten faster on my elliptical trainer. I guess all I really needed was a kick.

I did not go to Curves even once in the month of December. I was planning on starting back tomorrow but DH will be gone most the day and I am SURE I will not feel like going in after dark. I do not drive after dark unless it is for a good reason, specially in the winter. I am getting more like mom every day. Wed I WILL be there and Thursday and Friday. I am scared I will stop losing. I am 28 pounds from Danas goal for me and 33 from my personal goal. I HAVE to make her goal or I am afraid I could never forgive myself. You have inspired me!! I might even exercise some here at home!! See ya!!! Theresa OpenRNY 7/15/03 235/168/140?135
