Another Random Poll o' the Week: Confess it and Profess it!

Oh gosh, I'm the Queen of Excuses when it comes to exercise.   The one I use most of the time is I'm too tired or I don't have time.  I thought joining a gym might help, so I joined Planet Fitness last April and canceled this April.  Do you know how many times I went?   NONE!!

I don't really make excuses about anything else except exercise.  When i had my original RNY in 2004, I used to get up at 6 AM every day and did 30 minutes Walk Away the Pounds - religiously - and sometimes did it again when i got home from work!    Now I just can't bring myself to do it.  (Here comes another excuse),  I'm 8 years older and I don't sleep the way I used to,so I hate to get up any earlier than I have to. 

I'm thinking of just doing some dancing.  Put on the iPod and just dance around the house for 15 -20 minutes to start.  Also, now that the weather is getting nice, I really owe it to the dog to start getting her out for walks.

We'll see, I know that the Fat Girl in my head is always ready with an excuse why I shouldn't do good things for myself, but Healthy Girl is going to start speaking up a little louder!  I know how much better I felt when I used to exercise, so I don't know why I don't just start???  Who the heck knows....?  Believe me, the surgery was the EASY part of this journey,  CHANGING the way I think is the challenge!!

 My excusses  right now are about my vitamins. I havent been doing them all because it's too complicated and I need to pick up a pill thing for them.  
I also make the excuse that I am only a month out and havent found the right schedual to take them yet.  ugh    I need to get this in check.
Anyone have a certian way they take their vits for the day? It's all confusing to me.
Or am I just making excuses again????

With exercise, there a times when my knees truly hurt too much to do much of anything (even walking), but then there are times when the knees hurt less and I COULD get on the recumbent bike, but my excuse is that, if I do so, it might make them hurt more.

With food, if I am eating for comfort or in response to a PTSD-related flashback or trigger, I can sometimes justify eating with the idea that eating to soothe the pain is less destructive than drinking or misusing my Vicodin.
