Hello Happy Readers...
Now we come to Resolution #2: This is year to get Healthy, Fit and Hot Hot Hot. I suppose I could post my weight and measurements -to let my fitness flag fly -but I'm not quite ready for that.
Suffice it to say that, by the end of the year I intend to:
remove, shed, bid adieu to 50 pounds
do 10 push ups
have my blood sugar back normal (it's a little high)
be in a size 8 and to feel generally better (knee & back pain bye bye).
Now, here in lies the rub...I don't like to exercise. I have exercised in the past only to stop. It's a start, stop, start, stop cycle.
I have a bit of a defeatest attitude of "Why bother, I'm only going to stop anyway" (said in the whiniest of tones)
My Gorgeous German friend, BF, told me that you need to stick with things and deal with the sucky part and success will follow. It's a simple advice, in which I almost said "Duh" (probably in my head), but the truth is, as simple it is I don't do it. Duh!
It's 11:52pm on Saturday...I'm working at 12pm tomorrow, so I leave by 11:30am(ish). I could definitely begin my exercise program tomorrow morning at 8am or 9am and have plenty of time to get ready for work.
It's a choice: sleep in or exercise.
(tap, tap, tap, tap - clock tick, tick ticking then time seemingly standing still as I ponder this thought)
I suppose sleeping in won't get me to where I want to be, huh?
Okay - small goals: This week beginning on Sunday to next Saturday, I will (clear throat):
*Prepare my w/c (workout clothes) the night before
*Go to bed 8 hours earlier, so I can be up in time to get coffee before my workout
*Either go to the gym or exercise by DVD
* I will have an exercise two/one program (Sun, Mon exercise, Tues off & Wed, Thur exercises, Frid. off & Sat exercise)
Any tips are appreciated.
Here's to me...a For-Lifer Exerciser!
I am with you on being an on again and off again exerciser! I am starting a yoga class that's one time a week at city college so that'll hopefully motivate me a bit but I've been working with a nutritionist and it's saved my ass. She has been a life saver and I've lost 8lbs. It was a bit slow coming at first but its now gaining momentum. I feel like I'm really learning how to eat better and I thought I knew but I'm learning a lot. It's so nice to have her holding my hand through it too. I still want to exercise more though, for health reasons, like you said! You always inspire me, I'm so excited to read more of your blog!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy that you are seeing results & your nutritionist is helping! Yoga is a great way to get reconnected to the body. I'm thinking that might be a good thing for me to ease myself into it. Thanks for the post & any time you want to add anything...have at it! : )
