ok…

Tomorrow is the big day.  My neighbor will be coming over in the morning to start exercising!

I’m a little worried.

I can already feel my lungs moaning.  That is not a good thing right?  I need to get those bad thoughts out of my head!  Forge forward.  Get excited.  Try my hardest.  DO it!

I think these last couple of days have brought home to me the importance of having someone to do this with.  And while I have had some good cheering from the people online (Sally you are awesome!) It is so easy to walk away from the computer and feel like working out or not eating those cookies, but it is quite another to follow through…

#justsaying

We all know that is true!  Only those crazy, weird, freak of nature people that have ALWAYS thrived on working out and being active – yeah, I mean you…  can just keep jumping up and go, go, go!!  Though i hear that when you do something for a certain number of weeks, it becomes a routine and you don’t feel like you have to put in any effort to do it.  That being said…

I cheered in school, I ran track, I played basketball, I played softball…  and I have NEVER enjoyed working out.  so what is the key?  what will get me over that hump?  what will make me enjoy it?

I am hoping the fact that I finally realize I need to look the way I feel with help keep me motivated, and seeing results will make me hate it less, and adjusting my attitude will make it fun and enjoyable!  Here’s hoping!

Day 3

I think I need to start over.  Mainly because I haven’t done anything yet.  Oh wait, I did eat breakfast today… but really, does that count?

I did not walk on the treadmill last night.  Maybe I need to rethink that plan… waiting until both hubby and son are tucked away in bed to work out?  Doesn’t seem like the best plan because when that time comes, I love to get on my computer and catch up on things!  ….and I’ll admit, I love just basking in the quiet time…

But I still need to figure this out.  Neighbor doesn’t want to start working out until Monday.  I assume though when she shows up at my house to work out – I will!   So Maybe I’ll start day 1 on Monday… see how I procrastinate?  I’m good at it.

Anyone have good advice on how to just do something??  that is SO easy to say, but so hard to do! LITERALLY.

Day 2

It is now day 2 of my journey.

Have I worked out?

NO!

But I have lost 2 pounds according to the scale.  I know that it is just because I haven’t eaten yet.  But I’m still hoping those 2 pounds stay away forever… I’m hiding from them and begging their friends to follow them into the wild abyss!

So now – here is one of the biggest problems I have in losing weight…  I find it very hard to eat before 2 pm.  I KNOW you need to eat breakfast.  I know you should kick your metabolism into gear by eating small meals all day.  YES, I KNOW THIS…

But, doing it is a different story.

My neighbor and I are going to start working out on Monday… and while that seems like a good procrastination (I’m good at that – you should read the post I just did at my main blog!)  Anyway…  Her father is in town and he is leaving Sunday – So we will start Monday morning…

I may start tonight though… we’ll see… I told my hubby last night that I think i will walk on the treadmill for an hour and read…  Combine exercise with the reading time I never seem to take anymore… combine the 2 things I need/love to do…  For the record… reading is my love, not walking on the treadmill!

But then I didn’t do it last night… So maybe I will tonight!
