Going shopping, and not getting anything.
I went to college to take a test today. I feel that I did well. Afterwards I decided to go to the store to walk around. I thought that might be a good exersize choice today. I don’t like working out when people are watching, today all of my family was home and since we are remodeling the family room, I didn’t think that I would be able to get away from everyone. I would normally take the dog for a walk then, but today the wind chill was below zero, so the dog didn’t even like the idea of going to the bathroom outside. I though that walking around the store for an hour was an exceptable choice. I didn’t want to say “well I’ll skip today” because I knew that I would end up skipping tomorrow too and probably the next day.
I am half encouraged because you guys are great and I feel as if I am making good lifestyle changes and half impatient it seems that pounds should leave faster. I just feel as if I’m starting over again. I have never dieted before, but I used to workout a lot and about a month after I finally fit in my goal pants, I got pregnant again. I really love my family, but I feel like I’m starting over again and I have no muscle tone in my stomach (and I gained 50 lbs. during my pregnancy) But I know that I will lose it all as long as I can keep this up. I just want to tell everyone to just keep going, we can do this together.

Well, the really great thing about you is that you recognized that if you miss one day that it could lead to another missed day and another. That is just like me. I recognize the same pattern in me and for months I tried my best to stay on my plan no matter what. I think it’s great you took that hour walk. It shows you mean business and something like the weather isn’t going to get in your way. And that kind of this can bring you success. Good luck and bravo to you!
I used to work out a lot, and a part of me will put off exercise unless I can really work out hard. I like how you chose to walk around and do moderate things, b/c that burns calories too. when i put off exercise, no extra calories get burned!
Yea good idea something is always better then nothing. It does add up.
