Yay Me!
It’s too late to write much, but just had to say I made it to the gym today — yay!!! I’ve just gotten to the point where I feel SO awful physically that one more day without “moving it” would have been unthinkable. I could only manage 18 minutes at 2.9 mph on the treadmill, NO incline because my knees hurt so much, and then 10 minutes on the machines.
But I WENT, and for now, that’s what counts. Also did well on my eating today — no bread & no sugar! Probably didn’t eat enough calories, but I don’t care — I had 2 red peppers with hummus, broccoli, a banana, and a hard-boiled egg. I was satisfied and didn’t feel guilty, and that’s what it’s all about right now.
Progress — not perfection.

Good for you for getting to the gym! I love what you said, “Progress, not perfection.” I need to have that branded onto my forehead.
