Keep.It.Up!
I’m so glad I took my WW meeting’s 12 week track book. It’s really got me on the straight and narrow this week and back into the habit already - I can’t have lost it after all!
You know, there are people who know me who have all asked if, after gaining 3lbs, I’ve stopped; if I’ve given up. I kind of look at them as if they’re crazy and say “Of course not!” with a laugh. It seems absurd. But, when I look back at how I used to behave, in the past their comment would have probably been met with a “yes”.
I don’t know what’s shifted in my head. I don’t feel like anything has, but some screw must have loosened a bit! Now, my attitude is that, yes I gained 3lbs but who cares? If I’ve lost them once I sure as hell can lose them again! And I will!
I’m looking forward to doing more exercise and getting moving again once my toe has healed up. Autumn has well and truly started here - with the exception of yesterday, which was gloriously sunny, it’s rained seven days in a row. That’s ok though. I’ve got plenty of workout DVD’s, I’ve got cleaning to do, I’ve got a Wii Fit, I’ve got music I can dance to! I am beginning to be successful in training myself that every little bit counts and that 10 minutes dancing, 30 minutes on the Wii Fit or whatever is better than that time sitting on my ass doing something sedentary. 20 sit ups at night are better than none and will go that little bit further to toning my muscles. Slowly, slowly. The turtle wins the race after all!
Oh, and since I can’t comment on your blog Sunny, I was thinking upon your t-shirt problem. A couple of ideas, anyway. Are they long enough to reach past your butt? If so, I think you should go for them with leggings underneath (like the kind that reach mid-calf) and heels to glam them up! If not, a pair of shorts and heels or cool sandals. Are you handy with a needle? Would it be possible to take it in a little? None of that might be any use, I don’t really know much about American sports-style shirts (which is what I think you meant in your post - sorry if I’m wrong) but I thought I’d say just in case!
mango, refresh my memory why you can’t post on my blog? Everyone else from word press seems able to (well, Sunny Daze mostly has to after work, but that might be a work-blockage issue?) Thanks for your ideas! I haven’t worn leggings since the mid 80’s, I think. Not sure in fashion-conscience southern California if I could “get away” with that (let alone find any), but it’s a thought! I’m not handy with a needle, and I think to take it to the sewers at the dry cleaners would cost more than the project would be worth, but thanks! :: hugs ::
Glad you have turned ‘the switch’ on, and have the right mentality now. You WILL succeed; no doubt about it!
Pft we’ve all gone through gaining and losing the same few pounds- if we give up we’ll gain those same few pounds and then SOME…
