I hope this is okay, because I'm new to the forum, but I may post here any time I am tempted to stray from my goals. For the past two weeks, I have done 40 minutes of aerobics in front of the t.v. three times a week. My eating habits are hit and miss, though I have lots of low cal food around and am discovering some good bets in the frozen sections.
I've been using a stationary box as a weight when I exercise but will buy myself some actual weights to use this week.
My goal is to keep to the exercise even if I am tired and also to eat well until Easter. On Easter, I will give myself an off day. That's in two weeks.
I will also get a full-length mirror up this week.
If I can do this, my current jeans should be loose by then. That's my goal. I don't have scales, and don't want them though I may take measurements.
I tried on some clothes yesterday when we passed an outlet mall and was disgusted with myself. My downfall is eating the kids leftovers and eating with my husband who is 6'2", 210 pounds and can eat WAY more than me and not gain weight - ugh! Oh, and night eating. Waking up, having insomnia, and grabbing some cookies to help me get back to sleep. Sometimes 3 or 4 times a night!
Any tips would be helpful. Oh, and if there's a better place to post when I'm being tempted, will someone let me know? If I stick to this for a month, I will reward myself with some new clothes, which I badly need, but I won't buy any new ones (and haven't for over a year) until I slim down a bit.
Thanks for your support! Angel
