Hi! I posted on the Volumetrics thread here -that is the direction I am headed and I am currently reading body clutter by the flylady..I've been a flybaby for about 4 years now-(any flybabies following body clutter out there?) and I really am looking forward to posting, getting to know some of you & I am glad I found 3FC!
I used to live in Watsonville and worked at Jenny Craig in Monterey.
I also worked at Jenny Craig in Salinas, my boss at the Salinas Centre lived in Soledad.This is a great site , you will get lots of suggestions and support here.I am familiar with flylady but haven't followed it.
Well who knew I'd be among some many california girls!
We've got wind, wind, wind today-more than usual here in South Monterey County(which is usually alot). Did I mention it was windy?
I am poking about the forum and boy is it HUGE-not sure where I belong.lol!
I'm in Central California. I've been reading Body Clutter too. I get stuck on the routines. I self-sabotage as well as a DH who sabotages too. He's going back to work this week, so I think I may have a fighting chance, because I am taking over the cooking again (he was cooking when I was working and he wasn't). I strongly identify with the Brat Factor. (SHE website-- mentioned on flylady.net)
So, taking a deep breath, and getting out my exercise tapes and DVDs, and getting ready for a skinnier me. I know it will help that he isn't here, he teases me when I do exercise so I don't.
We're all in this together, hope I can encourage as well as being encouraged!!!

I love the flylady system-it makes so much sense to me and reading body clutter has me really thinking about why I want to lose..it is all about living longer & healthier with the people I love! Oh sure... firm breasts, a flat tummy and thin thighs would be NICE , but the reality is at 43 and 2 children it's gonna take more than wieght loss for that to happen. lol. It is about getting to a healthy wieght and being fit . I ordered the Volumetrics book and should get it soon from amazon ,these past few days I have added salad to dinner time as well as fresh fruit. Which we do not eat nearly enough of in our home.
What exercise tapes are you going to use? I am thinking I would like to start the day with stretches for flexibility, I am just so stiff in the joints. Yoga appeals to me right now. I just need to move!
When my kids were little we did Hooked on Aerobics, and at least that is moving. I got a pilates book and DVD, and I also have an exercise ball... my sister in law got me Sweatin' to the Oldies a long time ago... and I haven't done any of them regularly for many years. So I am going to get them out and see what sounds good to me and what will get me moving. I might just WALK for 30 minutes a day. I just have to decide on SOMETHING and DO IT!!
Hi for sunny CA!
