Default Nothing stopped me!
This is a victory for me and I just had to share. I usually walk at work during the day with my IPOD. We’ll today when I got ready to walk I noticed that the battery was dead on the IPOD. I thought about skipping the walk – then I thought about Fluffy’s post from yesterday about exercising in the heat and I decided what the heck I’m walking without the IPOD. Then I pulled out my shoes and I only had 1 sock! Normally I would have said okay forget it, but not today – heck no I walked with only 1 sock! It felt a little strange, but I did it! In the past I would have looked for any excuse not to exercise but now I actually wanted to walk bad enough that I did it with no IPOD and only 1 sock.

I felt so empowered that I did the same thing this afternoon. Good thing I had some powered in my desk for my feet!
You guys are right it's all about making the committment and sticking with it no matter what. It feels so good after you've done it!

Boy you people take "no matter what" to a whole new level. Woohoo!!! Simply FANTASTIC!!!!

I don't know I tell ya, I shudder to think of what would be without my ipod and a sock no less.

I'm so very happy for you. Keep it up.

This motivates ME. I've had a blah couple of days - bad period, cramps, etc. and haven't been eating great or working out. I can do better.
Thanks for the inspiration!

Claire - I'm glad we can motivate each other. I'm having the same issues with cramps and just feeling yucky. I just can't make excuses anymore. I'm determined to make my weight loss dreams come true.

Tingirl, I love what you wrote here. I absolutely love it. Especially that last line. And you most certainly are doing just that. I wish you continued success.
