Default Finally got up the nerve to charge up the BodyMedia Fit Core... but

I'm having commitment issues from unplugging it and putting it on. It's like taking another huge step. Am I ready for this "really"? (BodyMedia Fit Core is a lot like a FitBit - tracking steps, food, sleep, weight, etc).

I bought the membership for 2 years, got a new arm band, etc just under 13 months ago. I have not worn it in that time. I plugged it in to charge and found I gained 48 pounds since last wearing it. I knew that, but I didn't need to "see" that. At this point it's like rubbing salt in a wound. I'm ready to deal with TODAY'S journey, not be reminded about how I didn't meet the last one's journey. If that makes sense.

But... I'm having a hard time committing to getting back to "real" exercise. I've been walking all last week - but leisurely. Just getting my feet under me again... but to fully commit to watching my every step and detailing my meals, etc... it scares me for some reason.

I have my eating 100% under control. I feel good. But I'm a bit confused by this fear of diving 100% in.. what's up with that I wonder?

Anyone ever have similar feelings after a regain?

Alright.... it's on and I walked to get my son at school (and I was puffing a bit going uphill all the way to get there). Later I'll take another walk. It's baby steps right now, but I also don't want to get injured or aggravate the other minor injuries I have.

ACK! And I updated my password on mynetdiary and imputed my food for the day. I see that exactly a year ago was the last time I logged in ONE YEAR AGO... and I weighed 195 (which was also 30 pounds over my lowest weight). Sigh....

Well... to learn from this and hopefully never relapse like that again.
