Barbg... I just LOVE you pics... thank you so much for posting them. I am
green with envy.
Thanks for the instructions to help us post ours too. I just don't know I will make the time to go find them. Besides.. it is so much fun anticipating yours.
Congratulations on the perfect "NICE" you have going for you.
I made a clarification in the Christmas Thread about "journaling" ... but the bottom line is... everyone can decide for themselves. LOL
Good luck on your new exercise class. It sounds very promising. I just don't think I could pay $20 per session. Seems like a lot. But it is GREAT that you get it for free in December. That way you can decide from experience if it is worth it or not.
Lucky... I just may add getting 8-10 hours of sleep a night as a BONUS in next month's challenge.
Believe it or not.. I went to bed at 10:30 Wed night and slept until 5:45. I would have slept longer but my bladder just can't last long enough. Grrrr
Tonight I am forcing myself to be in bed by midnight. I am working on improving all of me. I think my lack of sleep has played havoc on me lately. I stayed up ALL NIGHT two nights in a row. NOT GOOD. ( well.. I got 3-4 hours total in 2 nights)
Leanne... I hope you always post about your swimming everyday. Between you and Barbg I just may get back into the pool again. I definitely plan to go in January.
Dec is such a busy month... but I know I need it NOW. Congrats on your first bonus. That is a hard on for me.
Thin... I appreciate you and Kat recognizing my "mother hen" syndrome coming out... but I think I was more like a "mother Tiger".
I am TOO protective sometimes. Even moms makes mistakes sometimes.
Chris...
I really like that smilie too.
Well ladies and gentlemen... I am very down-hearted tonight.
My grandson had his 8th grade band Christmas program tonight and I did not get to watch him. I am soooooooo frustrated with myself. I was too fat to be able to stand for an hour until his group played. We got there on time... but every seat was taken. It was standing room only. There were a couple of seats at the TOP of the bleachers but there was NO WAY I could climb to the top. My knees are in such BAD SHAPE !!! The pain in my legs are sometimes just soooo overwhelming. I looked for a bench or chair... but there were none. I had to leave before he even played. I caused all of this to myself.
As a fat person you like to think you are only hurting yourself. BUT I have always known I am harming many others because of my weaknesses ... my FAT.
When I was younger I could be fat and still be mobile. Heck... I was ACTIVE.
But now .... age is really making a HUGE difference. I am no longer active.. no longer mobile. And the worst part is... the less mobile you get... the fatter you get.
You don't have to eat more to gain weight.
You just sit more... and GAIN !!!
EXERCISE is soooooo important. PLEASE PLEASE make time for your exercise.
Don't repeat the mistakes I have made. GET IT OFF NOW... don't wait another minute... another day... another year. Time keeps ticking by. Take advantage of your youth NOW.
Whether you are 20 something.. or 30 something or 40 or 50. The older you get... the slower you metablism gets... and the less you are able to do. Add being 300+ and OLD and it is not a good combination. Train your body now and keep it up so your body stays active.
I know you all know all of this already. You don't need me to tell you. I just know how TERRIBLE I feel when I let my family down AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN.
I pray to God that they can forgive me too. I seem to need a lot of forgiveness lately.
