Bride-to-Be, you made me laugh when I saw the picture with the pacifier. LOL! Sorry to hear that your favorite counselor left, but also glad that the one from **** is finally out of there as well. Staying the same is better than a gain anyday! Stay on-track and you will be at your goal in no time.
Metal, I'm with Star. Just making little steps in the exercising area will make a difference. Maybe you could get some walking in at work. Every little bit really helps. It snows lots here and normally pretty cold, but on the warmer days (okay, we think 30 is warm) we go for walks around our building a couple times as much as we can - just to get outside and get some fresh air. It's so refreshing. Don't know how you could get your dinner is earlier - but if you switched your dinner amounts with your breakfast amounts a couple days a week, maybe that would do it for you? It's worth a try?
Star, I bet Julie has a tan too. Julie - missing your posts.
Karen (Rusty), way to go girl! 3 days in a row in exercising is awesome! I knew your could do it and from your previous posts - I do know what an accomplishment it is for you!
That is how I got into exercising, baby steps. If I could do 5 minutes on the Nordic Trac, that's what I did - then moved up very slowly as I knew if I tried to kill myself, I would just quit. After 2 years, I'm still exercising - and I really enjoy it. I feel better and I sleep better. I never had a problem sleeping, it's just I feel more rested in the morning.
I have to tell you a story. My starting hours at work use to be between 7-7:30am and I drive the same way each morning. All of a sudden, I started seeing this heavy women walking every morning. Then, after a while - she started running. I couldn't believe that she could even run - I know I can't. Needless to say, she slimmed right down and looks really good. My hours at work changed to 6:30am and I didn't get to see her anymore (to check out her progress). So, today I was arriving to work about 7:00am (as I worked from home last night). So, who did I see - the runner and she now has a running friend. I'm so proud of her, and she must have inspired the person that was with her today. I felt like stopping and telling her how proud I was of both of them (figured she would think I was a crazy women and call the cops). So, it can be addicting - but what better thing to get addicted to.
Have a good evening everyone. Sy
