Sore but Worth it!

Sore but Worth it!Posted Thursday July 17, 2008 at 07:18 AM PST in The Other Side of the Scale
Well... I started excersizing! I am typing with my arms laying on the counter because I can barely lift them. I pray I don't have to use the bathroom because I'm afraid if I sit down I won't be able to get up. lol I am in good spirits. Test that I had recently taken came back really good. Really it is all related to my weight. I saw a fitness instructer on Monday and she walked me through a workout routine. I am to do it 3 days a week. I had planned on taking a cardio class on tuesday and thursday. No problem I thought. I'll attempt it next week when I can actually put my foot on the gas pedal without cringing in agony :) All in all I am pretty happy with the direction I am in. If I could just stop the nighttimehunt for snacks. Even sore and achy I still seem to want to work the arms putting food in my mouth. Help!Help!Help! Well todays another day. Let hope willpower kicks in really soon!

I'm Back!

Posted Monday July 7, 2008 at 09:03 PM PST in The Journey
Well I'm back. It really is a looong hard road. Just when I was patting myself on the back, I hit a snag in the road. Long story short, medical issues fell into play and with the meds 15lbs came back on. I nearly had a heart attack one day to see a 5lb gain in one day. Everyone told me stay away from the scale but noooo I had to peak. Well, I have been off the meds for a week now but old habits fell into play. I went to the old friend comfort food. Good news it only took me a week to snap out of it. I joined the local YMCA and have made a July commitment to workout 2x a week. I also bought a fitness ball, stretch bands and some dvds. So I am pointed back in the right direction and away we go...again. I won't run away again, only run on the track :O)
