Change starts now :) Who is with me?

Options
Alright everyone, here I go! Today is the day I'm giving it my all. I've already started off by drinking water this morning.

For anyone who wants to join me, feel free! I'm just tired of starting and stopping, starting and stopping, and being in the same spot as I was four months down the road.

If you struggle with staying motivated or expect results after your first workout, you are just like me, LOL!

Let's stick with this, and make 2011 our year :)

    You hit it on the head. I've walked my mile and that is all I'm going to commit to. If I do more that will be great.

    Awesome! I am doing weights later on tonight. I REALLY want to get out and go for a run, but most of the road is still covered with ice. We got slammed with a major snowstorm a few weeks ago, and because we are a rural community, cars do most of the plowing LOL! There's literally over an inch of ice on the roads in some places!

    Either way, I am going to do an upper body workout tonight, plus abs.

    Good job! I know sometimes if I plan a lot of workouts and I don't get them all in, I get discouraged. That's why I'm committing to my weights today.

    I'm with you! After keeping track of my food intake all week (YIKES), I can see where I'm failing with this weight loss goal of mine. I am going to start the day with a tall glass of water and a boiled egg. This is much better than the breakfast muffins or cinnamon rolls that I usually eat. This will also give me my boost of protein to start the day & it will keep me full until lunch.

    I'm also looking into joining a gym for the treadmill benefit. It's too cold and snowy to walk outside.

    :o)

    Today I weighed in and took my measurements. I realized that I'm better than I was last year and wanted to change.

    Had a protein shake with my vitamins and 2 glasses of water.

    It's mostly going to be church today but I will get a 30 minute walk in there too.

    Thank you all for being my inspiration.

    Hugs.

    I'm so with you! All the food from the holidays at work and at my in-laws set me back. I'm ready to get back on track. I plan on going for a nice run in an hour, now that the weather seems nicer!

    I think the worst for me is when I start up something, I get so impatient and want to see results ASAP. I need the motivation and push to keep going, even if I'm not seeing results. Then, four months down the road, I'm in the same spot, and think, if I would have just stuck with this........

    Well no more. I'm going to find a way to stay motivated even if I can't get through a workout, or I struggle with some exercises.

    I'm in!!! I have been getting my workouts in just because I'm in my 9th week and I didn't want to mess up my record. But....... the eating has been out of control. I am going to work hard to stay under 1400 calories. That would have been easy 2 weeks ago. I want to get back in control!!!!!!!
