in Introduce Yourself
I live in Colorado, which is one of healthiest states in the nation, and yet I feel like such a schlub here. I don't ski, snowboard, bike, or do anything really mountainy. I prefer playing sports, and I do like to hike, but I hate being cold, so when winter and spring come around I go into hiberation. Also, I like to eat...that being said, I have made some changes to my eating habits and I feel like I'm on the right track with that, but it's the whole exercising regularly thing that I seem to have a problem with. I'm on the go quite a bit, so the last thing I want to do when I have free time is exercise.

I need some accountability pals that will remind me that Rome wasn't built in a day and neither will my healthy body. Also, I'm always up for suggestions on the exercising you guys are doing. Currently, I have Tony Horton's 10 minute Trainer and my apartment complex has an elliptical machine that I use here and there, but I'm not in a committed relationship with either. Thinking I'm going to have to join a gym again, which I'm good with. I'm happy to support and motivate you to reach your goals, so let's start making success stories! And, feel free to add me :happy:

    Hi,

    Do you work in a building? Its a good idea either during a break or lunch if you can to walk the stairs. That way even if you don't come throught with the dvd or elliptical machine you have still done a workout. 10 minutes of medium speed stair climbing equal roughtly 85-100 calories.

    I just started my weightloss journey in earnest for the 3rd time. It definitely takes time and committment as I'm learning.

    I started in January, and while I knew it wouldnt be easy. I can honestly say, I didnt know it would be this difficult either..mentally or physically. However, I'm learning as I go, and my MFP friends are really helping me along the way. Feel free to add me. We can help hold each other accountable.
