    Hello OP here - thank you to those who have said they liked my thoughts - that's all they were - thoughts and observations. For those who have said I was indirectly trying to skite ( look that one up it's another Aussie/NZ word even better than whinge) that was not in my conscious thought process at all.
    But yes, I am tired of reading post after post of excuses. I do admire every person in this post who made a decision to have a 'just do it moment' and put their fitness and health first. My intention in the post was to highlight and share those.
    This is, sadly as so many posts on here, changing direction into personal character comments - so if we are getting personal yes I am awesome. I'm 57 yrs old, had breast cancer in 2010, radical mastectomy and 4 rounds chemo., put on a stack load of weight and am now 4 years later working hard to lose weight and regain health and fitness. And I've stopped whinging as I've realises it's no easier for you to get out of your warm bed to ride the stationary bike, walk 10kms than it is me - I just have to Do It and you know what -it works.
    Thank you for sharing that, Ros. I love that word....whinging. :smile:

    Walking on treadmill again today, AND passing up the devils food frosted donuts (my favorite and I'm so wanting chocolate right now!) and having healthy meal/s instead

    Thanks for the post. I did the bare minimum today. I walked 30 minutes instead of my ideal goal which is 45 min. At first, I wasn't going to go, and then I arrived at the gym later and had only 30 minutes. This is the thought that ran through my head earlier today....
    If I don't put in the effort, I won't get the results. It doesn't matter how I feel, or if I have all the intentions in the world. If I do not actually exercise, my weight loss will be stagnant.

    I'm with you re: excuses.

    We can *choose* our actions. My choices made me morbidly obese. My choices made me lose weight. I'm utterly responsible for my failures. I am equally responsible for my successes. I have no excuses for either.

    Today I cycled for 34km but didn't get my 15000 steps Garmin wants me to get today. So I parked my bike at home and went out to grind out the steps. Sure I'd rather sit in a pub eating peanuts and drinking beer. But I don't do that anymore. No excuses.

    Congrats.

    I made it to 28.8 this morning. There's a good chance I'll bounce back to obese before I get below 30 forever, but it was nice to see.

    Okay, reading this post and not hitting my steps at work today (Saturdays are usually my easiest to get 10,000) is making me want to go out for a mile walk after dinner

    To be honest, just getting up, brushing my teeth, putting on clothes, doing the hair, is what I'm happy with today. As I did not want to get out of bed. It was one of those 'can't be bothered, what's the point' kind of days. I did not feel happy. Life is not good atm. But tomorrow hopefully be better hopefully, as I'm going to the carboot and doing some walking.
