We all stumble now and then. The most important part is to pick yourself up and dust yourself off and go for it again. I am upset I did not get a chance to go to the gym the other day and was way to busy to fit it in on the weekend. So now I am going to go today. I need to do this for me and take the time I need to. So that is what I will do Merry Christmas to me. Take care and keep on keeping on. Tina

You can do it!! Glad to see you with fresh focus! Pass some of that over here. hehe

Thanks MissJellyBelly,
I have had a hard time these last few weeks. But this week I was able to go to the gym 2 times and loved every minute of being there. I worked really hard and felt great when I left. I am holding off to buy my membership until Jan tho. But I can't wait to get back on track.
I am going on vacation Monday and I know it will be hard to stay on track. But I will be with my sister who is soooooo healthy and she will help me stay focused. I hope everyone has a wonderful Holiday. May everyone get what they wish for a healthy life. Take care Tina

Back from Florida and ready to start the New Year off on the right foot. I bought myself new running shoes(really needed them). So I am ready to start today. I am tired of the up and down I have been going thru lately. So tomorrow I will go and buy that gym membership! I can't wait to get started again. I was very bad over Christmas I don't want to step on the scale. I know I have allot of weight gain due to the fact I got lazy.
I am back on track now for good I am sick of being disappointed in myself. I am the only one who is going to make this weight go away for good. I am that important that I will do this for me. I will do better on posting I feel it keeps my in check. Well good luck to all in the New Year! Tina

hey.. way to go.. i am back too.. and it feels great seeing u this motivated..

there's this pretty fancy (and expensive gym) dat i've been wanting to join for a long time... i have promised to present myself with a membership to that gym wen i get to within 15 pounds of my goal weight..

dats keepin me pretty motivated

It is so good hearing from you. Hope your Holiday was great! I think that is the best thing you could buy yourself. It is hard going into a gym and seeing all the small fit people. But I always tell myself that I am showing them(the fit ones) that I will someday be in the smaller outfits also. I have chosen a gym that is small and not allot of people go to but it has everything I need to get my workouts done.

I feel I push myself harder in front of people I don't want them to see me give up. I want to prove that I can kick ass. So that is why the gym does not bother me as much as it did. Everyone there is there to do the same thing get healthy.

Good luck to you
Tina

Today I went to the gym and it was great. I chose a gym that not many people use. When I got there this morning there was 2 other people and then it was just me! I love it was able to workout and I did not have the feeling that everyone was looking at me. What a great year this is going to be. I am ready to finish what I started. Tina

ps Hope everyone has a great start to their New Year!

Well this weekend went pretty good. Like I mentioned before I worked out on Saturday morning but I did not get a chance to workout on Sunday. But this morning I have eaten a great breakfast. I had 2 eggs with spinach and reduced fat cheese in a whole wheat wrap. So now I am headed to the gym. I am going to write down what I accomplish each day. So after a week or so look back and then push myself to do more. Let you know how it is working! Take care Tina

Hi Tina, Happy new year.
I unsubscribed from your thread by mistake, I am rusty with how this works.
I am back... dont want to say much, but I have resolved to take it to the end.

I have checked on your progress all these months and am so proud of you, you go girl...

Cheers

You have know idea how happy I am to see you are back. I have been lacking motivation as of late. But now I am back on track. I have joined a gym and I have gone for the last 5 days and I am loving every painful moment. I have also talked my friend from work to join me and we now go together. We call each other accountabilabuddies. lol Whatever it takes to work. Take care Tina

Ps I have been writing down everything I do each day at the gym. I will now bore you with the details but a great way to see how far you have come.

Hello hope everyone had a great weekend. I went to a camp for the weekend and with that brings naughty food and beer. I did workout hard on Fri and went snowshoeing on Sat. Got a friend to try and now she is going to buy a set. So now when my husband can't go she can. Sunday I did nothing but eat it feels like. No snacking much just bad meals until I got home.
So now that it is Monday I need to get at it. I hate the thought that I let myself go for the weekend. I feel like all my work went down the drain. It is very hard to be around all of the foods that I love are around me. So I will come up with a new plan before we head back up to camp. (Camp is on a lake in the woods of Maine.) Sunday it was snowing so we really did not get a chance to snowshoe across the lake to ice fish. So that is why although not a good excuse for not shoeing on Sunday. Like I said before I will have a better plan for the next time I go. Hope everyone have a great week. Tina

I had a really good workout today. I did my 40 min of treadmill and arc trainer then I lifted weights. I feel like I am doing well bumping up when I feel I the need. I wonder if I am doing enough I don't feel real sore. I know whatever I am doing is better than not doing it at all. I am going to search for guidlines and see what I can find. If anyone has suggestions let me know. Thanks Tina

I had another great day at the gym. This week seems so much better than last week for some reason. I now am looking forward to tomorrow! Wow never thought I would say that. Tina

Well it has been a great week. I have worked hard all week until today. I was very busy and could not make it to the gym. I plan on going first thing in the morning. And we are not going out to camp this weekend so no food temptations will I have. yippee! Hope every one has had a great week. Tina

Hi Tina

I am also thinking of taking gym membership in February.

I see you are keeping on - you are such an inspiration.

Cheers.
