Today was a really good day for me. I am so encouraged by the positive comments I am getting on my blog and on my goal to lose weight. Today I added a little exercise to my routine. Just so you know, there are couple of things I really hate. One is exercise and the other is any kind of diet drinks. That makes losing weight a bit of a challenge.
Today, I faced my hatred for exercise head on. It was a small start, but I am so glad I did it. I took my tennis shoes with me to work and went for a walk with some girls from my office on my lunch break. My idea of a walk at lunch, was getting a little fresh air and adding a little activity to my day. Well, I picked the wrong walking buddies for that. Skinny girls don't play. Before my office was even out of sight, I thought I was going to collapse with shin splints. Their pace was a little faster than I expected. Somehow, when I used to see them walk as I was driving to get some Mexican food or eat at a local buffet, they seemed to be walking much slower. It was definitely a challenge for this fat girl, but I did it!!!! Now I know I can walk it off!!!
I understand Jennifer. We have a wellness track at work....I see people walking it at lunch and they lap me twice over before I can get a lap in!!! Makes you feel reallllly good!! lol...Good luck to you with your goals.....as long as you believe in yourself, you can do anything!!
ReplyDeleteI went back to the gym for Zumba tonight for the first time in about 2 months. I lost about 15 lbs for Diana's wedding and then gained it all back after the holidays. The first thing I said to Tommy when I walked in the door tonight after that class was, "I hate exercise!" And I DO! BUT I went! I can relate about the walking partners, too. I didn't understand how they could walk that fast and still talk too! LOL!
ReplyDeleteKathy, the talking thing was exactly what I was thinking. That was the quietest I had been all day. I was afraid I would embarrass myself if I tried to talk. LOL
