To quote my brother, Stephen, "if you're gonna talk about it...be about it!"
And my reward for being about it?
The weight gain has stopped! At first nothing changed. But this week I stepped on the scale and was down a pound. But, the best part is how I feel. Mentally and physically I feel so much better when I am able to get a walk in...even if it's a short one. The week is not over yet and my goal is to get two more days of walking in this week. Can you guess what I am telling myself about that goal? I can do it!
Which step have you reached today?

kissses!!!
Don't let up Alida....keep moving!! This is so inspiring!
ReplyDeleteThank you!! I walked to the office today so I just have one more day to go!!
DeleteI love the picture! Keep pushing. You can do it and one day you will be screaming, "Yes, I did it!".
ReplyDeleteOh won't that be a great day!!
DeleteI was suffering with illness for a week and unable to exercise -- I was pleasantly surprised to find that I actually missed the workouts -- that is surely a goal I did not expect to reach!
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing when you start to miss working out...what a great step to get to!!
DeleteI think there's a step missing - 'I NEED to do it!' That's where I am. Struggling with a back issue that needs to settle down a bit so I can start working to strengthen the situation. Eating healthy, losing more weight and moving more will help a lot - I NEED to do it! Today I'm at 'I want to do it'.

Adrienne, I agree with you! I was stuck on I Need to do it for a long time. I have fibromyalgia and I know that exercise helps but for the longest time I just could not get myself to go beyond I Need to do it!!
DeleteYou are right on track...you're starting to feel yourself changing in a positive way and let that be the motivation to keep you going!
ReplyDeleteThank you!! I appreciate the encouragement!
DeleteI'm somewhere between 'I can' and 'I will'... I was doing really well then got sick for a week and now trying to get my strength and 'I will' back.
ReplyDeleteOh, Becky, I can understand that!
