mhope79 Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 You know you have a problem when the necklace your sister gave you more than 10 years ago no longer fits without you feeling like you're being choked, and when your "fat jeans" are uncomfortably snug and you fear every day that this will be the day they won't zip (especially fearful since they are the only ones you own, thanks to a recent 25 pound gain after an 18 pound loss). So - I decided last night that I had to do something about it. Really do something about it. Not just think about doing something about it and doing nothing but think about it for a month. So I set my alarm, woke up early (though I admit, I did hit snooze once), and did the "rookie" workout A from the fitness guide book. It was tough and I was tired (and still am), but I did it. And I lived to tell the tale. : P I decided to start with the whole baby steps idea... Every other time before, I would go all gung ho into something and then get burnt out in a few months. So I'm starting small - morning workouts and making breakfast (healthy breakfast) every day. Day 1 isn't over yet, but I'm confident in what I've started here. : ) Quote Link to comment

mhope79 Posted December 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Thanks for the support, everyone! Started the day with some "Just Dance" on my Wii this morning. Getting up was hard, again, but I figure eventually, it won't be anymore. (After all, I used to get up to run at 5:30 every morning... this is nothing!) : P 1 Quote Link to comment
