First I need to apologize to all my blogger buddies - don't feel neglected if I haven't made a comment recently - I am reading you - all of you - you are all a great motivation in my battle and to meet so many strong people is amazing. I, however, am just having a hard time keeping up with blogs at the moment because as well has having a full time job, I am on the board of directors for the Park Foundation in my Hicktown and this is the time of year for our fundraiser.
I am busier than a blow up doll at a Frat party. We have a huge BBQ Cook-off yearly and I'm trying to pull together enough judges to pull this thing off.
Lola said 198.4 yesterday - Yay me! I am down 15 pounds since surgery and 25 pound since Jan. And I have entered the all fabulous onederland. I know this is a monumental moment for many of you to reach. For me not so much - this is where the longest part of my journey begins. I have at least 70 pounds to go from here to reach a healthy weight.
I still haven't dragged my happy ass back to the gym yet. I need someone to make me. I really am having guilt over not being able to motivate myself to get up and go to the gym. Maybe after this whole BBQ thing is over I can get back into a routine.
Thank You followers - I'm up to 35 - Wow! I never thought I'd be there. Feel free to send me tips on a more interesting blog if you like. I certainly don't want to be boring you guys.
So, I'm busy, I'm losing and besides the guilt of not working out I feel very positive right now and am not regretting my decision to be banded. I know I am just riding the wave of a huge initial weight loss and that this will slow and even stall at times. But I think I am over the fear of being a failure at this because so many of you have been a brilliant success - I know it will work.
Go to the gym. How about we make a pact? I'll go tonight and at least once this weekend if you go too? YOU are a brilliant success in my eyes. You are losing weight and are in Onederland. Props to you, girl!!
ReplyDeleteI think it is important to find exercise that you enjoy. For me, that isn't in the gym. I much prefer walking, hiking, cycling, etc. I walk every morning for about 30 minutes and it isn't a chore. I never think about skipping it. In fact if I ever am NOT able to for some reason, I am dissappointed. Is there something else you'd rather do? Gyms aren't for everyone.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the 100's not being too special for us (should I go out on a limb and assume "shortys"?). I was nanded just under 200. I have a long way to go still, but I will get there and so will you. It looks as if you are making good progress!
