Today and the rest of my life

Tuesday, October 27, 2009

I went to the gym today and worked out. I didn't stay long just 30 min. But thats longer than I was doing. I keep gaining weight and thats not what I want to do. The sad news is its only me that can do something about it.

That shouldn't be sad news. Should be glad news. Training yourself to realize that you can do something about it...that you don't have to depend on someone else to rescue you. Everyone's different and motivated in different ways, but what helped me at the start was to not let myself worry at all about weights and measures. I didn't weigh myself or measure my girth or otherwise give myself a chance to judge just how bad I had become or how far I had to go. If I had, I'd have been too daunted to start out on the journey. Instead, I concentrated on habit forming. As the Nike saying goes, "Just Do It." Don't think of that 30 minute workout as "just 30 min." I liked the "but" statement better. It was longer than you had been doing. That's great. That's where your attitude should be. In time, what I think you'd hope for is to find that 30 minutes as something you'll actually start to crave on a regular basis, rather than something to dread. At least that's what happened to me. It's not that I actually enjoy the workout, but I love the afterglow. And if I miss a day or two, I start to feel like I've been gypped. Don't worry about the scale. Results there will follow. It's too easy to let the scale rule your goals and if results don't happen fast enough or you find yourself backsliding, too often it kills the motivation. I don't want to come off as some sort of guru or cheerleader. You left an encouraging comment on my blog which I appreciated. So I followed it over here and wanted to do the same...albeit a bit more wordy, which is my nature. Good luck. Keep sparking. Comment edited on: 12/4/2009 2:42:42 AM

You can do it! I just started my workout plan 2 weeks ago. I started at 278 lbs, and in only two weeks of exercising and eating right, I am now at 272. Be proud of yourself for getting started, and keep at it.

I don't seem to be doing so good lately. I am staying hungry all the time and thats not good. I want to eat all the time and thats whatever I can find. Mostly junk or quick fix stuff. Wish me luck I really need it.

Thanks for stopping by my page and the words of encouragement.

I know the feeling. Even if you eat foods that are supposed to be filling you still think you're hungry. The best way I found to deal with this is to engage yourself in something that requires your complete attention. By doing that it takes your mind off of hunger and puts it on something else. I hope this helps.

Chin up- we all go through this- butevery time i think i'm hungry i try and really thinkam i bored- depressed or really hungry- and then if I want sweets- I go for red seedless grapes- if its salt- I go for nuts- I feel better that I am trying to eat healthy snacks at least- lowfat cheese- nonfat yougurts- and even english muffins with peanut butter- are better than what I used to do- Sit down and eat a whole bag of chips!- try taking a walk every time you THINK you're hungry- that helps too- and I do know what you are going through especially when I was trying to quit smoking!- whew that's hard- Remeber you are not alone

I'm having trouble staying motivated to lose weight. But I would have to say my son helps to motivate me the most we both have a weight problem, he is 16 and its just the two of us. We need to be healthy for each other.
