Re:All of me wants this now...

[Guest guest]

It is helpful - thank you - I am 52 and have been playing this game for a long

time. I am doing more and more visualization - I started a zumba class (latin

dance/high impact aerobics) kind of thing - and I visualized myself in the

mirror after the loss of 40 pounds and that was cool. I'm also trying to

believe it can happen, I think that is part of the issue too - not believing it

is possible discourages me sometimes. I have a neighbor and a co-worker (same

person) who just lost a lot of weight. I used to be jealous of people who did

this but now it really encourages me - helps me to believe it can be done - esp.

since parts of her personality and story are similar to mine - I look at her and

I am encouraged! So far I've lost 6 pounds which is also encouraging. Take

care all.

Welcome Kimmie and all the newbies!

You guys have written some very thought provoking things and I'm glad that

you've decided to join us!!

I have been working on improving my health also. My husband bought me a watch

that counts steps (its similar to a pedometer but it also tells you how many

calories you've burned, altitude, etc..) for christmas. I saw it in a health

magazine and had to have it (it was a splurge).

Since christmas I've been taking at least 10,000 steps per day and try to

improve a little everyweek. Thus far my weekly average has been between

10,500-13,500 steps per day over the last month with my highest ever being

20,000 and my lowest since christmas 7,200 steps in one day.

I feel better and have lost inches and a even a few pounds. I am also working

on my gray area of recovering from a bad food decision quickly...I noticed this

morning that I made some bad decisions on Monday and Tuesday dinners but managed

to bounce back at the next meal both times. I've also set my watch daily alarm

for 8pm and have decided not to eat after that time (it reminds me of when Will

set his alarm in I am legend, lol). At any rate that's progress for me!!!

We'll here's to a great weekend for all of you and keep up the good work!

MissKim,

Good for you! You're doing all kinds of great things to help you get to

your destination. I have no idea how much walking you have to do to make

20,000 steps, but it sure sounds like a lot to me!

My small victory for this week involves my job and my emotions. Awful job,

highly stressful, and this has been a terrible week at the office, but while

I did eat a bit more than I might have otherwise, I didn't bury my face in

the fridge and suck in everything there. I keep telling myself - baby

steps.

Pat

Pat,

Thank you for your words of encouragement and good work on finding other outlets

for stress besides eating (which is a hard feat).

To tell the truth walking 20000 steps involved some time at the mall one

Saturday. In general 2000-2500 steps is about 1 mile so I did shock myself that

day. I went shopping (which I haven't done much since I gained weight) and

walked a bit around the mall as I was browsing. I then came home and had a

little party in my living room by dancing along to music videos and the music

channels on cable (it was soooooo much fun) and it beat laying in the bed all

day, eating and sleeping. I admit that is what my saturdays looked like for a

while...sleep, lay in bed and watch tv, eat, fall asleep, wake up and

repeat....Thank God for progress...
