Learning to love excercise………
I still don’t love to excercise, but I don’t hate it anymore. I still have to make myself do it most of the time, but once I do I feel better for doing it. Take yesterday for example, worked out with Richard Simmons before work and took a walk at the park when I was on break. I had lots of energy last night, but hubby fell asleep in front of the computer. He has a desk job and doesn’t get much excercise. He keeps promising to walk with me and it hasn’t happened yet. I was so annoyed with him last night that I came on Buddy Slim last night looking for some support and inspiration, and of course I found it, Kama with her wonderful sense of humor drew me out of my funk. This never use to bother me when we both hubby and I use to be so lethargic and lazy at night, but now I get so discouaraged because I have so much energy and he is out of energy, he fell asleep in front of the computer before 6!
Doing good staying on track of my food and journaling it. Getting in some excercise every day (not ready for a marathon, but excercising)!
I am still inspiring my co-workers. The 3 I am working with each day are still bringing healthier lunches and 2 out the 3 walked in the park yesterday! One of them has lost 10 lbs. in the 3 weeks since we have been together every work day! She is so happy for it and I am happy for her.
It makes me feel good knowing I not only inspire my buddies one here, I am an inspiration to people I work with! It is such a new and good feeling for me!
A little info I read this morning and wanted to share! Did you know Dunkin Donuts is going healthy?!
“The menu, which will debut in stores Aug. 6, will feature two new flatbread sandwiches made with egg whites. Customers will be able to choose either a turkey sausage egg-white sandwich or a vegetable one. Both will be under 300 calories with 9 grams of fat or less, the company said. The new menu will be called DDSmart and will include all current and new items that either have 25 percent few calories, sugar, fat or sodium than comparable products or contain ingredients that are “nutritionally beneficial,” the company said. Current products that will join the new sandwiches on the menu include a multigrain bagel and a reduced-fat blueberry muffin. Dunkin’ will continue to add products to the menu and is currently developing several new offerings, but would not disclose any details.?”
Well I am off to pack lunches, get hubby up for work and as soon as he leaves get in some excercise and hopefully come back on for a few minutes before I go to work!
Have a great day!
Big HUGS!
I’m so impressed with you - that is true committment to keep going when u dont want to - to encourage those around you to join in. U know even if others give - u, ureself should neva give up - keeping going, u will see the results you want along the way!
What a great thing to inspire others
You seem really committed. Good for you.
I love the info about Dunkin Donuts, thanks for sharing.
You are an inspiration. I know exactly how you feel about exercise. See right now I am putting it off until the last possible minute, but I always feel better afterwards. My husband falls asleep early everyday too. I have tried to get him to go for walks with me and the dogs, so far all attempts have failed. It is funny we used to walk the dogs everyday in the spring. Now that it is summer we haven’t walked them once…hmmmm. Great job with your co-workers. You should be so proud of yourself.
Yay! That’s awesome! I hate to exercise, too. It is the bane of my existance! But, I have finally found something that works for me. I have been doing Dance Dance Revolution and let me tell you, nothing makes me sweat harder then that.
Keep up that fantastic work and before you know it, those pesky 66 lbs will be melted off.
You are doing great girl! Richard Simmons in the morning and walking at break. Wow! Impressive.
And sometimes I just want to buy a fitness magazine for my husband and toss it to him and say “Hey, get healthy.” lol
I’m not in love with exercise myself either! I am impressed that you will actually do it at home. In the past I’ve bought DVD’s and they just sit there. I have to force myself to the gym to go to what I call my “death by exercise” class, which is actually body sculpting…not an easy work out. I leave in pain every time, but I am still very determined and I push myself farther every time.. when it gets tuff I repeat in my mind “I hate men” over and over. I really don’t hate men. I still think their studly and all, but I’m in a spiteful mood, as you know. Keep up the good work. You inspire and amaze me
((hugs))
You’re doing so good!!! I am very proud of you. Keep it up! :o)
Thank you for the info. and great job with the workout! You are truly an inspiration. Luv Ya! sista! You rock!
