  • I am proud of me! :)

    Hello All,

    I posted this in my journal, but I wanted to share it here with some of you all too. I just exercised for the first time since I was a freshman in high school in 1989. I did the Walk tape by Leslie Sansone and I was able to do the two miles. Yep, I am sweating like a pig, but I kept up with her chipper tushy for two miles.

    I am posting this to let the newbies know that even at my weight I was able to do it. There is no excuse for not doing some exercise...I have had that epiphany.

    I hated it, sure, but exercise is not an option on Atkins! You have to do it, so with some forceful help (Brook) I finally got my rump in gear and did it. So, you can too! I actually don't feel too bad now either!

    Deb

    P.S. Go Atkins, go Atkins, go Atkins! I am so going to get healthy and stick my tongue out at all the people who scoff at the Atkins plan!

            Great job on accomplishing 2 miles. Gaining the habit of exercise is such a huge step forward to being healthy. Being down over 26 pounds in one month is HUGE!!!! Congrats on both the walking and the pounds down!

                Way to go!!!! I know the idea of exercising is daunting, but it is so worth it!!! I always tell myself "the hardest part is putting on my shoes".. meaning the decision to do it takes more effort then the act itself.. Congratulations for taking that step!!

                  Mary-chan,

                  You are right! It is hard to put the DVD in and put on the shoes. Once I got started, it wasn't that bad though. I just have to make myself do it tomorrow.

                    Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?

                              Slimndown,

                              I sure am trying. I found that by doing it this morning, I have more energy right now and that is not something that I was expecting.
