  • Packrat habits pay off

    This morning I was feeling very fat. Since the semester started, and my schedule changed, I have not exercised plus I've fallin back into cheating again. As a result, my scale showed another gain.

    At first I thought maybe I'll scrap Atkins and join WW instead. Right, spending $85 to join the online program will really fix everything. NOT!

    Then I told myself to get off my butt and get out for a walk, but not just a stroll, a real exercise workout walk. I found my old walkman (actually I found 2 of them). Inside one was my Jenny Craig walking program Level 3. Next I found some batteries, but no headphones. So off to the dollar store for a $2 set. Back home again and a bit of rooting around on my bookshelf unearthed the Level 1 & 2 tape for the walking program.

    Gloves, hat, coat, scarf, walkman and I was off. Half way though I found a park bench and planned to sit for a minute but it was covered in water so I just leaned on the arm-rest for 30 seconds instead.

    I did the full level one 20 minute workout keeping pace with the music. I feel great!

    To keep it going I've joined the ADBB group at the Presidents Challenge. This week is going to be different. Back to basics Water, Exercises, Food plan, no cheating.!!!!!

    Congratulations on getting back into the groove, Michelle
    Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?

                  Wooooo, girl! I know how you feel! Good for you. I know it's hard. I just finished my little 15-minute workout and I'll be doggone if I'm not so tired I'm ready to take a nap! Exercise ain't supposed to do that to you! It's supposed to make you feel more alert! But not me! LOL

                            Great start!! Keep it up!! I always find it's easier to stick with something (exercise, eating) when you can be accountable to someone/something besides yourself... signing up for President's Challenge definitely counts!
