Hello from the State of Denial

Maybe it's because it's winter. Maybe it's because I'm lazy. Maybe it's because everything feels like such an effort. Whatever the reason (or rationale), I'm stuck in neutral. I haven't gained any weight nor have I lost any.

I had committed to turning in the paperwork for the water aerobics classes at Dekalb Medical on Tuesday. Then I realized that my membership starts the day I turn in the paperwork so I should be ready to take a class that day. Otherwise, I'd be wasting money. Since we're in a recession, I need to save every penny. (Now is where you do as I did - pretend that you don't know that the first week is free.) Okay, so I decided I would go to the class Wednesday morning. Oops, my niece needed me to baby-sit so Wednesday was out. What about Thursday? Wasn't it raining yesterday? So, the truth is that I never signed up for the wellness center membership. The paperwork is still on the front seat of my car.

So, here is what I promise you (and myself) that I will do today;

1. Go the 4:00 class at the wellness center today.
2. Plan my meals for the coming week.
3. Buy myself flowers to help my home feel more like spring.

  1. I am so glad you are human. Enjoy the flowers. Continue planning your meals. Despite the peaks, valleys and plateaus, you continue to move forward and that alone keeps me motivated. I hear there are great meal and exercise suggestions on 50millionpoounds.com, but I wouldn't know because I have found many more unhealthy things to do with my time.

  2. Toni, since your Curves appointment is 5 days away, can you commit to doing one physical activity between now and then? Nothing too strenuous -maybe 20-30 minutes of walking? The weather is supposed to be lovely this weekend.
