Back on Track...

Ok... I'm motivated again.

After following the WW diet sporadically for the past 6 months... with little to no will power, I decided to break down and join.

I cancelled my membership to Curves (since I was rarely finding time to get in there anyway) and instead will put the money towards a WW membership. I didn't know if it would be worth it or not... I already know the ins and outs of the diet thanks to the wonder of the internet... but I found that I WAS motivated.

I hit my first meeting Monday night. At first I thought to myself, "How corny is this??" All these people cheering and clapping... but ya know, after awhile it didn't seem so corny, and I found myself getting caught up in the enthusiasm.

I left the meeting and realized that I was now motivated to succeed in this. I want to go in there next week with a LOSS... and I'm going to do whatever it takes THIS week to get it. I'm hoping to walk at least 45 minutes a day at a brisk pace... AND do my ab machine... AND stay within my points.

Today the roads were nasty and slushy, so instead of walking I put in my cardio dance blast DVD. It took me a few minutes to get into it... but it was ok. Not the workout I had planned, but it got my heart rate up for a bit anyway... and my calves were feeling the burn by the time I got done. Tomorrow is another day. I'm hoping it will be nice enough to get outside and do a solid 45 minutes. Don't have to work tomorrow, so hopefully I can get the time in while Noah's at school... wooohoooooo!

Anyone else ready to try again? This diet blog started out with a bang... but we all kinda fizzled. What do you say? Give it another go with me? Anyone? Anyone?? (LOL... now I have Ben Stein's voice in my head). Ok... that's enough.

Keep me accountable, guys

Yeah, how is it going HC? I've decided to start exercising again too. No, no strict dieting, just making sure I eat less fat and more fruits and veges! I hope it's going well for you!
