Ok, I had a talk with myself after taking a 5 minute hilly walk and feeling very, very sore the next day.  I realized how out of shape I was and if I continue this way for very much longer, things will only get worse.  Its like Richard Simmons once said, “use it or lose it”.  I dug around my town and found a place where they have drop in deep water aerobics twice a week, at 5 bucks a workout.  I think I can do this as there will be no sweating involved and that is half the reason I don’t like to exercise is the sweat rolling down your face and looking all red like a tomato.  It feels easy in the pool but is one of the best things you can do for exercise and it is low impact on your joints. These will be on Monday and Wednesday so I am committing to this.  Its at a good time in the evening so no excuses here.  I will have to change my WW day to Thursday but that is fine.  I am going to an A’s game tonight so tomorrow will be my new start date as I will bite the bullet and weigh in at WW’s.  I bought a new journal to log my food and stuff, bought a nifty little points calculator so I am set to go.  What really irritates me is that most of what I wanted to lose could have been off  by now since January had I not screwed around.  So…. Onward and persistangly I go, no more excuses.  There will always be something come up so I am just going to deal with it and not let the get together’s be about the food anymore.  I will allow myself ONE thing a week that I would really like, anything, but just one thing,  after weigh in day and that’s it.  This has always worked before so this is my plan.  I also am going to check in here daily and do something, comment, submit a recipe something… even if it is only 5 minutes, it will help keep me focused.  You guys are all terrific ladies and are so encouraging.  I hope everyone will not give up and keep trying.  We can do this and together is better than struggling by yourself.
