Time to do something about it

No way around it, I'm fat. And I'm slowly getting tired of it. I keep trying to be accepting of my body....I don't hate my body. But this darn belly, and fatty armpits, and the fact that I can't polish my toenails. Time to stop my complaining and just start exercising and eating better. Nothing too intense.

The hubby dragged me back to the gym yesterday. I did 20 min on my favorite cardio machine, the Cybex Arc Trainer.

using my favorite exercise accessory, my Ipod Nano.


Then just a teenie tiny bit of weights, at teenie tiny weight (that was supposed to sound funny, guess it doesn't.) I have a neck/shoulder problem and am not supposed to lift anything, but the stretching portion feels good.

So I've started. I also have tried since yesterday to watch the food. In about an hour though I'm out to lunch with the KC Pinheads. And I won't munch on any of the other yummies that are brought.

Goals - I don't want to diet, just pay better attention to hunger and the quality of food. I do want to exercise, and will build that up slowly.

Initial weight goal is to lose 12 lbs. Then just go in 10 lb increments (maybe 5, who knows.) I will post a ticker later.

Wish me luck.

  1. Best wishes Annette! I think it's great you're trying to be healthy! I'm trying to lose weight, too. More than that I need to get healthy as I've had a couple health scares. I started swimming in Jan. and I LOVE it!
