NO MORE EXCUSES!

I have seen photos of myself recently and I am just disgusted! Not sure why I've let myself go. OK...that is a lie...I totally know. I've been lazy and spending TOO much time playing on the computer. Ever since I discovered PhotoShop Elements (about a year and a half ago) I've done a very poor job with exercising. There have been times when I get into a work out routine, but then laziness sets in...

SO ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!

Last night we brought home our new elliptical machine. My plan is to spend 30 mins a day (with one day off a week) on it. We set it up in front of the TV, so it should be easy to exercise while I catch a show or the news. 30 mins a day isn't that much!
I took my measurements and a photo a few minutes ago. While I won't post my measurements, I will put my before pic below. Not sure how often I will retake measurements/photo, but I have decided to NOT weigh myself. I really don't care how much I weigh. I just want to look and feel good AND to have my clothes fit comfortably.I know that being fit & healthy is about eating & exercise, but I am going to concentrate on exercise. Quite frankly, I like to eat and I don't really feel like changing that. Yes~ I will cut down and as I get more fit I probably won't overeat as much, but when we are at parties and what not, I am not going to skimp!

Wish me luck!!

PS~ It's Thankful Thursday, so I am thankful for the good health that I do have (and that I am going to improve on!)

  2. OHHH so you are saying it's all MY fault! LOL

    Good luck, maybe someday I'll be at the point you are but for now I'm too good at using food to "medicate" myself so its going to be a while!

  4. Congratulations! Seriously, sometimes the hardest part of exercise or diet is getting started. I commend you for making a commitment to being healthy.
    You're setting a good example for the rest of us.
