GOING TO DO IT!!!!
So, today's goal is to clear out a space in my bedroom for my elliptical. It's been sitting in my garage since I got it. I WILL get it out of the garage. I WILL get it into my bedroom, and I WILL use it!
I was watching a show the other day and it was about a woman who was losing weight. One of her rewards for losing weight was that she was going to learn how to kayak. She was still overweight, but had lost quite a bit of weight, so she went to take a kayaking lesson. She looked at the kayak, realized that she wouldn't even fit in it and was really upset. That episode got me thinking about the kids of things I enjoy doing. I used to LOVE hiking. I LOVED kayaking. I LOVED swimming. I LOVED bike riding. I LOVED water skiing, I LOVED white water rafting. When I was thin, while I didn't like EXERCISING, I loved being active. Forced exercise was never enjoyable to me, but fun activity was. I also really enjoyed raquetball, tennis, etc. I can't do those things now because I'm out of shape and overweight. I can lose the weight, but really, losing the weight isn't going to make it so I can ride a bike without getting tired, kayak around without my arms feeling like they're going to fall off, help me get up on those skis, etc. I also need to get in shape. Sadly, getting in shape requires exercise. lol So, exercise is no longer going to be viewed as something I need to do to lose weight. It's going to be viewed as something I need to do to be able to do the things I want to do when I've lost weight. Obviously, weight loss isn't a big enough motivator to get me exercising, otherwise my elliptical would already be in my room. Being able to do those activities just may be, though. :)
Food today: 6 Ritz crackers.
Ummm, yeah. Not doing so well today. lol
