Won't Miss These

I Image Source

I have been doing pretty good so far.  We went to the gym on Monday and are planning to go again tonight.  The last time I went to the gym I really worked up a sweat.  Since I am so heavy I am concerned about how hard I should work.  I just turned 40 and am healthy.  I wonder if there is a place to find out what my goal should be for the weight that I am?  If anyone knows, please leave me a comment.  Speaking of comments..thanks so much for the encuoraging comments.   They sure mean a lot.  

I decided to start a list of things I will NOT miss about losing weight.  

#1 I will not miss being tired and feeling like a slug all the time.  

#2  I will not miss looking at the stairs as a major hurdle.  I won't miss being really winded when I climb a small amount of stairs.  I won't miss looking at the stairs and trying to find the elevator instead.  I will take the stairs most of the time when I get a big chunk of this weight off!!! 

#3  I will not miss the debate I have in my head when I go to a restaurant.  Should I risk the booth or just ask for a table.  Will the hostess know right away that I don't want a booth because it will be uncomfortable (because I am too darn big!).  I think I will ONLY sit in booths in the future.  I just might boycott tables all together!  

I will add more to my list tomorrow.   To Be Continued....

Great list!

I love your list.  And I remember when I was pregnant, DH & I went to McDonald's.  I first tried a booth and didnt' fit.  Then I tried one of those tables where the chairs swivel back and forth.  I sat and tried to turn the chair and my belly stopped me.  So I cried right then and there.  Maybe the fact that I was there eating that crap is why I coldn't fit.  LOL!  Anyway, just a goofy story that I wanted to share.  You can do this.  I'm late, but welcome to EP.

Love it!

Welcome to EP.  I'm not exercise expert for sure, but I do know that working out is the biggest factor for me in my weight loss journey.  If you've not been working out, I say just start small.  Walking, bicycling...whatever you can find that you'll stick to doing, just do some as many days a week as you can and build on that.  I use exercise videos and my recumbent bike for most of my workouts and I've been amazed at how far I've come fitness wise.  Good luck!!!

I love the picture and your list!  It's excellent to make a list of the things you won't miss.  I think you are so right~boycott those tables in the future and the future is yours!  Great job!
