Bringing this place back to life!
So okay, I was thinking that since I am on this whole new health and wellness kick I should record it somewhere. I didn't want to "clutter" up my normal journal with it, so what better place than here?! I've started the Whole Foods eating plan, which is basically a low-carbish type thing. It still encourages eating carbs, just not the ones found in chips and chocolate and such. I've also started doing my Tae-Bo again. I had to start over with the 30 minute workout (3 years ago I was doing the 60 minute one and it was a piece of cake) but at least I am starting somewhere again. I prefer working out in the morning before my shower, but with time constraints (ie I can't get my ass out of bed in time) I've been changing into my workout stuff and doing it right when I get home from work. This has worked out well the past couple days. It's also nice because I have a solid hour before Will gets home so I don't have to feel self-concious (even though it's silly of me to worry about that). I haven't told Will about working out because I suppose I want it to be something of a surprise. I also don't want to have to worry about explaining if I don't stick with it. It's funny, but that mentality is helping me be motivated about it. Go figure? Even though it's only been 2 days now, I already feel MUCH better. I've stopped drinking soda completely and just drink water at home. That isn't nearly the problem I thought it would be for me. I don't really miss the sugar water. I can feel in my muscles that I've been using them for the first time in years and that feels wonderful. Anyway, this is long enough. I will try to keep this community alive! ;) Current Mood:  happy |

The latest plan...
So, last Sunday I followed a link from a friend's journal and came across this: http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtmlI sent it to Will, he thought it sounded good, too. Monday was day 1 and I thought I was gonna die. Today was day 2 and we both found ourselves enjoying it! Go figure! Now if I can only get myself to start up my Tae Bo on Tues and Thurs again I'll feel UBER accomplished! Current Mood: accomplished |

Finally some good news to report...
Last month at some point I weighed 192. I was NOT happy with this. Yesterday I weighed myself and I am down to 184. This pleases me. The past 2 days  boum0007 and I have dutifully gone to the YMCA and worked out for a grueling 1/2 hour on the elliptical machines. *huff* *puff* I am actually hoping she's in the mood to go again today! Current Mood: motivated |

I haven't been exercising . . . but everyone tells me that I look like I've been losing weight. Maybe it's divine intervention . . . . . . or the fact that I've seriously cut down on caffeine. But I'd like to think it's the first. ;) |

Didn't get on the exercise machine today. I did, however, chop a lot of lumber today. *sigh* I am SO sore right now. And tired. And tomorrow is only going to be worse. But it's a start. |

Step 1
My exercise machine was dusted, and I set it up today. Hey--it's a start, anyway. |

confessions of a lazy veLorwen...
My first thought in the morning is, "Not yet... please." I go to bed too late and eat too much junk food. I have available for my use, but collecting dust, a recumbent exercise bike, a stairmaster, a full set of free weights and a home gym. I love to belly dance, but don't make time to do it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ Baby steps work best on these goal things, right? TODAY Clean off the exercise bike --- this means putting away the pile of laundry that I have entombed it with. Find my belly dance video and make time tonight to at least do the warm up exercises for dance. ---- accountability is good |

Goals...
Okay, I'll join the club. The goal is to join the YMCA next month and try to get there 3-4 times per week. I have to go meet Will's father in May, and I'm in a wedding in September. Eeek! So, this year the goal is to shed 40 lbs. Current Mood: determined |

When I was cleaning my house this past weekend, I noticed that my exercise machine has dust on it. A LOT of dust. I still haven't set it up from when I moved. Time to get cracking for me, too. I could certainly afford to lose some weight. Maybe having you around will be motivation, eh? Current Mood: determined |
