About an hour ago, I faced the following situation- exercise or not exercise? I knew if I didn't exercise, it would become a free day, meaning I would purposely derail my eating by using the excuse "You can restart tomorrow. Plus you're running a 10k in the morning". I tried to justify a final decision by using that excuse, but I knew I should not give in. So, instead of thinking about the snacks that I was going to have, I threw on my exercise clothes and laced up my shoes. I knew I made the right decision, but once I got to the park, I found myself procrastinating by cleaning my purse and car. I forced myself out of the car and went for a 2 mile bike ride.
I know the 2 mile bike ride isn't much, compared to what I'm used to do. I KNEW I had to do some exercising or else I would have found myself in the kitchen multiple times before bed. I know it's still early in the evening, but I plan on exercising soon more. I WILL avoid the kitchen until tomorrow morning.
Your story (huffingtonpost.com)is inspiring me to do the same. I have far less weight to lose, yet it has been very difficult for me to lose it and keep it off. I lost several times but after my last gain to 235ish, I was only able to get down to 200lbs.
ReplyDeletei have begun exercising more awhile ago but was afraid to exercise too much because of my weight and age, 53. Your exercising routines have dispelled that myth. I will begin exercising more. It is raining now but, the second there is a break in the rain out I will go. I am going to use google/maps to figure my mileage. Today is a 2 miles walk. That seems like a good start. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Thank you Zoku for the comment! Good luck with your weight loss journey. I wish you nothing but the best. I'm sure you already know, but when it comes to exercising and dieting, dedication is key. Keep it up! I’ll be rooting for you!
