Do you talk to your mirror?I do.
As Bree's wedding drew near and things got really busy, I stopped exercising except for my tennis and bike rides and even those I did less than normal. And I never started back. And my eating has been out of control. OUT OF CONTROL!
The wedding was 6 weeks ago people. 6 weeks!
So....lately I've been saying things like this when I stand in front of the mirror:
What are you waiting on?
You're out of control!
Get your hiney in gear!
You're getting lazy!
Get with the program!
Let's get this party started!
Who ARE you?
My mirror definitely has not said this:
So I feel like this:
MY PLAN:
Tomorrow morning when I stand in front of my mirror, here's what I'm gonna say:
Today is the day!
No excuses!
You WILL exercise.
You WILL watch what you eat.
You WILL drink more water.
You WILL feel better, have more energy and enjoy your clothes more.
And you still can eat some dark chocolate!!!! Yippee!
A girl's gotta have something to look forward to, right? ;-)
"Father, help me to be a blessing to someone today."

After coming back from a weekend of too much eating, I'm right there with you. There is no way I want to gain back the weight I lost this spring or lose the energy I gained. Losing control is fun for a while, but not for long.
I am with you, I need to get back to my walking. I have been so busy and it has been so hot, that I have not seriously walked in a long time. I have gained 4 lbs. that I need to get rid of. Maybe if we hold each other accountable, we can do it!! I'm like you, I have to have my chocolate and/or my sweets. That is my downfall. Love & blessings from NC!
It's amazing how easy it is to get out of a routine. I work out with a friend...That motivates me to go every day. If I didn't have her to ask where I was if I didn't show up, I might not do as well. You can do it!
Too funny....love the pictures....
I fear someone coming in and hearing me talking to myself...LOL
I have gone so long, I fear I can't get motivated anymore. I know I just need to start! All the stress over the last year has taken its toll on me and my willpower.
Cute cartoons!
LOL!! Too funny, Kat; I've not been eating or exercising right since my granddaughter has been in & out of the hospital. Thank you for reminding me I need to do better!!
Hope you have a great day, and don't stay out in that brutal heat any longer than you have to!!
I have said some of the exact same things to myself. My baby is 2 months now. I have started slowly but my excuse is that I am tired from being up with the baby. I guess it took nine months to put this on I shouldn't expect to get rid of it in a week or in my case 2 months.
Been there--and still doing that! Except for me it's been 4 yrs! EEK!! It all started when my daughter (and grandbabies)went from living 8 minutes away to 8 hours away. I consoled myself with food and now I'm stuck.
But I like your plan Kat. I think it's time I joined the "I WILL" instead of staying in the "What's the use"!
Thanks for the pep-talk!!
You've been a blessing to me today.
It seems like it's been one party after another followed by hospital cafeteria food (which isn't as healthy as you'd think) then more holiday-birthday stuff then another hospital visit...I'm with you...time to get some energy!
Kat.. we found out today that Don's Hep C has relapsed. I am just heart broken...
Last summer I lost 10 pounds and put it back on again from March until May. You would think that I would learn my lesson taking off the same 10 pounds and putting it back on faster each time. I have been doing this yo yo diet thing for 35 years and I still have not learned my lesson to shut my mouth and move my feet. I guess I am still looking for a miracle cure but I really should go and see a shrink:-) Perhaps you can motivate us all in blog land to get up and going and not just running to the fridge for ice cream:-) I refuse to buy a larger size and my pants are just about zipping today. I am so so so bad and honestly if Richard Simmons dropped in today and Jillian from the Biggest Loser I would probably still offer then a piece of chocolate cake:-) I need boot camp for sure!

I like the last thing, about chocolate, that you're going to say to your mirror. And I think you're still the fairest of them all, sweet friend. xxoo
As soon as I get over this sickness, I want to start walking again. Cute cartoons.
We must have the same mirror. I talk to mine too. I've been where you are at. Like last week. I'm doing better this week. Not perfect, but better. You'll be fine. You are like the energizer bunny. You just keep on going.
You sound like me! My daughter Jennifer was married 2 weeks ago and all I want to do is eat! I just had some chocolate and a Diet Coke :)
You are beautiful!
Hugs,
Donna
