small changes…

I’m doing better this time around, I think because I’m making small changes every day, so as to not overwhelm myself.  Today I’ve started wearing my pedometer again.  It’s a great motivator.  It’s a visual reminder to keep moving! :)

One week down….

My first week back on track went pretty well.  I have a great friend who is going to be my walking buddy on Wednesdays now.  If it’s nice, well put my two little ones in strollers and walk outside.  If it’s not nice, we’ll go to a mall nearby with covered parking so we are out of the elements.

 It helps to have someone who expects you to be there so you are less likely to flake out on excercising.  “Baby Steps” ;)

Baby steps…

Well, I’ve finally found some motivation to do what I need to do to get back on track to get healthy.  My friends and family, as always, are very supportive. (They’ve seen me start and stop a million times!)  I just keep saying to myself “Baby steps…it took awhile to get this way…it won’t go away tomorrow…just keep trying and you’ll get there!” 

back on the wagon…

Well, here I am again…back on the wagon….After 3 kids, 6, 2, and 18 months, my body is in horrible shape.  I’ve been in denial about it.  I quit WW again for the 3rd time.  I’m going to try to do this on my own, at home and excercising outdoors walking, playing with the kids.  I need to set a healthier example for my children.
