Seeing yourself in the buff in front of a full mirror is an eye opener. I mean, I knew there was a problem, but a mirror doesn't hide flaws like loose pants do. I'm not sure where to start, other than to first stop eating chocolate and baked goods whenever I wish. I also need to get moving. I have a treadmill and I need to use it. I also have some good excercise tapes, but I always can find something else I'd rather be doing ;o)<BR/><BR/>I need to get started, then it will get easier to stay at it.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00182631145884215808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12387591.post-9431417660981155102007-10-31T15:56:00.000-07:002007-10-31T15:56:00.000-07:00What positive steps you are talking.

I have been very consistent for the past 2 months. I also starting walking 15-20 minutes a day. This started because I am also getting arthitis in my knees (I'm too young, darn it!). These things started not because of weight, but because of aching bones. <BR/><BR/>Also trying to cut back on coffee (having a cup now)& sweets. This is not going so well right now. This is because of acid reflux. I had several very painful bouts with it, it kinda scared me too. I found it is not always coffee, it is the really sweet foods, like donuts & danish, fried foods & chocolate. I am not eliminating but cutting back or at leaslt trying to. I asked God to help me & put the desire in my heart to be more healthy. <BR/><BR/>Eve had it easy with all the fresh fruits in the garden (until she blew it). Of course you know how I am with fresh fruit.Lynettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14836791386527613208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12387591.post-6879331407960365522007-10-31T12:13:00.000-07:002007-10-31T12:13:00.000-07:00I am definitely un-dieting right now, too. (someon...I am definitely un-dieting right now, too. (someone else let you know about the Prism plan? unless you know more'n one Donna. :-) Cutting back on portion sizes is where I am at right now. My appetite was giant-sized when I was pregnant and nursing the twins exclusively, and I am reigning back to normal now.<BR/><BR/>I took a piece of bday cake today and cut it in four portions, so when I wanted another piece I got another small one. <BR/>It helps me. (baked goods are danger for me, even if made with whole wheat, which this cake was)<BR/><BR/><BR/>I walk right now, and I do 15 minutes of T Tapp daily. I recommend it highly, when you feel up to adding something to the walking. It is zero impact but strengthens the muscles and is designed for people with physical difficulties. Right now my knees are in bad shape and I can't do some of the exercise that I love. Ttapp is rehabilatative for knees, etc.<BR/><BR/>I am down 2 lbs this week, 192.5. But I will not feel like I have lost til I am down under the 185 mark. I have lost and regained these 10 lbs several times since the twins were born.<BR/><BR/>Much love to you, Theresa. It sounds like you have already made so many good habits. I will pray that God will help you with the walking habit this week!Donna Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14235514950908851561noreply@blogger.com
