I "attempted" pilates this morning with Denise. I just need to say that the whole "get your energy from your core" thing... not working very well for me. If that's where my energy is coming from, then no wonder I'm tired all the time. It wasn't pretty, but it was exercise and I'm looking forward to getting stronger in that area. If I let myself really dream, I can see a six pack in my future! Anyway, I feel very good about how well I'm doing on my food intake and logging of food and points. I am lacking motivation on exercise though and I'm not really sure why. I think part of it is just making sure to schedule it into the day and make it a priority. My days are busy, but so is everyone else's. I also think part of the problem is that I find it hard to make "me" a priority. It's much easier for me to take care of everyone else. Anyway, I guess it comes down to balance. I also think it is a must for me to start my day with some God time. I feel better and have more focus for the day.
At 48 yrs old, it is amazing to me that I still feel like I have so much to work on. I guess when I was in my 20's, I thought I had it all figured out. Now I've spent the last 20 years (especially the last 5) realizing how very little I know and how much I still need to grow.
Thanks to my friends and family for the encouragement, accountability, and prayers on my journey to a healthier me. And thanks for allowing me to be a part of yours as well.

I'm proud of you, Kathy. Once you get into a routine of exercise, it will become part of "what you do" and won't feel right without it. I'll take a class with you if we can find one at a time that is good for both of us. Your schedule is much more hectic than mine so I can be at your mercy. What do ya think?
ReplyDeleteThanks Barb! I just started back working out in the mornings and going to Water Aerobics at Krannert some Tues and Thurs, but need to be more regular on that. Also, getting in some workouts at the school, but again I just need to get in a routine so the day doesn't get away from me without a workout. Maybe I can find a class on Mon and Wed. I'll look in our church bulletin. I know they have some all the time. Thanks for being an encourager!!

ReplyDeleteCheck out this lady!!! Talk about encouragement.
You are doing all the right things. With every great decision there will be results that lead to blessings.
I thought your idea about the first thing in the morning God time was a key ingredient and I need to add that necessity in every day not just most days of the week. Thanks for the reminder!
Pilates (Scott) loves this class at work!!

They start them all of the time and it really does keep me accountable every day to log on and report my success.
Hugs to you girl!

I did check out the lady that you suggested. And I just want you to know that I am considering legal action because they did not get my permission to put her head on my body for that photo.

Jane,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the encouragement! I have never blogged before so this is a very new experience for me, but a good one. I am finding that hearing from my friends helps me to be accountable and gives me greater conviction to stay on track. Thanks again. It really does feel good to have another cheerleader!
