That is the question.
So my sister Jenni
has really been an inspiration with her weight loss. Because of this, I
am trying to get motivated and start moving around. My day basically
consists of sitting in front of the computer at work all day and then
come home and sit in front of the TV all night and then sleep. No
activity.
My activity consists of me trying not to have a heart
attack while mowing the lawn on Saturday, we have a ginormous ditch in
the front (ginormous is a word - look it up). It's a sight to see. Me
gasping for air...*gasp* I need air.
In March I purchased the P90X
program and was really excited about it - but figured out quickly that
this wasn't for poor little couch potato me. Maybe post boot camp me -
but not the now me. I hope to be able to do the P90X in the future,
however this is not the beginning step.
Being a glutton for punishment and a serious infomercial freak...I came upon the Slim in 6®
program and like how it starts out as low impact and then works up to
harder moves. So I purchased it and its been sitting in the box for
about three months. Hey, there's a reason why.
For the past year I've been suffering with plantar faciitis.
Its a painful foot affliction that I do not wish on anyone. It affects
both of my feet so I can't compensate by standing on the other foot. A
couple of weeks ago my foot doctor has cleared me to do low impact
exercises until my feet heal fully. So I've decided to start my Slim in
6® regimen. I wanted to start on Monday, but I caught the work crud and
it totally sucks. It seems like couch potato me doesn't want me to
exercise.
I know that exercise isn't going to solve all of my
issues. I know eating healthy is a big part of it as well. Here lies the
problem...I'm a sugar fiend. I love love love sweets. I used to eat a
dozen doughnuts for lunch when I was in high school. I ate a whole can
of cinnamon rolls when I was pregnant with Matt. I cannot back away from
sweets. I just wolfed down two cookies... no shame. I think its
hereditary...Dad is a sweet junky as well.
Hopefully once I start
exercising I'll see how hard it is and then try and eat better so that
all of my hard work doesn't go out the window. Any tips and suggestions
will be greatly appreciated.
So as soon as the crud has exited my
body - I'm going to start my exercises. Maybe then I can go to sleep
before 1 am since I wake up at 5 am during the week. Maybe that's why
I'm so tired... Wish me luck...
Jenni, if this doesn't work...I blame you for being so inspirational. ;)
