I'm going to rename my cat "holdout"....someone in this house has been sneaking him turkey slices (whistling) and roast beef and all of a sudden he won't eat his Fancy Feast.
I swear if I could hold out like him I'd be at my goal.
I spent most of the day in bed trying to prevent this miserable head cold from moving to my chest. Got lots of rest, so I'm hoping that will help. Tim just called and is finally on his way home from work. No workout today and didn't get to go see Dad, which I feel bad about, but I don't want him to get sick either. He really enjoyed having the dogs there with him yesterday. Next trip, I'll take Riley. I got the Hip Hop Abs videos yesterday, but have been too sick to use them. I did watch parts of them today. They look like fun.
CL-Deb, please don't be so hard on yourself about not working out. I went for about 18 months without working out, and while I realize that's not an example to follow, I knew eventually I'd get back to it. In the meantime, I had the friendship, support, and motivation of all the wonderful women here. Some of us do better with our eating and others do better with our excising. All of us seem to go in cycles, except J-Deb. ;-) She is the most consistent exerciser I've ever known! I hope you'll continue as CL, but if you decide your schedule doesn't permit, then we will certainly understand that. You know what's right for you. (((Hugs)))
I think I'm going to take a hot soak, take my medicines, and get back in bed.
First off, thank you! Each and everyone of you wonderful friends. When I posted yesterday I was not looking for sympathy from you. I don't want you to think I was complaining about my family or where I am at. I get frustrated with myself and I always will. I can not change that, it is just how I am. I feel ashamed to admit that I dislike exercise and have not been able to find something I can stick with or enjoy. Especially when I read how well you all do and how well you manage or juggle things. I appreciated that everyone does not want me to step down and understands the demands of my busy life. I know that my life is not much different then many of you other ladies, thus the understanding and care we get and give here. I would never disappear from FOF for you ladies are a daily dose of strength and friendship that I look for each day. I just wanted to let "anyone" else have the opportunity to help Patty, who may have more time, better knowledge or ideas to know I have no problem stepping aside. Sometimes we need a new perspective and I just want to let anyone know its alright if they want to give it a try. I know some of us have more time then others and maybe they have thought...........only if.... I am not going to step down or run away, because Patty does need a little back up, but we know she needs little help with her thoughts, ideas and words for she motivated each and everyone of us daily in some form or another. Again I thank each of you for taking the time to reach out to me yesterday, that was never my intentions. I am here, sometimes just peeking in for a minute or two but I am here.......like now time to run. Shower and work call my name.
Deb, sweetie, you are way too hard on yourself. You should never be ashamed of not liking exercise. There is no shame in that. I have 2 sisters, one who loved exercise and one who hated it. 6 yrs ago one was exercising every single
