It was the strangest thing.
I was having a totally blah day, dragging my rear, I have been feeling a little out of sorts the past few days.
Then I ran out of coffee and decided to quit – again – I had kicked it for a full year and slowly went back to it.
So, although today is the day I have vowed to get active again, I’ve let it slide enough lately that I am developing
my old paunch again, I decided to treat myself to one of my old stand by’s on days like this – ice cream with real maple
syrup and rice krispies. It works for me! But not my paunch.
Anyway, I decide since I’m dragging around to watch Oprah, one of my favourite shows, while eating.
I turn it on and immediately groan, of course she’s doing a show on weight loss today.
They cut to commercial, and when they come back, she turns around, looks at the camera and says, she’s talking
to me!
She’s talking to the one on the couch who is having problems with the last ten lbs and sitting on the couch eating a bag
of chips!
I looked around, sure enough there was no one else beside me, so I figured she was talking to me with the ice cream too.
I hate when that happens :0)
Anyway, if you where munching on the couch too, don’t despair. Oprah is right.
We can beat that last 10lbs, and more.
Today I have pledged to take 1/2 hour for myself and exercise.
I don’t know what I’m doing yet, but I will be doing something.
How about you?
BTW, the ice cream was worth it, but I won’t be going for another bowl for awhile :0)
Especially when I’m watching Oprah (who appears to be watching me too).
UPDATE
I know what I'm doing now!
I stumbled upon Fit Yummy Mummy and am REALLY liking it. Not only because the fitness and lifestyle information is good, including the
workout videos that are included, but Holly is a real mom and includes a lot of mom information too. It is the only Mom fitness program that
I have come across – Made for Mom's by Mom's (her son's stepmom is her sidekick if that tells you anything about Holly)
Anyway, you can see more about that if you want to jump right in, or you can sign up for my weekly "Booty Camp" – free weekly tips that I am doing that will help you too.
Yeah, coffee…I was off it for over a year and have been having a ball eating like a pig and drinking the caffeine. I am getting out to hike at least once a day.
My issue, body changes at peri-menopause. Try hormones which affect the thyroid. Plus, I like to eat but can’t do what I use to.
New Year, new direction…but didn’t make any weight loss goals.
