I am excited about doing this with Painiacs My bud!!! Shes going to keep me in line and I'm going to keep her in line. And since were both visually handicapped....this ought to be fun because I don't think either one of us can walk a straight line. I KNOW that I can't.

Losing weight for me has been a very very hard struggle since I was diagnosed as being a type 2 diabetic insulin dependent. Just recently I have been getting for me "alot of exercising" mainly walking using my rollator which is a fancy looking walker with wheels and a seat because I have alot of balance problems. On bad weather days, I try to walk up and down our 2 flights of stairs for 30 minutes at a time. And that is not including how many times I have to go upstairs to use the bathroom. My goal for 2013 is to lose AT LEAST 150 pounds. I know that it is going to be hard but I am going to give it my best shot. Even if I only lose 2-3 pounds its worth it. I weighed myself yesterday and I won't say how much I weigh. I did have my husband put my scale out in the store room and lock the door and told him not to bring it out until January 31 that way I won't HAVE to check to see how much I have lost or gained so that I won't be discouraged.
So for everyone that is participating in this.. Good Luck to you.
Oh one thing that I also do for exercise on days the weather is bad or good is this....
We will drive to town and go to Walmart or Fred Meyers (Krogers in the East) but I will get a grocery cart, start at the first isle...and push the cart down that isle....at a fairly fast pace and I will glance for HEAVY ITEMS...like 25 pounds of dog food, potting soil ANYTHING that has weight to it....I have even actually filled a cart up with canned goods Anything that will put lots of weight in the cart and then I will push that heavy cart up and down EACH ISLE at a fast walking pace as I can while pushing and on the second or third TRIP around the entire store...I will RETURN all of the items that I loaded into my cart back onto the shelves in the same neat way that I removed them. You would be surprised at how much work this is and you stay warm and dry in the process.
