I will work on my self-talk today to see if thinking more positive about myself helps my day.

I push myself a lot with the excercise, because I start work Weds. and I will be gone from 6:30 to 4:30, so my time to excercise is short.

Oh ok I understand the exercise thing. Am I the only one that absolutely hates to move your body? AAAAH! I am gonna do it but you can't (or as we say in Texas---cain't) make me like it!

I've read that you should walk 10,000 steps a day and that will help lose weight. Ahhh---do I? NO!!! Actually, it is so hot here that I haven't started walking yet. Our neighborhood is great for walking because it's hilly but not when it's over 100.

Missy: I hate to move. My idea of exercise is sitting in my rocking chair holding one of my grandkids. I don't like to breathe hard or get that nasty taste in my throat. I would rather sit and sew than stand and cook. Moving around is painful. I know I need to change my attitude, so I will start small tomorrow.
Terryl: I am very sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I don't like it when people misspell my name either.

Did you watch Oprah today? It was about all these people that lose massive amounts of weight without surgery. I was sooo jealous and thinking mean thoughts. I want to lose weight so badly and am even sacrificing dinner with my family tonight so I can eat the healthy thing. My mom is sad (she has not said a word though) when she looks at me. I can just read her face. My sister is here and she weighs 230 but she is over 6 feet tall. She looks great. Here I am in my size 38 shorts and 6x shirt. UGH.
I am not going to keep feeling sorry for myself. I am going to just order my unwich and smile as I eat it with my family (they are having fried potatoes and smoke sausage and other greasy foods).
I will go to the pool in the morning and get my exercise in and see how things go.
I have not stepped on my new scale that goes to 440 pounds yet. So, I do not know if I lost those 7 pounds I gained while I was in Texas.
I am hoping with all my might I am in the 420s. That would be such a good thing.
So, we will see. Sorry about the blather of self-loathing. It is back to your regularly scheduled program.

You must be in S. CA. I'm in the Palm Springs area, and it is suppose to be 115 by Sat.
I have been going early in the morning and around 6:15 in the evening. I walk in the am because it is still somewhat cool. But I ride the bike in the evening as it is easier to keep cool riding than walking. I generally wrap a wet cloth around my neck and take water.
Missy, excercise in the water is very beneficial. I burns a lot of calories and it is easy on the joints. When there is someone here besides me, I will work out in the pool. I generally tread water for 30 minutes. I don't like to swim alone, so it's mainly on the weekend.
