The Word of the Week--EXERCISE!

Boy this image says it all. March is here and that means spring is on it's way. Maybe that means I should have more spring in my step.
For the past two weeks, I have stayed the same at the scales. That should be an accomplishment, and it is not a gain but really, it is not an accomplishment.
I have been being lazy, I haven't been very disciplined in my eating habits, and only exercising four times in February, well that is not what I need to be doing.
Since I have started exercising, I need to keep it up. I am noticing that I have more energy and that I can do more than I was able to do before. Well, the first of March I went to the gym and I went on the 2nd as well. Last night I had prior commitments but I did walk for 15 minutes and then today, I got more exercise in for an hour by working at the front desk at the library, I plan on going to the gym tonight and hopefully will get in a little time the rest of this week.
I am back on track, I am once again motivated. We have our officer elections in a couple weeks and I would really like to be the leader for the next year. I think that I need this to be a positive role model for the other group members but it also means I will have to try harder.
With that in mind, let's take a minute to mention Girl Scout Cookies. Oh, they are so good, and I got mine yesterday and am happy to say that they are in the freezer untouched. I am thinking that possibly tonight I will be able to split them into manageable portion sizes and then I will be able to enjoy them. Small steps, that is how I am getting through this.
So, hopefully weigh in will be a good one next week, I stayed the same again so I am still at a forty pound weight loss.
Well, my dear friends and supporters another week has passed so until next week, I hope to lose nothing but weight and gain nothing but knowledge.

This is interesting this week. The biggest change I can see here is the cookie thing. I am so proud of you for putting them in the freezer until you are in a mind set to handle them. I know for me, out of sight is out of mind. You have come so far since October and I am anxious to see the outcome. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK. You have inspired me to exercise and I started today! Thanks, Sharon

Now that the weather is getting better, you should really take advantage of walking as much as you can. Find a 5k race to work up to. You will be very proud of your accomplishment. Keep it up!
