I'm Doing This For Me, Because I'm Worth It

[CraftyCath]

Oh Dear, I really pigged out over Christmas ans I KNOW I put weight on! I'll join in again KP and only eat the healthy stuff with the occasional treat. I did have a VERY good Christmas though and partied hard with good friends on New Years Day!

I have made a start, yesterday went well, I ate healthily and didn't have any alcohol :tup:. Today is going well and best of all I can start walking Max again, so I can build up walking again.

I put the makings for healthy food into the suitcase for L & my trip to the grandparents! I started out well yesterday, but then ate out :-( Didn't clean the plate tho!

Eating out is allowed. I think the secret is not to feel deprived, everything in moderation :tup:

Way to go KP!!! One of my resolutions is to walk every day. So, inadvertently I have joined you as well.

I lost 10 lbs this past summer just walking and cutting out ice cream, which I love. I've put a few lbs back on over the holidays, but now I'm ready to lose them again and maybe a few more.

I agree with you in terms of taking it slow and working your way to a fit and healthy self. I hope only success for you, KP, and anyone else vowing to be healthier.

Hi KP,

I've been threatening to do what you're doing for a while now, lol.

The best of luck in shedding those pounds, it's a good challenge and one that I lack in self discipline over. I still tend to comfort eat in order to run away from the bad feelings, and comfort eating with carrot sticks rather than a packet a crisps just doesn't seem to work.....lol.

I've ordered myself a treadmill, because although I'm in recovery, I still have probs in being around people, so the gym isn't a choice for me at the mo.

I like what Anni has written too, * 'buy a set of even one pound weights to carry when walking or even have habitually around the house.' * I walk my dog a lot so I'll buy some of these pound weght and strap them to my wobbly bits.

Thanks for posting up, I've enjoyed readng all the comments and good luck to you!

When I first started working out two years ago, I hated burpees and completely sucked at them. Now, they still are not my favorite, however, they are easier to do and I love the results they give.

When I started this thread, I did it because if I wrote it down in a public place, I would find it harder to back down. I didn't start it to be inspirational or cr*p like that. It was just me and my struggle with the two 'Fs', Fitness and Fatness (not sure that is a word, but it is now:D).

I'd love it if others would like to share, what they are doing and how they are doing it. We can inspire one another, because as the title says, WE ARE WORTH IT :tup:.

[Eleanor]

We ARE worth it. And I did my ab exercises. For the record.:p

Oh dear, I've been failing again :poop::notworthy::speechless:.

BUT, ta-daa, today is a new day and a new start.

KP, you go girl!:D

I've been a bad lass. I've been eating apple scones and biscuits etc. I need more exercise as I have definitely put on weight over Christmas. Hubby has a 12 mile walk around the Wirral planned for next week so onwards and upwards.
