I hit the 30 mark!

Brian gave me an exercise bike for Christmas. I have had to use it a little at a time... literally starting out at just FIVE minutes at a time. Otherwise I end up hurting because I have so many muscular problems.

Last night I did it for 35 minutes and that was doing a mountain type of program (up and down hills).

35 minutes may not seem like much to anybody else... but look it is already 6 months into the year and that is how long it took me to get here!

I consider it an accomplishment! Woo hoooooo!

Next goal to reach will be to do an hour. Hopefully it won't take me another 6 months to get there.

My pain doc wants me to start physical therapy which I will do after I get back from Vermont.

Woo hoo It's WORKING!

I have been eating healthier, exercising a wee bit more, following the program of this book "The Sugar Addict's Total Recovery Program" --- and I don't know how much weight I have lost because I won't step on the scale, but I HAVE gone down a whole size in my jeans!

I know that it is showing up some because a LOT of people have said, "You're losing weight! I can tell!"

I have a looooooooooooooong way to go, but at least I am on the way! And it's been pretty much painless. I still eat sugar, but I don't really WANT sweets that much anymore and I am enjoying salads and veggies. I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD EVER SAY THAT!!!!

ARGGGGGHHHHH

I have got to lose weight. I have no willpower. But I try to avoid the bad stuff if possible.

My friend gave me a huge bag full of all different kinds of WHITE CHOCOLATE candy bars. (my favorites!) I'm talking TONS of it. Like a dozen huge bars, and bags of stuff, and let's just say a good 20 pounds worth -- not how much the candy weighs, but how much weight I'm going to gain when I eat it!!!

I appreciate the thought so much. She knows it is my favorite. But can we say "diet sabotage?" To the nth degree???

And I'm OFF!

My exercise bike has arrived and Bri will be bringing it by tonight and putting it together for me. I can hardly wait to start EXERCISING on it.

This week at work has been BUSY! I had 3 weeks off in December and just did 3 weeks worth of work in one. Whew!

Nothing else going on really. My life has become booooooooring right? No more A equals no more excitement.

Well, that's fine with me!
