Mermaid encourages my walks by attacking my shoelaces. I'm glad this week was a little easier than last. My motivation came out of hiding. :)<br /><br />kittypolishnbags: Thanks! Walking is great exercise so you are on the right track. Making a schedule ahead of time helps me stay on target during those lazy days. You aren't alone. :)paintedladyfingershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03880592285187319081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020812154046578005.post-33352145936160164952011-11-12T16:10:13.628-05:002011-11-12T16:10:13.628-05:00Congrats on losing more girl!

I will admit I'm lazy too. :( I'm so happy for you and what you're doing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020812154046578005.post-17260161484074325272011-11-12T10:21:41.681-05:002011-11-12T10:21:41.681-05:00I'm proud of you!

Was Mermaid batting it around the house?! hehe) I also love the tale of the child who wanted to exercise because you were happy exercising :)BeautyJudyhttp://beautyjudy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020812154046578005.post-17883357295738987282011-11-08T23:36:57.860-05:002011-11-08T23:36:57.860-05:00I suppose I am the embodiment of the anti-colonic....I suppose I am the embodiment of the anti-colonic. <br />Exercise really does give you energy and so do raw fruits and vegetables coupled with balsamic vinegar and coconut oil as a dressing.<br />Keep on, keepin' on.

I bet when you are gaining weight, some of it is fluid retention. I'm sorry you weren't feeling well this week. I hope next week is better for you. xoxo!<br /><br />Akuma Kanji: Thanks! I seem to be able to find a partner one day a week, but for the rest of the time I am on my own for fitness. One of my goals for the next week is to be planning indoor activities for bad weather days. I have some exercise videos, weights and body bars. I need to wrangle it all in one place. <br /><br />I empathize with the difficulties of getting started. I wish I had made the decision to begin this column a few weeks earlier to detail some of the initial obstacles. I can say that it does get much easier after a few weeks of regular exercise. :)paintedladyfingershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03880592285187319081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020812154046578005.post-24986429638701970292011-11-06T16:05:04.564-05:002011-11-06T16:05:04.564-05:00Wow!

I should do the same but I only like to do that when I have company but usually no one wants to come along :( I know it's an health issue but I haven't been the better example for it. I'm always saying I will start tomorrow but I never do :( But I will gain the courage to start. It's just that Winter makes it a lot more difficult too :PAkuma Kanjihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03903255377606490875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020812154046578005.post-69665244280296879652011-11-06T00:40:26.255-04:002011-11-06T00:40:26.255-04:00You had a wonderful week!

That meant candy left over which I indulged in. Plus retaining fluid so I gained 7lbs. I'll lose it again. I've been going up and down. I still have a small bag of candy. The rest went to work with my girlfriend. The salt will really mess with my system. I'm salt sensitive. When you don't move the salt just doesn't get out of your body. I'm trying to drink more water but it's tough. When I have a week of bad pain I also eat my pain. Hopefully this coming week will be better.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15558100374295420131noreply@blogger.com
