I’ve got a new attitude
Wow, thanks for the tremendous response to my last entry. Seems like plantar fascitis is pretty common out there.
I have calmed down a bit from yesterday, I guess I tend to be a bit of a drama queen. Anyway, I looked up the calories burned on an exercise bike and realized that it’s actually more than walking! This could be a blessing in disguise. I called the gym that I plan to join and I’m going to go tomorrow at 11:00 to get the orientation. For today, I’m going to do upper body weights and pilates to keep myself on track. I figure tomorrow when they’re giving me the tour/info I can ask for other activities that I can do. Hopefully they have a rowing machine b/c my doctor said I could do that, too.
On a good note, I tempted fate and got on the scale this morning and it read 255.5!!!! My goal for next Sunday was 255 so I need to keep charging ahead. I’m not going to let this derail me. My biggest struggle for today is going to be going out with my friend for breakfast. It’s the same one I was going to go out w/ 2 weeks ago but it didn’t work out, so today will be my first real test. I know they have fresh fruit on the menu so I plan to eat my normal breakfast here and then order fruit and water there. Won’t the waitress love me!! I’ll update later after exercise and my breakfast date.
PS–Did anyone watch Oprah yesterday? I caught the last little bit and Dr. Oz was on there. He mentioned that if you double the amount of sex you’re currently having that you can add 3 years to your life. I told my hubby that if we aren’t careful that we’re going to die tomorrow :)
5:30
I did my lifting for my arms and a 30 minute Pilates workout. I also went out with my friend for breakfast and think I did ok. I had 1/2 my normal breakfast and then ordered an omelet w/egg beaters, onions, green peppers, celery and tomatoes plus some fruit. Then my son and I went to the pool and ran some errands so I have been doing good on the food front. Tomorrow I’m going to mow the lawn in the morning if it isn’t raining and then later I’m going to officially join the gym.
Progress toward workout goal: 18/250
Thank you so much!! I really needed something to keep me going. Thank you for being there for a teammate in need!! I am going to start again as of this morning.
Hope your day is wonderful!! Have a great breakfast.
LOL you’re crazy!
SUPER DUPER CONGRATS on the weigh-in. Keep it up!

You made me laugh with that line about you and your husband going to die tomorrow! It looks like you are doing really well, great job!
Oh ya gave me a great belly laugh with that hubby/sex comment! Best of all is that most awesome sneak a peek weigh in you had! You are on a losing streak so take advantage of it and get what you can out of it. Don’t fetch up now, keep going! Congrats girl, you deserve it! YAY WHOOPIE!
You are doing awesomely, keep up the great work!
BTW, that hubbie comment had me rolling too.
Congrats on the weight loss!! Sorry to hear about your plantar facitis. I’m sure you’ll find plenty of activities that can be done at the gym.
Plantar fasciitis… been there, done that, got the boot! Haha, get it, the boot? Follow your doc’s directions and I’ll bet you’ll be fine. Did the doc give you any PT exercises or the tennis ball or golf ball stretching exercise for first thing when you wake up? If you need to know what that is, let me know. It works GREAT.
Whoo hoo for the weigh-in! That’s fabulous! It sounds like you have a good plan for working around the plantar fascitis. It’s a shame you don’t like swimming, it really is excellent cross training for running. And if it is more that you don’t feel like you are a “good” swimmer, well, that’s just a challenge to become a BETTER swimmer, and who doesn’t love a challenge?
glad to hear about your new attitude - a good positive attitude will take you far. my hubby said we needed to work on extending our lives at this very moment - he wishes
keep up the great work
