NanceXToo Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 about weight issues... ...Even though it was nearly 8 PM and even though I was tired, I decided to go do something proactive, and I popped in one of my "Walk Away The Pounds" DVD's and I went ahead and did it just a little while ago. Yay me! I would like to challenge/encourage each of you who are trying to do something about your weight to go and do something proactive RIGHT NOW, right after you read this! And then come back and post about it and let us know what it was, so we can all give each other a little pat on the back. I don't care if it's a 30 minute exercise DVD, a walk around the block, 20 sit ups or jumping jacks... ...just go do SOMETHING. I promise, it will feel good! And then come share :) P.S. Go already!! I meant NOW! :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueridge Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I'm working up gradually to prepare for our school routine. Each day I add a little something else to my day. So, since Monday, I have done my Wii Fit stepping every morning BEFORE checking the boards. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgiana Daniels Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Walked 1.5 miles (round-trip) to the store to buy milk rather than hopping into the van. Every little bit adds up--please say yes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1bassoon Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Weeded the garden and trimmed hedges in 90 degree heat. . .. . I must have lost 2 lbs. in sweat alone! (Thanks for the encouragement. Now off to bed - so I can do my walk in the morning!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanceXToo Posted August 27, 2010 Author Share Posted August 27, 2010 That's great, Heather! Yes off to bed for me, too. Nearly midnight here. I'll post again tomorrow after I've made myself do some exercise then. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twigs Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 :hurray::hurray::hurray: to everyone of you!!! For myself, my total steps for today are 15,608 (6.4 miles). I walked around the mall twice + an outdoor walk + some shopping. Also, remember I'm single - no dogs, no kids, no husband that I have to give time to, and I work only 3 (12 hour) days a week. Let's all keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crissy Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I KNEW I should have waited until tomorrow to read this thread! I just finished my work, ate half a Hershey bar and now I'm headed for a shower and my comfy bed. I promise I'll do better tomorrow! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Denise and Crissy, just post on this thread tomorrow and we promise not to look at the dates at the top;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I KNEW I should have waited until tomorrow to read this thread! I just finished my work, ate half a Hershey bar and now I'm headed for a shower and my comfy bed. I promise I'll do better tomorrow! :) LOL well at least it was just HALF a Hershey bar! Like Jean said, post sometime today instead :D I didn't do this last night but I did walk 30 min yesterday. I am planning to again today. That's good! It feels good to be doing something proactive again even though I'm disappointed that I'm basically starting all over again!

Carrie12345 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I spent 5 minutes looking at previews for XBox's upcoming fitness programs. Cut me some slack - I'm pregnant and cranky. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denisemomof4 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 :hurray::hurray::hurray: to everyone of you!!! why thank you. Denise and Crissy, just post on this thread tomorrow and we promise not to look at the dates at the top;) I need coffee. I laid in bed until 9:15. NO workers in the home today, NO schooling yet. I have one week to go. But, I did find my purple wrap for my horses leg (never used it) and will try to wrap my leg and an aircast/splint thingie so I can slowly start to walk again while giving extra support to my ankle. I'm talking slowly. Bone bruises take FOREVER to heal and I twisted my ankle again, in my full aircast, in DC. But I can't take sitting anymore! My dr. gave me vicodin and I'm tempted to use it for my sore rear end. Forget the foot and ankle! Dh bought me some handbells. (is that what they're called? That doesn't sound right. Weights?) I need to start to tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donna A. Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Just now seeing this thread.... Dh has taken the two younger girls fishing, so I just called out to my 14yo to come take a walk with me. Here we go! :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanceXToo Posted August 27, 2010 Author Share Posted August 27, 2010 Denise, Ouch, sorry to hear you are going through that! Donna, Good for you! I hope you enjoy your walk! The kids and I went on a field trip today that involved quite a bit of walking as we toured an old mining village, so I'm counting that as today's exercise!
