Good morning all! Sorry you're under the weather Snap. Hope you're back is feeling better soon. :hug:

Well we all saw how my ticker wasn't really going anywhere, so I'm going to delete it. I went back to the gym on Friday. Friday, Saturday and Sunday and I signed up for personal training sessions twice a week. It's expensive but I can't keep screwing around. I'm 44, 5'5" and 235 lbs. If I don't get this under control I'm going to wind up in a pine box. :sick: I'm signed up for 12 weeks' worth of personal training, 2x a week. Of course I'm going to have to work out other days as well, but I figured if someone is kicking my butt maybe it will help. So please keep me in your prayers that this time this new lifestyle sticks and I actually make some progress.

First of all, you look at least 90 pounds lighter than that, no kidding! Just be careful, I'm sitting here in pain and it's from trying to exercise - I'm sure you will be fine since you will have supervision. You sound very motivated so I think you will do great :cheer2::cheer2:

Thanks Snap. I'm always a good starter. It's keeping motivated that's my issue. The slightest bump and I'm off track. That's why I thought this might be a good idea. I don't break appointments so I'll feel obligated to go because he'll be waiting. As for hurting, um yep! Over did it yesterday. 1-1/2 hours of cardio at the gym, then went home and cleaned the house and did laundry. I'm on the second floor, laundry room is in the basement. Tonight (hopefully) I go for my first meeting. They'll tell me how old my body really is. :rotfl: I told him at least 112. They'll give me all kinds of tests, etc. and then set a workout schedule from that. I can do the exercise, it's the bad eating habits that will be an issue. I'd like to drop 10 lbs by the begining of July. That would be a reasonable first goal I think. Just hope I don't pick up any further injuries along the way. Right now I'm working with sciatica, knee pain and foot pain. Great starting point. :rolleyes:

You sound like me and Paul. It's so hard to keep pushing through the pain; but maybe it will actually improve from the exercise. :cool1:
 
Sorry about the back, Snap. :hug: I hope you feel better soon.

PK, good luck! I know you can do it. DH wants to loose some weight, too, but can't seem to loose any. He's been getting pretty frustrated.

Keep little R in your thoughts tomorrow, please. She will be going in for dental surgery. Her top 4 front teeth look bad and are getting crowned (white not silver, no grill for her!). She doesn't eat much, but she's quite the juice drinker. The juice isn't great for her enamel. :guilty:

Aw, poor R. And poor Mom. :sad1: I'll be sending prayers, pixie dust, good vibes and anything else I can think of. Oh and :hug: Please update us when you get a chance.

That's what I'm hoping for. I figure the weight is causing most of the issues. Maybe if I lose the weight the pains will go with it.

Snap, sorry about the back. I did mine about a month ago. I was sitting at work on a heating pad groaning every time I moved. It's hell to get old.

PK, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. I know it's hard. I have a dear friend, probably your age, who recently underwent a quadruple bypass. She eats poorly and never excercises. Good for you for trying to do something about it before you reach that point. I have always struggled and I loathe anything even remotely connected with excercise but I try to force myself. I figure I've got enough problems without adding heart disease to the list.

I know you can do it. :banana:
 
Thanks for your good wishes Pakey. We've all been friends long enough on this thread (and a few others) to know I've done this before. I just have to keep trying no matter how many times it takes. I don't know if any of you bowl, but I equate my exercise routine with bowling. I'm a great starter (first ball) but horrible at follow-up (second ball). Now I'm paying someone to kick my butt. Just hope I haven't bit off more than I can chew.

And I seem to recall someone who used to take long walks and repave an entire walkway. :rolleyes1 You seem to get plenty of exercise when health issues aren't interferring. BTW, how are you? And mom and dad? Hope you don't mind me asking. Don't mean to pry.
 
PK, be sure to keep us up to date. I still have some extra baby weight to lose and could use some inspiration.
