Topic : Ways to Exercise in the House

Doing a Kuninich walk this afternoon ... hopefully it won't last very long!  Mom volunteered us and now she's regretting it.  She wants to  go to the garage sale over on  the SW side of town. 

I was able to do over an hour of cardio last night .... and I'm just so happy I can last this long now. It's taken me a long time to get here.

Wish me luck with the walk .. it's going to be another hot day ... and I'm wearing a Tshirt!

I walked the dogs and worked an hour in the yard today. 

I practiced "hunger scale" and I can readily name my hunger levels .. each time I practice this I become more at ease with my hunger.  I know at what level I need to eat and why.  I came up with a time schedule and I'm sticking more or less to around those times.  It's important for me to keep my blood sugar levels steady. 

I walked the dogs and then worked in the yard for 30 minutes. Boy am I sore from yesterday.  However, my yard is starting to look really good now.  I'll get back to yardwork on Sunday.

The hunger scale exercise really helped me last week.  Now, I'm going to focus on doing the "craving" exercise.  May take me a couple of weeks (like the hunger one) to finally see some AHAs occuring.

I walked the dogs this morning, went shopping and will be going to swimming practice at 1 p.m.  I want to practice the dolphin kick so I can do the butterfly for 15 yards.  If I can do it, then I'm moving into Level 5 in the fall!  :)

I was not able to walk the dogs this morning or work in my yard as I wanted .. I took my mom to the doctor's and sat out in my car for 1 hour and 15 minutes .. I was upset and angry .. I knew better .. I wrote me a note for the next time .. that way I'll just go home and she can call me to pick her up!

I spent the time in the car reading Judith's WEEK 4 and the chapter's I hadn't read were exactly what I needed to read.  I began to doubt my ability to lose weight finally which lead me to feeling disappointment and feelings of being overwhelmed.  Now I understand what's happening so I'm going to step up and do differently now.  I feel better knowing that what I'm feeling is normal and she's given me tools to help me work thru what I'm feeling.

Walked the dogs this morning, no exercise yesterday at all .. so it was my day of rest.

I'm slowly opening myself up to doing the craving exercise (week 2 exercise - I'm on week 4 reading).  I'm developing a discomfort scale ... it's kinda hard ...  so I'm writing down all the things that make me angry or upset.  I guess I can go with that until I work out what it is she wants me to do.

Hi I am new to this forum. I am twenty years old. I have put on a lot of weight because of two back surgeries I had a couple of months ago. Its hard for me to exercise because of the fact that I have severe scoliosis, severe degenerative discs disease, and fibromyalgia. I use to weigh 180 before the surgeries but now I weigh 200. Looking to eventually weigh 160-170. I eat all the right foods. I dont eat junk food and I only eat once a day but cant seem to lose the weight. If any one can give me some pointers on how to lose weight that would be great. My email is angelicspiritwolf@hotmail.com

I have walked the dogs and I'm going to mow my grass in a few minutes .. then it's off to do some shopping. Have to buy pop for the center, bread for me, some veggies for my salad & scrambled eggs, and dog/cat food.

I'm working on a DISCOMFORT scale .. and it's not an easy thing for me to do.  I finally said .. when I turn to junk food or want junk food .. write down the events leading up to it and, of course, those things that make me angry or upset.  That's a good place to start don't you think?

Today as I walked the 1 mile race, I reailized that a goal I had set for myself back in 04 was to do a 1/2 marathon .. I was amazed I had that memory popped up and I completed the race!  I was 7-8 in .. there were only about 20 of us.

Today I walked the dogs, yesterday, I did the Stampede 1 mile race ...  I was going to work in the yard and I'm not able to .. I'm really emotionally drained and I'm regrouping even as I write this. 

It's week 12 of my 12-week summer focus .. finally it's over and it feels good and yet, sad ... I really did think I was going to master so many new behaviors / life patterns .. however, I still have a ways to go.  I'm back to learning about "cognitive therapy" .. I want to really explore it again .. I've done SELF MATTERS and it really helped me .. however, I need different ... Judith Beck's book THE BECK DIET SOLUTION is showing me new perspectives ... many of the things I'm reading now are in Weight Loss Solutions .. just written / said differently.

Now that my focus period is over with, I'm able to just let it go and move on ... I'm giving myself a couple of weeks off from weight loss .. I'm going to explore different areas in my life ... see how well, I'm doing.
