Went to strength and tone class today that Judy is teaching. Everyone else in the class is already skinny and fit and tone. I felt hugely out of place, quite literally. However, that will not deter me. Judy was very friendly and encouraging and glad to see me still. In fact, most people there will friendly and welcoming. Just makes me feel ( Read more... )

So I've noticed that all my posts are about me. Partially because I dislike talking about other people in public forums such as this. It is really no one else's business if a friend/co-worker/classmate/etc is going through something. *shrugs* Partially my posts are self-centered because, well it is my journal and I have the right to post and ( Read more... )

A friend of mine from the Catholic Student Association is going to be taking the shallow water fitness class with me! Extra motivation for me to go! I will have friends in both the fitness classes I am taking this semester ( Read more... )

So I have finally figured out my true motivation for attempting to get back in shape this time. The blood pressure and diabetes thing does concern me a little, but who am I kidding? There has always been that risk if I let myself go, which I did. So while that might get me off the couch once or twice, it ain't gonna do it for the long-term. ( Read more... )

Also second day of working out. Observations and thoughts thus far.

This eating healthy thing isn't so bad or so hard. Throughout the day, I paid no attention to how many calories I was eating, just trying to eat healthy foods in reasonable portions. I am completely full (stuffed almost) and have only around 1400 calories today. Over a year ago, the doctor said if I cut back to only consuming 1200-1300 calories ( Read more... )

So since my New Years Resolution this year included being healthier, I decided the best place to start that would to be to find out where I am at, what needs working on, etc. And while I can check superficial things on my own (weight, waistline, etc.) and they can give an indication of what needs working on, the best thing to do would be to get an ( Read more... )

Today was a lousy day at work. Several frustrating issues came to a head and I finally talked to my manager about some of it. I can't remember ever telling a manager I've worked for the issues I am having, especially when it involves other people. I hate going and pointing fingers and being like "this person never does her work, so I end up ( Read more... )

It has been a good year so far.
And I have decided it will stay that way, despite whatever may happen.
Good night, all.
