CONGRATS!!!!Beekissed said:I am also attempting to lose weight after a long time of neglecting my body. I've got you all topped in the weight department and I'm not using any specific structured diet. Believe it or not, I've never actually been on a real, intentional diet in my life.
For now, I'm concentrating on just getting fit and refocusing my emotional triggers and letting God guide me and help me. I started near the Nov. 1st, give or take a day, and have lost 19 lbs. so far but I've not really tried yet. Just keeping busy, eating more frequent but smaller meals, hydrating well and started to walk 2-3 times a week since the first week of Dec.
I hope to kick it into higher gear after the holidays(though ate like a pig for Christmas and still lost 2 lbs!) and get more toning exercise into my daily routine by walking and training the dog, hiking the woods and hills a little and just working at outdoor chores.
I can't contribute my weight loss to anything that I have done on my own, really....I believe God is helping me and for a particular purpose. He is really curbing my appetite, has provided a way for me to escape increased stress from outside sources and is also providing me with a worthy work project to keep me busy and productive.
All Glory and praise go to the good Lord and not to my efforts, that's for sure and certain!
I would like to join you all and encourage all who are going down this tough path!!!
keep up the good work.I am glad you are joining us too!
I need to get to the exercising part too, but that is a challenge in itself since it is winter time and I have to do things with the kids in tow. I could start walking up and down the road, but I'll have to see how that works with the oldest 2 boys along, and it will be hard to do on cold days. I will think of something I am sure.
I'll never be a red hot mama but I'd sure like to be a mama that can bend over and tie her shoes without getting red hot in the face!
