Kimberly

I’m Baaaaaaaack!

Yeah, I fell off in mid-August…lots of drama in my life then, but I’ve been walking consistently every day for 2+ miles. I’ve even thrown in some short bursts of running…and haven’t had to call 911 yet!

Anybody wanting a good buddy and/or to have me on their team, I’d love to apply!

Happy Sunday…may ya’ll have a GREAT week! 

WANTED:  Words of encouragement.  Words to get me motivated.  Perhaps a firm kick in the butt - lol.  My high school basketball coach always said, “In order to get to the top, you’ve got to get off your bottom!”  Well, ladies & gents, I could really use your help.  I’ve been slacking. I’ve been depressed.  I’ve been coming up with every excuse known to man.  WHY IS LOSING WEIGHT SO HARD?!?!?!?  Granted, I didn’t gain it overnight - so it won’t come off overnight. (sigh)

Just bought some new DVDs….Leslie Sansone’s, “Walk Away the Pounds” in 1, 2, and 3 mile increments. Also have a couple of Windsor Pilates DVDs staring at me.  They are all unopened.  What the crap is wrong with me?!!!  UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just read a really good blog about a digital scale “being a tease”. I commented back that I can totally relate to that (although, I’m pretty sure that my scale is the spawn of Satan - lol). You can step on the thing, see a number, step on it again, see another number, etc. Okay, let me admit, I think I’ve formed a type of OCD with the scale. I’ve been weighing myself too much & it’s effected my entire day. NO MORE! I put the scales in the bathroom closet & will have ONE weekly weigh-in. (Hold me to that, will ya?)

I’m gonna’ back up and admit something else. Two weeks ago I weighed 208 at the doctor’s office. I almost cried right then & there.  SO, I actually lost 4 pounds before I joined BuddySlim…so, yeah, I’m pleased with that. Why am I coming clean? Hmmm….guilt, I suppose. I read the blogs on here & they are so brutally honest. I owe you all the same in return.

On Day 1, I walked for 30 minutes.  WOOHOO!

Since yesterday (Day 2), I’ve been absolutely miserable! I have a UTI from H-E-L-L.  The doc finally called me in an antibiotic today & I’m beginning to feel somewhat better. I’m drinking tons of water and I plan to get on the Gazelle in a little while. I’ve made good food choices today, too.  Did I mention that I’m PMSing (lol)…craving chocolate like you wouldn’t believe…but, Kimberly, you can’t have any!

Ahhh…enough of my novel. I hope ya’ll are making wise choices & exercising.  Thanks so much for the messages & comments. Ya’ll are the best! 

Day 1 of my lifestyle change journey.  I weigh more than I’ve ever weighed in my life (excluding when I was pregnant). I’m very unhappy with my weight and I have GOT to do something about it.  Heart disease is very significant in my family. I have 2 kids & a wonderful hubby of almost 16 years. I have everything to live for! So, step #1…gonna’ get off my butt and DO SOMETHING about this problem that I have.  I need help…I need a buddy or several of them. I need accountability.  I’ve read that a “support system” is a key to weight loss.  Okay, lifestyle buddy…holler at me! Let’s motivate each other. Let’s share in every single victory (no matter how small) and let’s comfort each other when we ate something that we really shouldn’t have. I promise to support you 100%.  I won’t let you down. Will you do the same? If so, holler at me & we’ll do this together.
