January 31, 2011

I exercised today!  Not much; just 2 minutes on the elip.  machine and 5 on a rowing machine.  This is the third day and I have a few fears and self-doubts but am trying to maintain a positive mind.  I feel MEAN, ANGRY, and a little stupid for being in the position that I have to lose a lot of weight again.  Five or ten pounds I was able to deal with but this much again?  How did that happen?  Answer:  One pound at a time.    I must try to think smaller not in total.  My husband (and best pal in the world) is doing this with me.  We both want to be older, healther seniors.  Most folks our ages know 'aging ain't easy!' and being healthier will definately help.
