Nice article, Helen!!
I joined the local Y today. I checked out a few places here and it was the most reasonable for price and what my daughter, who is almost 11, can also do there. I had to have a place she can go as well since it's just the 2 of us now.
We both have orientation appointments this week, so we will for sure be there at least 3 days! haha.
I'm really excited, actually. I know how much better I feel when I exercise and even tho it's going to be hard since I work full-time (well, more than full time, really) I'm going to figure it out and make it a part of life! I've been off the band wagon mostly for about 6 weeks and I can tell already. I'm ready to feel good again!!!!

My mom clued me in to a website: americaonthemove.org Once you sign up you log your steps or exercise time and try to complete challenges. I'm just starting the equivalent of the Iditarod. Wish me luck!

Hey you guys!
Glad you are getting back on the "wagon" Tammy. You will feel so much better once you find your routine. It's hard to make a move and try to get settled. It will be hard in the beginning, but after a couple of weeks you will fee like your "old" exercising self again.
Thanks for the link, Thimbleluvr. I don't think people realize the value of just MOVING every day. We get so caught up in what we do (or don't do) in the gym that sometimes we fail to realize that just incorporating activities into "real" life will give us a far larger gains.
Take care, girls. Keep me posted. I worked out my upper body just now - haven't done it properly in awhile - they are shaking. :-)

I had my first really good, full workout yesterday, finally! I'd done a little during the past week, but we had a lot of orientation things for my daughter to attend at the gym, so it wasn't the same.
I ran and did some weights and I can feel it today!! :) I actually like feeling a little sore, it reminds me that I've used muscles that hadn't been doing much and it kind of makes me feel 'alive'. It also reminds me to watch what I put into my mouth. haha. Is that odd? haha.
Have a great week everyone. My goal is 5 workouts, which might be hard because I'm going out of town next weekend, but going to do my best!

OK, I have worked out a minimum of an hour a day for 5 of the last 6 days! Feels great and I'm down a couple of pounds! :)

I've found if I walk the kids to and from school I get an automatic 2 mile walk in! Pushing the stroller ought to count for something in there, too.

Unfortunately the kids are out of school today so I haven't been out walking. But, I've been up and down the stairs all day and unpacked 7 boxes.

Great job Anne! I discovered yesterday that I'm only 6 pounds from my goal weight. Woo hoo! That alone is almost enough motivation to get moving today!

My goal is to lose 12 lbs in the next 6 weeks (before I go to Galveston for Memorial weekend...BEACH!)
I spent 45 min on the treadmill today and did weights as well. Time to energize for summer!!! :)

I've found I really struggle when the kids are home from school on weekends. Yesterday they had a teacher work day (why they need it three weeks before school is out is beyond me!) and I had a terrible time incorporating movement into my day. Their whining wears me out!

I've started walking 30 min every day at work with a co-worker! It's a great break from my desk, and if I do nothing else exercise wise in a day, at least I've done SOMETHING! Good motivation having a partner too. :)

I haven't been reporting in as regularly as I should... I did get an hour in on the treadclimber in .. goal is to do that daily for all weekdays this week! :) I felt wonderful.. after the shower of course, not during the exercise, but I know it will come back :)
