I am so happy to hear from you. So...Dear 911 friend<br />I am so happy to hear from you. Sounds like life is presenting some frustrating obstacles. Starting back to work after a long summer is no easy task. Be patient with yourself as your routine and schedule takes shape. Most importantly, don't give up! Remember, everyday, even every hour is another wonderful opportunity to begin again. I do have a few suggestions that may help you stay on task with your diet and exercise program. Utilize the hallways, stairs, and sidewalks around your school and at home, a minimum of 10 minutes everyday. On less hectic days increase your walking time to 30 minutes. Get those new shoes soon! Make all your healthy snacks up on the weekend and put them into small containers for traveling. Take them to work and keep a few healthy snacks in the car. This will keep you from overeating later on. Keep a water bottle on your desk and in the car at all times. DRINK IT OFTEN!!! Please make your health and emotional well being a priority! I know you have many people depending on you. You must be feeling your best physically, mentally and emotionally to serve them all well. Women have a difficult time putting their needs before others...but, it is necessary. Please stay in touch each week.

I have lost about 3 pounds at this point. <br /><br />My work schedule has picked up and I'm not proud to admit that I'm not getting in a lot of excersice. I walked the Dequindre Cut with my friend again today. My goal is to get in a walk every day this weekend. <br /><br />I went to the chiropractor for my hip. It still gives me grief so I will start looking at new shoes. I am trying to not let work dominate my life but it wins more often than my plan for healthy living. <br /><br />But I will keep trying everything!

If your hip remains an issue you may want to check out a new pair of shoes. Another idea; try walking the stairs every other day until your hip feels better. Please get back into the pool at the YMCA a couple days a week. This will be very soothing on your joints as well as provide a great workout. The walking is awesome...keep it up! You must start the food journal if you truly desire weight loss! Please email it to me and we will get you on the road with a successful eating plan. Stay focused and strong!

My work schedule does change tomorrow. Therefore, Friday was my last water aerobics class ;( <br /><br />Now I am going to attempt to get some mileage out of my Y membership. I'm embarrassed to admit that I joined last summer and have only been there a couple of times to pick up class schedules. So my goal is to participate in their water aerobics class or some other fun activity at least once this week.<br /><br />Other activity--I have been catching the elevator to the floor below mine (not everyday but I have). I have walked the 14 stairs at least four times since my last post and feel good about this activity. I didn't realize that my door was so close to the stairs as opposed to the elevator! I am going to master the 14 then move on to 28 progressively (as you suggested).<br /><br />Today a dear friend would not accept my objections to joining her on a walk. Lately, the walking has been kind of painful in my hip area. In the past, a little weight loss typically remedies this situation. I hope so because today was painful. However I did make it 3 miles (according to my friend's calculations). She ran an extra mile while I caught my breath. It was a wonderful walk along the Dequindre Cut and some of the Riverwalk. I'm glad I did it!<br /><br />Now she's going to make me some diet shake concoction that works for her.<br /><br />I will read "workout weight gain" and start my journal today. I promise!<br /><br />Thank you again for the kind support.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4131029367083214879.post-20491490352824131362009-08-12T22:27:26.097-04:002009-08-12T22:27:26.097-04:00Way to go friend! We are so excited that you have ...Way to go friend! We are so excited that you have taken these very important steps toward lifestyle reform. I love that your water exercise teacher calls you by your proper name and expresses her interest in your participation. This shows that she really cares about her students. This will also motivate you to continue with the class.I can already feel your positive energy in your words. Fabulous! Remember, managing your dietary behavior is essential for weight loss success. It will not happen with exercise alone. Please read my latest article "workout weight gain" for more about this topic. One more thing, in regards to "blowing the day". Every hour, even every minute of your day is another opportunity to begin again. Take a few deep breaths, regroup, and start over! Do not EVER give up .You are a wonderful woman, deserving of a wonderful life. Keep up the positive energy...there is so much more to come! Start journaling today! Let me know if you would like us to design a diet and nutrition plan for you.We are here for you!

Tha...It's me "lifestyle reform 911". Thank you so much for the support! Writing you has inspired me to participate in the water aerobics class (even before reading your response). Just reading my own words in print made we think about how I should be taking advantage of that class. So, for the last three weeks I have been participating in the class. I have averaged attending two out of the three classes a week. The class has a very good teacher who calls me by name and asks if she will see me again next class. <br /><br />I have picked up a water aerobics schedule from the nearby YMCA. They appear to offer classes twice a week. <br /><br />Admittedly my eating is still not very healthy. I am going to start journaling today. Maybe tomorrow (already blew today). Perhaps seeing it in black and white will force a change like the water aerobics did.<br /><br />Thank you for the advice about the stairs. I will start with one flight today.<br /><br />Thank you anonymous for your support as well.<br /><br />Thanks AskInYourFace......I will keep you posted about my progress.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4131029367083214879.post-32948186243685447062009-08-03T11:58:56.894-04:002009-08-03T11:58:56.894-04:00You CAN do this!!please keep us up to date on your...You CAN do this!!please keep us up to date on your progress.
