Daily exercise thread

[wakemeupwhenitsover]

I finally did it. DH & I walked 2 miles this morning & we're going to walk 2 miles this evening. Went to the Farmers Market & loaded up on veggies & fruits. We also bought wraps for sandwiches.

Both of us have porked up nicely in the last 6 months & just can't seem to get motivated together. One is ready, the other isn't. Today, we finally seemed to come together.

Motivation & a goal to shoot for is my only hope. I can't get into anything but sweats & one pair of shorts but I have to choose between sitting or breathing.

Also, I have to exercise. Dieting alone just doesn't cut it anymore. I think all those starvation diets I went on when I was younger just screwed up my metabolism. Now when I cut back on calories, my metabolism just slows to a crawl. But if I exercise I can eat the same amount & still lose weight. Plus, muscle is heavier than fat, but takes up less space, so I look thinner even if I weight the same.

Wish me luck that DH & I can get & stay on the same page.

1. that's awesome!

Hubby and I need to start walking too. Maybe real late at night when it's cooler. We both work til almost midnight so it's not too bad then.

good luck and stay motivated!

2. Once we start walking

we're both just so much more careful about what we eat. It's weird, but the exercise part just helps kick the healthful eating part, at least for us.

I haven't posted since this thread started because I wasn't doing anything at all. I was eating all the wrong stuff, not walking, nothing. I just had nothing to contribute. If someone started a thread about their good diet day, what was I gonna say? I just ate a pack of M & M's? That would be sooo helpful, NOT!

But now we're really going to try to do it.

3. Did another 2 miles this

evening. I'm gonna dislocate my shoulder patting myself on the back.
DH is going fishing tomorrow, but we're making plans for him to call when he gets back to the dock. I'm going to hold him to it.
