I have to share what I have decided to do~along with the Weight Watchers, I have signed up to train for a 10K walk on April 5th! I had my first training today and walked the 1 mile and have homework for this week! I looked on line and the Millenium has an exercise room with treadmills, so there is no excuse to not get the homework in!
I am pretty excited about this. I have struggled my whole adult life with my weight and am just now figuring out, at 41 years old, that I have to take the time to be better to myself. I deserve it and I will do it! I know the weight loss will happen now, but my biggest goal is to be healthy~I want to live a long life so that I can see my children accomplish all that they dream! My MIL died 2 years ago at the age of 62-really hit home that we never know when our time is up and I better do all in my power to not hurry things along!
My neighbor is my trainer and another neighbor is doing it with me, so I have folks helping to keep me on task. I have called everyone to tell them I am doing this so that there is no backing out now!

As for my business, I am taking the same attitude-no one can change things but me-no more excuses...I am just sick of them!
I'll keep you all posted on the training progress, but if you would all just keep me in your prayers...the internal change is to be the most important one for me!

Thanks!

Good for you!! We'll all be here cheering you on!! http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/happy105.gif (http://www.freesmileys.org)

I intend to lose weight, get in better shape and increase my business this year too but I haven't formulated a detailed plan yet and have done nothing toward those goals at all.:o I NEED MOTIVATION! (yes I am yelling - so I hear)

I love the cheerleaders, Beth~thanks!

I like the structure that this training is going to provide. It is going to take time, but I have to just schedule it into my day, just like I am now scheduling office hours! Amazing that it has taken me this long to "get it" but there is no stopping me now!

You can do anything you set your mind, you know that! Yell at your mind a little more and get going!

Congratualtions Meg!! I turn 40 in March myself.... Age is just a number. I have signed up to do the Camp Pendleton Mud Run. It's a 10K obsticle course in June, so I have to start training soon too. I will start with walking because right now I can't walk uphill a block to where I work!
