I did not fit into anything at all and would only wear black. I decided that now that I have been given the okay I am going back to the gym. I joined a woman's only gym that is so nice to go to and for those days that I am travelling I got the Weightloss Coach for my Nintendo DS. So when I say I feel your pain I do. One day at a time, just one day at a time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554164106739610757.post-41354445032361821202008-08-07T07:35:00.000-07:002008-08-07T07:35:00.000-07:00I just started a fitness program today so I'll...I just started a fitness program today so I'll be stopping back by to make sure you stick with it.<BR/><BR/>ps...ready your "real life fairy tale" mine is similar although we are the Midwest brady bunch. 7 kids 21, two 18, 17, 15, 10, & 8.

My friend, who used to be a personal trainer and has thee best, most coveted body, asked me and a few other girls if we wanted to go to the high school and do stuff like that. I said yes but then I thought "Do I really want to do this?" Well, luckily I became pregnant so I couldn't go! Yippee! So, that could be a good excuse for you! All you'd have to do is get pregnant!Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01261835946813332558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554164106739610757.post-82578616366241297872008-08-06T19:44:00.000-07:002008-08-06T19:44:00.000-07:00I think you should go for it!!!

Before long your stamina will improve- you'll be so glad you did it.<BR/>I wish I had a chance to exercise with other women like that during a timeframe that I wouldn't be doing much else anyway. I have no motivation... but I don't like what my body is starting to do!!!<BR/>p.s. you don't have to push yourself so hard right off the bat- she's not your drill sargeant!! Just do what you can and slowly build up!!Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06131845183600329018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554164106739610757.post-27846121464291915682008-08-06T19:42:00.000-07:002008-08-06T19:42:00.000-07:00Do it, just do it in moderation.

I started working out in about February and was doing awesome (hitting the gym at least 5 days a week) until school got out then my routine was shot! I would get the kids off to school then hit the gym. Then in the evenings I was free! I have turned into mush over the summer and now that school is starting up next week, my goal is to ease myself back into it. Try to find someone to work out with on your same level, that will help motivate both of you because you won't feel the pressure to be the best of the best or even keep up with those who might be the best! Also, GO SLOW, sheesh don't start out your first day with what you described! That is totally setting yourself up for failure!!! BE REALISTIC and you can do this :) I'll be your motivational speaker anytime!!~Trish~https://www.blogger.com/profile/03499932173802838032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554164106739610757.post-87765101979857787982008-08-06T18:51:00.000-07:002008-08-06T18:51:00.000-07:00I have that same dilemma.

For me, hate and distaste of exercise usually wins out.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10399156539354549499noreply@blogger.com
