Yep...Happy Bunny I AM a LOSER!

Monday, February 18, 2008

Well this may be a little off the wall and random but....The Happy Bunny. he is that cute little bunny with the great big attitude. Actually he is quite sarcastic....maybe that is why I like him so. A few years back I bought a poster of him on it it says..."hi, Loser". I had it in the spare room forever until recently my hubby moved it to the other spare room with the treadmill in it. Funny, my hubby hung it right in front of the treadmill- so this is what I stare at when I am walking to become a better me. At first, I would look at it and think to myself- yeah your wrong Mr. Happy Bunny I am not a loser and just to prove you wrong I am going to do my full workout. ( I know it makes me sound crazy but I have to play a game of sorts so that I actually complete my workout!) Anyway tonight as I was exercising- it dawned on me...I am a loser- I am losing pounds and inches and I love it.

So, go ahead Mr. Happy Bunny...you can call me Loser anytime you want! lol

Ha! I love it! Reminds me of a poster I have... has a guy standing out side the psychiatric ward, there is a sign hanging from the knob that says "do not disturb any further"... cracks me up. It got me through college when things were crazy... reminded me that it could have been worse. Way to turn a negative into a positive! Report Inappropriate Comment

Becoming Addicted

Tuesday, February 05, 2008

Today I finally made it on the treadmill early before work...something I have been trying to do for almost a month. I like the thought of jumpstarting my day with some exercise before I go out to challenge the world at work. The problem has been that I am not a morning person so training myself to get up and do that has taken some mental preparation. Almost a month of mental preparation. Normally I get out of bed at the last possible minute to get ready and head out the door. But I woke early today (did not sleep well last night) and decided that instead of laying in bed thinking of how much I would rather stay in bed all day-I would get up and get the negative out of me with a good workout. Now it was only a 20 minute workout but I feel so much more ahead of the game today. Now I am thinking that if I get on again for another 20-30 minutes when I get home tonight( this is when I normally get my exercise in) I will be way ahead of the game.

Although my weight loss has not been dramatic I feel better, I breathe better and yes, my clothes are starting to fit better! I see and feel my progress, then I become addicted to it. I want to see more results and in turn I want to eat better, and exercise more. This is a great thing to be addicted to!

THIS IS SO ENCOURAGING TO ME! I would truly like to simply "get addicted" to exercise as others have done. I think you are doing a great job! jfsixty Houston, TX Report Inappropriate Comment

Great Job! I am not a morning person either but for the last three weeks I have gotten up to walk for an hour before work three times a week. I know it is so easy to just roll over and go back to sleep. Your did a good thing for your self. Keep up the good work. Report Inappropriate Comment

What a terrific job you did this morning in working out before work! From one non-morning person to another, I am fully aware how hard it is to get moving in the morning. But everything I have read advises it is best for our metabolism. You should be proud of the will power and commitment you have shown to your goal by working out. Way to go!

Little by little

Thursday, January 24, 2008

Little by little I am making positive changes to help me accomplish my goal of a healthier me. That is all I really want...I want to be able to run and not get winded right away....I want not always feel so lethargic and lazy. I do feel better more and more each day. I am happy that I am starting to come to a point where I actually take the time and look at my portion sizes...I actually stop eating when I feel full and I schedule my exercise time so that I have no excuses.

Honestly, it feels good...it feels like I am doing something good for me....... :)

Well we have been back from Myrtle Beach for about a week and I settling back into the groove of things. I behaved and didn't overindulge so I seem to still be on track!!!

This years Easter trip didn't go as expected ~family did not get along well together this year- thank goodness for seperate campers in seperate sites-lol. It turned out this was the coldest Easter we have ever had at Myrtle in all the years that we have been going down there. Hopefully it will be warmer on our next trip.
