If You Can't Beat'em

Join’em is what I did. Last year I joined a gym and earlier this year I joined Weight Watchers, all towards improving my health and decreasing my girth. There were some measurable successes and I was quite pleased with the progress being made. I had resolve.

Correction, I have resolve! I don’t however, have memberships.

Priorities have shifted. Demands to divert dollars down other avenues have been made and must be met. So, memberships have been cancelled. But the resolve remains. I remain cognizant of caloric and fat in-take. I remain diligent to walking, stair climbing and / or bike riding, daily.

I remain committed to the continual improvement of my health and decreased girth. I don’t have the support that came with the memberships, but I do still have a cheerleader. She is as committed as I am to my goal, to be as healthy as possible, forever.

  4. Invest in a good heart rate monitor and you are good to go. I'm sending you an email to join a FREE online resource that's really helped Court & me.

  5. Progress requires a lifestyle change and it sounds like you've accomplished that.
    It amazes me to think how a hundred years ago, people didn't have to worry about their weight. What a lazy society we live in.
    It's motivating to know that just a little increase in activity can have big results.
    Congrats on your continued success!

  7. My partner goes to a gym, but I just walk every single day no matter the weather (and that can be a feat in Nebraska.)

    Very nice blog here. I have some free time and thought I would look at the sites behind some of the interesting comments that I have seen on other blogs.

    So..hello....:)

  10. good job! - you don't need gym memberships and all that ... save your money to buy yourself a treat when you make your goal. (not an edible treat...go for new shoes or a sparky new hat (hey...I love hats))
