    I want to lose weight this year. Today I bought freeze dried fruit over a bag of cookies. . . Putting one foot in front of the other.

    My coworker and I are going to have salads for lunch. If we are going out for lunch the salads become dinner. So far it's working out because we can share all our fixins!!!!
    Thank you fellow 10 clubber for saving my ass....again!!!

    OMG! Today was the first day I exercised in a long time and I felt like fossilized jelly. First, I did minor pre-run stretching exercises and my knee hurt. When I found out the apartment treadmill was broken I optioned for the stationary bike. After 15 minutes my legs felt like jelly. My heartbeat seems ok, which is the number one priority. I did some minor weight exercises, but they were more than I usually do, so that was ok.

    Surprising time starts 2017.

    Got a short ( 1 mile) hike in yesterday, before I got called to the stables to get one of the horses unhung.. ( he'd roiled up against the wall of his barn.) so after that 20 minute debacle.. the temp had dropped 12 degrees, and I was not dressed for 31 degree temps, and the sun was dipping down behind Pike's Peak... so I went home.. but at least I got a mile in! Ps.. I'm counting pulling an 1100 lb animal out of a corner as exercise.. good heavens am I sore from that!!

    45 minutes on a stationary bike and small weights. Much better than last time.

    Back day today. Still a ways to go, but I'm getting there. Gotta love the residual bicep pump you get from an intense back session (and, yes, I realize how that sounds :lol:).

    Definitely focus on change. Putting too much focus on the end result makes it easier for people to quit when the desired result doesn't happen fast enough. Focusing on what to do to get the result leads to less stress/anxiety in achieving that goal.

    Thanks Tree!!!! 20 lbs was my goal last January - Lmao to have been lost by the PJ KY in April. No such luck. I've lost 5 lbs. I've kept that 5 off. So gonna keep the goal at 20. No deadline just gonna keep working at it. I did better when I was counting calories. Much better.

    I know I need to work on my lunch can be too much. Meaning I'd rather eat a double lunch and skip dinner. As my evenings are crazy busy with 3 kids and practice and games and competitions.

    I was doing really well ummm around Thanksgiving to xmas I was walking on my cross trainer or eliptical. Every day 30 minutes. Well gotta get back to it. Lmao I'll leave it at I could continue "and tell you a story but no one..." :lol: I'm sure no one cares lmao.

    Good luck everyone. I love reading what you guys are up to!
