I'm tired of the republicans, tired of the democrats, tired of whatever Ross Pierot is?!? I am tired, I need rest.* Going from a stationary lifestyle to a sedentary lifestyle is hard work. Everyday is a battle to get up off my lazy butt. A battle, made even more difficult by that loud inner voice that keeps telling me "you're not worth it, sit down, shut up, and eat, then you will be happy."
Have you seen that commercial about the runner made of various horrors and stresses of the day? The further the runner goes, the more the horrors and stresses fall away until it is just a man left standing and taking a drink of the so call "fitness" water that is being advertized. I want to feel that way when I exercise, the further I go I want the horrors and stresses of my life to fall away, if only for a little while.
I think if you can find the right exercise for you then you immediatly start to feel that way. Exercise is personal, walking is not for everyone, running is not my obsession, I have yet to find MY exercise. The one method that is right for me. I like the walking, but the horrors and stresses don't fall away with it. So, I am on the search for MY exercise. I'll continue the walking and try others as well.
Starting with one that my back does not have to be involved in, it hurts.
I have found a, I'm guessing, new product. I might have been ignoring it. Anyway, Kraft has joined with the South Beach Diet guru to make lunchable type items. Each package makes two wraps, there are like 5 different types, they each have a minimum 14 grams of fiber, and are around 220 calories. I like the deli ham and turkey, which comes complete with two wheat tortillas about 5 inches, 4 slices each ham and turkey, about two ounces shredded cheddar, grey poupon mustard, and sugar free jello. I usually give the jello to someone else or throw it away, because I do not like aspartame (it causes alzheimers). That, a bottle of water, and some fresh carrots make a pretty good lunch. A benefit to all that fiber is that it makes you feel full longer.
Marria, thank you for your e-mail, you are a blessing to me. I hope you and Kim have a really good visit, give her my love.
It is now past my bedtime, hope everyone has a blessed day, g'night.
*Thanks Marc, from one of your exhortations.

I think you should try parkour. Ever heard of it? Look it up, you'll like it :)
My wonderful sister-in-law:
Keep it up! You rock! I am inspired to join you in this fight. I want to lose 150 pounds. As for school, go for it! I am currently completing my bachelor's degree and I still may go to law school.
Anyway, as to the problem at hand. You have inspired me to find a TOPS group near me and to start working out.
If you have a library in town, I would suggest that you borrow some of the fitness tapes or DVDs and see if you like any of them.
Keep in touch - I will let you know how I am doing, you let me know how you are doing.
Love ya!
Amanda
Anna, where are are you!
How goes the battle?
Keep up the good work, you CAN do this for YOUR own HEALTH, nothing else. Find ways to add exercise into your daily routine, park further away from the door, take the stairs, go on walks around the building (outside) when you have your breaks at work. This will burn extra calories and clear your head. I love you, keep up the hard work!!!
Jessica, fun to watch, kind of nice to know that there are people out there crazier than the average marathoner. You'll never catch me doing that, I value the ability to walk too much.
