30 days of wtf-weight loss through fitness

5/16/2013

    I figure since my 9lb loss from where's the food without exercise (yaaay) I should for the next 30 day wtf project incorporate exercise back into my life (yay.) I loathe starting stuff on Mondays-this day gets such a bad rap for being the first day after a weekend! So I chose...Thursday! 
    My other wtf project began on a Thursday and did well so I will begin the next on the same day of the week. I was a gym rat before my lo (little one) trying to get fit before pregnancy (didn't happen as I thought I had plenty of time) so I'm not foreign to exercise. However, gym membership cancelled as one of my happy tradeoffs so I may stay at home, my discipline for exercising at home, well lacks. Therefore I thought adding this as a wtf project I will be more motivated to exercise. The blogging makes me feel more accountable.
    So today was day 1 of a 9 week program, however I'm just posting the 30 days as I'm sure I will stick with it...although the previous sentence makes believe I should revisit aforementioned statement. I've used this before pregnancy but let me tell you the twenty minutes on easy setting really made me want to throw up. It was tough. So tough, tomorrow will be rest day switching it with Saturday's rest day. I told dh (dear husband) we should w-a-l-k (have to spell it in my house because the dog knows that word and will go crazy thinking she gets to go) tomorrow.
    I can appreciate those weight loss bloggers that will actually take a pic of the scale or disclose their weight. I won't. Marilu Henner was on Dr. Oz once and while he was introducing her with spectacular accolades he even included, the horror...that she once weighed 174lbs! *major face palm I needed to borrow an extra palm* 174lbs! Really now. I would've been more impressed if he had chosen to say she was 30lbs overweight. There are a lot of women weighing 174lbs some overweight and some that's their normal weight. Ugh such a negative stigma with numbers on the scale and jean size.
    Yes I can see the worth of women touting their numbers maybe to suppress this adverse reaction to just numbers, however at the same time I think maybe just leaving it out all together may also help. Instead focus on the 'journey' and the success. My only numbers will be of loss or gain. For those women that will even take before pics- wow such bravery, right now I'm working on discipline...courage may be next!

Wow, I wouldn't post pictures of my weight either...it doesn't really say anything. But the ups and downs do. I agree!

"WTF" had me chuckling, as did starting on a Thursday! Best of luck with it! I always think it's brave to announce on a blog, b/c it kind of keeps you honest when you go public with a weight loss regime!

Good for you! I'm determined to start the dreaded 'e' word as well...but first, I'm just trying to inch up to getting my butt to bed at a decent hour so I can get up early enough to exercise. I did get up at 5:15 this morning, 10 whole minutes BEFORE my alarm woke me!! That's huge!! I'm getting closer! I'll pop in that disk and see if I can keep up for 10 minutes.

Yeah, this is a topic I have trouble with too. The number is so personal for everyone - it all depends. But anyway, I wish I didn't care so much one way or the other. {sigh}

Thanks for dropping by on WW. You can do this. In 2011 I broke my leg and was laid up for 5 1/2 months. My husband, (who is a great cook) kept feeding me and I kept eating. Needless to say the five pounds I needed to lose before my accident, ballooned. Hubby and I started 2012 with a FitBit and a Fitness Pal computer app. I lost more than I had planned (30 pounds) and got down to my wedding day weight (May 19, 1973…we just had our 40th anniversary). Exercise is my treadmill, walking outside, gardening and our tandem bike. It is strictly calories consumed versus calories burned and with those two items I mentioned, it is easy to keep track of those things…something I plan to do for the rest of my life. I'm in your corner all the way and cheering for you. Nine pounds is already a great result! Best of luck, Janet
