Ways to Exercise in the House

Quote From: missy77

I dit it, I'm dripping sweat as I write this. I wanted to do 15 min of elleptical, instead I did 20 and fast, I had my kids encourage me. When I felt like quiting I asked my kids to tell me to go faster and don't quit! and it worked!

 

I'm so proud of me, I feel the sweat dripping down my back and it's such a good feeling!

 

If it were not for you and your words I don't think that I could of done it!

 

Thanks so much!!

 

I did it! I did it! I did it!

 

Now I just have to kick THE BAD HABIT wich should be easy now that I'm primed!

I just started working out about 1 mth ago.  For 3 yrs I have put off taking depression med. My doctor gave me Zoloft and for the past month I've been working out.  I gained 60lbs when pregnant and I've lost 10 in past mth, it seems like it is not going away fast enough.  But just like you my almost 3 yr old was cheering me on the treadmill.  I've been doing an hour but the last  20 minutes seem like forever..

Missy, I'm so glad you finally got on your  elleptical and got your kids to hlep you out!  Just think what next summer will be like ... you'll be able to play outside with them ... that's a really cool goal!

 

Remember that working on habits takes time ... for me, I learned that I had to keep picking myself up and practicing.  Sometimes, I felt really blue and just wanted to give it all up.  Then I said, NO!  I'm tired of having these thoughts in my head!  I'm tired of repeating the same old tired tapes. I dream of never having to "BE HERE" ... like exercise. Even though I'm not exercising the rest of the week at the gym, I know that on Monday, I'll be back. It's taken me 2+ years to be here. 

 

It's so nice to be a FITNESS DIVA.  That's what I tell myself for the last 3 years.  Like Dr. Phil says, if you believe it, it becomes truth.

 

See if you can find a book on breaking your bad habit ... know that the bad habit has a pay off.  LIFE STRATEGIES  has a good chapter on what that means and exercises to help you work it out.
