I'm proud of myself. I didn't want to workout today but I told myself not to listen to that talk and just to do my DVD and I did it. I got through 29 minutes oof Jillian's DVD - the farthest I've gotten in it. I only did 5 jumping jacks in the first round of her warm up circuit and some jogging in place of the jumping jacks the second circuit of the warm up so I wouldn't be too tired to do the other exercises. I could have gone farther today but she was doing an exercise that involves going down on your knees and I wasn't sure I could or should do that with my hurt knee so I stopped the DVD but I still had some stamina left I could have done a few more exercises. I couldn't do every rep of the abdominal exercises but I did them until my legs and abdomen just gave out. I am going for a 45 minute walk today too. I am excited about my weigh in tomorrow. I feel light today which is usually a good sign. I have been eating close to 30 carbs a day though so my weight loss may slow down but with all this exercise it may stay the same. I'll see tomorrow.
Went to the bird food store today and got some insect suets. They are yechhy but the birds especially the woodpeckers love them. We have several bird feeders outside on our deck and the cats love to watch through the window.
Now I have my walking, my organizing, my languages, my step work, my prosperity meditation and some goofing off to do. I may add to the journal later. My spiritual meditation this morning talked about how temptations can bring us closer to God and give us humility. I guess I may need a lot of both. Have a great Saturday afternoon!

I didn't want to exercise today but I did my Richard Simmons DVD for about 27 minutes. I am going for a 45 minute walk later. I was just lazy today no good reason not to exercise. I tried not to think about not wanting to do it and I just started the DVD so I wouldn't back out. My knee hurt just a little bit. Tomorrow I'll do Jillian again but I am going to skip the jumping jacks so I don't get too tired to do the rest of the workout. I'll jog in place instead of doing jumping jacks. Then I should be able to get farther into the DVD. I may try to practice jumping jacks separately from the DVDs.
I have been trying to improve my spiritual life lately and I have been thinking a lot about working on my faults. I was just thinking today that I am working my way through the 7 deadly sins. I have been working on my gluttony with my food plan and my sloth with my exercise and home organizing plan. Now I have to work on my greed, my envy, my anger, my pride and I have already been working on my lust (I won't go into that on here). I did some forgiveness exercises today but I am going to look at the forgiveness book I read before and see what else I need to do. I did a self-forgiveness exercise last night. I had trouble sleeping last night and I was up until 4:30am. I did my Bible study and meditation before bed and it stirred up a lot of thinking and emotion about my
spiritual life. I read in my other spiritual book today and my AA book for morning meditation.
I also did about 1/2 of work learning Italian. I will probably work a little more on it later and I may work on my Spanish some again today too.
I'm going to go unload the dishwasher now and I still have to organize my bedroom for 1/2 hr. I just found out they are going to inspect our apt. next Tuesday which means it will take me every day until then to straighten up. I'm going to do my Bible study and meditation and my prosperity meditation and journal earlier tonight so it won't disrupt my sleep. I also felt when praying today that I should do the rosary tonight so I will do that also.

Yesterday I did Jillian's No More Trouble Zones DVD but I got so exhausted from doing 26 jumping jacks that I took a five minute break after the first 6 minutes of the workout. Then when I restarted it my oldest daughter texted me which she rarely does so I had to text back. I was doing an exercise then texting then doing another exercise pausing the tape to text doing another exercise until finally I got to a new circuit and I was able to go all the way through it twice without any interruptions. That is the farthest I've gotten in the DVD so far. I think it was actually harder taking breaks between the exercises and having to restart with each one. I was just glad I didn't give up. And I got to find out the next circuit wasn't too bad. I also walked 45 minutes.
I did my spiritual reading, my prosperity meditation and journaling and I started reading the Bible again as part of my spiritual discipline program. I also worked on my Spanish yesterday. Haven't made it to mass yet though. I will go Saturday evening if I don't make it before then. I need to add in half an hour of working to organize my house and some time to work on my step work probably 15 minutes every day.
Well I did 5 minutes of Kathy Smith today and my knee started hurting again so I decided to take a day off of DVD's and walking to try to rest my knee a bit. Maybe I am overexercising it a bit at least until it is feeling better. Tomorrow I am going to do my DVD's again and try to walk too. I did do my prosperity meditation and journaling, my spiritual cleaning and organized in my bedroom and the living room for half an hour. I also worked on my French for an hour and read my AA meditation book. I did forget to go to the meeting I planned on attending. Tomorrow I'll work on the house by clearing out my outsized pants do some more work on my Italian and do some step work. Oh I also worked on my Spanish today for about half an hour. I think I will try to look up some new recipes tomorrow too. I don't know which DVD I will do tomorrow. I just hope a day off won't make it harder to do my workout tomorrow.

These DVD's are becoming a daily habit. A good daily habit. Today I did 10 minutes of the Slim in 6 - don't know why I only did 10 minutes - I guess I just felt very tired. But I couldn't settle for 10 minutes of DVD time so I put Richard Simmons Dancin to the Oldies 2 on and did 22 minutes. I went 2 minutes past my goal of 20 minutes. It was only 2 minutes but it was extra that I didn't require of myself so that was good. I was actually having fun doing the Richard Simmons tape. The Slim in 6 is a good workout but fun not so much. I felt tired and really good after I worked out. I am so proud of my consistency of my DVD workouts. I have been a total couch potato all of my life and if I can develop this exercise routine anyone can. I am actually starting to look forward to working out - mostly for how I feel afterwards and the sense of accomplishment it gives me. I don't know if switching all these DVD's around so much is helping my fitness at all but I will build up my stamina and ability to do more than one over time. It definitely helps with the stress. And I have continued to walk as many days as I can in addition to the DVD's because I really enjoy my walks and they reduce my stress too. When I get up my nerve I may begin to do Jillian's DVD every day but I'm not quite there yet. I'll look at her yoga DVD tonight. I may buy her 30 day Shred too. Can't have too much Jillian...
I've been watching this TV show Too Fat for 15 recently and it is about these teenagers who go to a ""fat" camp where they learn healthy eating and exercise. My heart just goes out to them because I so remember how it was to be teased at home and at school about my weight and how hard it was to do phys ed (God I won't even talk about the undressing part).
It is great to watch the improved feelings of control and self-esteem that these kids develop as they lose weight and learn new habits and it's sad to see the ones who don't take full advantage of the opportunity they have been given who fight the program and avoid change.
My counselor asked me if I felt uncomfortable at all about the new feelings of poise and self-esteem - the new changes in my life and I told her honestly that I didn't. I guess I was just really, really ready for change on so many levels.
I am going to start going back to mass again. I looked up the mass schedule. So I will be going to Unity for services and a Catholic church for mass. It is a little crazy but it meets my needs for now and is so much better than not going anywhere at all. My husband really loves Unity and is making friends and needs the support right now. I am slower to make friends and the Catholics would probably excommunicate me if they knew I was going to a "New Age" church but it was the only church my husband was willing to go to with me and I wanted to worship as a family. Well part of a family - my teenager still won't go anywhere.
I am continuing to do my spiritual reading everyday but I am still forgetting to pray at night. I need to think of a way to remind myself. Maybe a note on my med planner...
I am on Day 3 of my church's prosperity meditation and journaling program. My husband is starting Day 1 for him tonight.
I screwed up my food the other day and had no veggies at all. And against my plan I jumped on the scale and it was 199.2 but I have been munching on salty sunflower seeds for 2 days so I think some of those lbs. will come off by my regular weigh in day. Still no variety in my food but I have been mentally preparing myself for the change.
It was funny yesterday but my best friend talked to me about her dissatisfaction with our trip to San Antonio and she felt I was bossy and wanted everything my way. Since we did everything she wanted all day every day except for going to some restaurants for the first few days where I could stay on my food plan I couldn't figure out where she got the idea we were doing only what I wanted. It was amusing really. I told her I felt the same way that she had wanted everything her way and I gave her examples (which she didn't want to give me). I tried to explain that food was an addiction for me and not a diet like her drinking is an addiction for her. But even after I explained she still said I had been rigid and too obsessed about my food. I'm sure she would be obsessed about avoiding her drug of choice but she didn't look at it that way. Anyway we cleared the air so it was good overall even if we had completely different views of how the trip went. I told my counselor though that the episode at our meeting, the trip and this talk showed me a completely different side of her that makes me not trust her nearly as much as I used to. As my counselor said "she isn't as perfect as you thought". So anyway I am learning new relationship skills of talking things out. My counselor feels my friend is having trouble adjusting to the new more assertive, more confident woman that I am becoming. We'll see. She is going to be gone on some trips for several weeks so I won't see her for a while.
I hope all of you have a wonderful evening!
