Well, it's 01/01 again, and I'm dieting again. Last year I lost a little over 20 lbs, but almost 10 has come back over the past few months. I went to the store and spent too much money, but if I have a lot of choices around, I'm less likely to cheat.
I'm doing the low-carb thing. It seems to work really well for me. Please don't lecture me about the health risks. There are health risks associated with the "Beer and Pringles" diet, too! Just think of the money I'll save by not buying beer! I will probably allow myself a couple of Michelob Ultras every couple of weeks, but that's it. I'm not gonna bust my but to lose weight, then turn around and partake of liquid carbs!
I need to excersise, too. The problem is, I'm a cold-weather wuss. I often think I'd use a treadmill if I had one. It can be done inside and while watching TV. The problem is, I fear I'm wrong and it would end up as a clothes rack like in so many other homes. It's just too big of an expense to take the chance. I have also done workout videos with some success in the past, but our living room set-up isn't ideal for this...not a lot of room to move around.
I like to walk, but the first time it's rainy or cold, I skip it, then it seems I never get back out there. I've never been able to jog, either. I think I'm too uncoordinated or something. It just doesn't feel comfortable or natural to me. I guess I'll do some hand-weight work and situps and the like, until I figure something out. I'm very dedicated to the diet, so I hope I find an excersise solution!

Hey, I don't diet (or exercise <LOL>), but a few years ago I bought this nifty little thing. It's like a stair climber, but all you get is the two foot step things. Very small and compact, not too heavy. You can put it in front of the TV and just step during a program. I think that was probably my plan.... best laid plans of mice and well anyway I have carted the darn thing around for like 10 years. Hrmph! Well, my point is the thing only cost like $30, so you wouldn't feel guilty if you ended up not using it.... and if you found yourself doing it faithfully, then you could always 'upgrade' to a treadmill!!!!
