Ok I haven't been faithfully posting but felt the need to tonight.......................just got back from my nightly walk/jog with my son, I started "the firm" tapes and weight watchers. I am doing really good so far, but I AM SO SORE !!!!! OMG, those tapes will likely kill me, but I know they will firm and shape for sure...I'm just trying to get through the muscle aches right now Thank god for my son, he gets me motivated to get out there every night and walk and or jog weight watchers is going great, I will try to post every so often to let you all know how I'm doing. It is so nice to know that I'm not alone in my quest for fitness !!!!!!

ok, sgl.....You're my hero of the day!!:clap_1: :clap_1:

I have not started eating healthy yet...

...But, I have been going to my pt every other day for back strengthening & plantar fasciitis (sp.) exercises; doing these exercises at home 2x daily. And, I got results from blood work and ALL the numbers were within the normal ranges!!! I was sweating that - thinking they would be off the charts since I had not had them checked in 6 yrs.!

Ladies, try very hard NOT to gain weight from the smoking cessation. ALL of my problems now are from gaining the weight when I stopped smoking. Good luck to each of you. It will be worth it, eventually. :clap_1:

jr--glad all was good with your blood work!

I guess my biggest fear of quitting smoking is the weight gain. I am hoping the wellbutrin may help take that edge off too... but, it's scarin' the crap out of me to think about GAINING! Good grief--I can't afford to gain a pound!!

SGL, I was a faithful FIRM user several years ago, those tapes were so difficult but definitely delivered results. The ones I have are from the older series and I did them so long that I can not stand to do them any more. What are the titles of the ones you are using now and do you use all the different boxes. I just have one box and it is not adjustable, I think it is 8 or 10 inches tall.

My 19 y/o son stays on me all the time to get back to the gym. He told me I HAD been a good example to him because I always made time to exercise. I don't know what happened, other than I just got lazy. It has been a couple of years since I exercised with any consistency. But I am going to start back tomorrow. Once I get in the habit of making exercise part of my day, then I really miss it when I don't. Habit being the key work.

Well, I didn't last long. IBD and I went to the Girl Scout cookie sales meeting last night. Of course we had to quality taste test the merchandise.:roll: So I ate one of every kind (except the hairy looking little coconut ones), and 2 of the new lemon cookies.

Then I had a glass of wine with a little sushi dinner- I ate sushi! Well, the cooked kind, but it looked pretty official.

Will try to be better today.

That's so funny you said hairy coconut!! That's exactly what my daughter says about coconut--"it's like eating hair'!
Why, I woulda done the same thing--sampled them all!! Did you like the new lemon ones?
And, of course you had to wash it all down with a glass of wine...makes sense to me.
You will do better today...it's a new day!

Let me clarify that the wine was at a restaurant AFTER the meeting. Probably not a good idea to BYOB wine to a Girl Scout meeting!
