Hi everyone!
So my topic for today has to do with my journey to losing weight. It has become clear to me that I clearly don't want it bad enough. I say clearly because it is obvious that I am not trying hard enough. I don't exercise. I have been maintaining the 21 day fix diet pretty darn close to what they recommend. But I haven't followed the exercise routine portion that they recommend. I think its because I'm pure lazy. I have dvds I can follow from the comfort of my own home for God's sake and I don't do them!! It's pure laziness. That's exactly what it is. Maybe and I stress maybe I feel the dvds wont make me skinny so that's why I don't bother???? IDK
My friend comes with me every now and then to the gym. That's pretty much the only time I exercise. I shouldn't rely on that to be the only time I exercise.
Does anyone else have difficulty exercising ? Any modalities they prefer?

better than ever
thanks for reading ..
I honestly have felt better than I ever have. Doc and I added an anti-depressant to my medicine regimen. My daily crippling anxiety and panic attacks have gone away. Its like a miracle. I still have some lingering worries but NOTHING like before.
I have my fellowship that keeps me getting out of the house and meeting people. Also all the friendships I've built are priceless. I go to meetings almost every day and it really helps my psyche and socialization.
Next:
I have my Starbucks and blogging routine every weekday morning! I love this new routine. It helps get me out of bed, home and into the real world. I love all the workers at Starbucks they are so friendly and always seem to be having so much fun. I also like to see all the people like me with their laptops plugging away at something.
Next:
I have a new counselor. It took me a while to establish a new counselor after my last ones' office closed. My friend suggested this lady at Life Bridge in Bridgeport. And because I knew someone who referred me I was able to bypass their rule of meeting 3 times with an intake coordinator. Shes really sweet and has a lot to offer. I have had success in the past switching counselors/therapists because I get a new perspective on my current issues.
Next:
I just started at Planet Fitness. I now have a personal trainer there. I plan to go every work day just like startbucks and meetings. now technically my membership allows me to go to any Planet Fitness. but I am just getting settled at this one and I love the trainer and would hate to pick up somewhere else.
My life is going tremendously well. And we have our house for sale. So Im on the edge of my seat wondering if Im going to have to change everything. Sell tons of items in my house.. relocate .. change therapist, doctor, blood work, pharmacy, gym, meetings/.
Please pray for me that whatever happens will be a new door opening or just keep going so greatly.

comittment
I'm baaaack! Well I was adjusting to my new meds that made be even sleepier than before without those meds. But now I'm hopefully back to the grind.
The topic of today's blog is commitment. This is a character defect of mine. I have all these great ideas and then I start them and then never finish. Some things I'd love to be able to commit to...
1.) daily walk or daily gym use (I currently have no membership and a hole in the belt of my treadmill at home.)
2.) skin care routine. I do it at random. I'd like to do it consistently daily!
3) art journaling or making art daily
4)cooking on weekends or trying new recipes
How come I cant make habits of these things I've listed??? I think its laziness.
The TV is so much easier of an option..
When it comes to relationships I am huge on commitment. I am good at it. I like it. I repect it.
When it comes to jobs I'm horrible at it. I get started and want to leave soon there after.
When I told my friend that my husband said I'll get a gym membership and wont stick to it. He said prove your husband wrong. hmmm.. can I really commit to a gym membership??
Ive had Lucille Roberts.. went 3 times. I've had Bally's and went again maybe 3 times. and then Planet Fitness a handful of times.
And.... if we move I wont' know if there's a gym near me.
I recently bought Gretchin Rubin's newest book. Better Than Before. it's suppose to help people commit to things and form habits.
I'm hoping the book will be JUST what I NEED to make habits!

exercise
So I'm just gonna say it- I am lazy. I chose watching tv over exercise. I need exercise. Technically everyone needs exercise. It doesn't have to be for the purpose of loosing weight. Exercise is good for your body, mind and spirit. I have been told by my doctors and therapist that my mood will improve if I exercise daily.
Man if only I could get off the couch. I recently told my husband that we could use our house as a gym. Squats with the couch, sit-ups using the floor. Running up and down the stair well and much much more.
I have had 3 gyms in the past. Lucille Roberts- I went a handful to times and couldn't cancel the contract so I paid for gym I didn't use. Then there was Bally's- again I went their twice and paid a 3 year contract!!!! To break a Bally's contract is like impossible. you have to either die or move an insane amount of miles from a bally's gym. Then there was Planet Fitness. Hubby and I started going. Super cheap by the way! and we never made a routine of it. Stopped going and eventually cancelled.
So my treadmill at home broke. There is a gaping hole in the belt. So maybe Planet fitness could happen again. But if we move I don't want to be under contract with a gym.
I recently lost a lot of weight. when I quit drinking alcohol pounds shed quickly. I now fit into my size 2 jeans. But all my weight is in my belly. Sometimes a touch it and think: Erin you feel pregnant .. lol!!!!
I've tried dieting by juicing and cutting down on carbs. Boy is it hard. I prefer to eat what I want to eat and that's that.
Loosing weight also is easier if your partner does it with you! And my husband wants to lose weight so that's good.
I've always dreamed of being a runner. I can barely walk fast and lose my breath. Let alone run or jog!
Maybe I'll get off my duff and start. There's no time like the present.
