debzc's Journal, 31 March 2008

WooHoo, I made it through another weekend! I have an "Around the World in 42 Days" calendar right in front of my computer and it's turning out to be very helpful. I glance up and there is all my information. I think it's keeping me on task.

And, beginning today; I've added another 10 minutes of exercise per workout. That's 360 minutes per week (Sunday off) on behalf of the Adventurer's. That's minute compared to the amount of some exercisers! But, I'm an older lady! And, I have a full schedule.

Changing gears...I have a friend who talks a lot about losing weight. I truly believe that when we're READY to lose weight, we'll begin that journey. Because I know that, I find that I have to "shut up" and not preach too much about fatsecret and all that it has to offer. It's hard though. But, I also know where she's at - not ready. I just need to shut up and I guess I needed to see that in writing.

Anyway, have a great week everyone! GO ADVENTURER'S GO!!!

What do you have posted on your calendar? I am wondering if something similar would help me.

Awesome commitment to exercise! Don't worry that you are doing as much as someone else. I find the key to these challenges is to compare ourselves only to ourselves. If we finish the challenge having made any improvement over where we were when we started, then we are winners. You are doing great! It's good that you don't want to sound preachy about weight loss to your friend but I don't think there would be anything wrong with trying to include her in your healthy efforts in some way to see if she is ready to make the leap. You could suggest being exercise buddies or offer her a copy of your favorite healthy recipes the next time she talks about weight. If she takes the bait then you can open up more when the time is right. Having a friend along on the journey is always a plus!

Congrats on shifting another pound already - you're doing great! Fantastic work increasing your exercise too - that's a terrific weekly amount!! It is hard not to go on about Fatsecret - I do mention it *occasionally*! However, you're absolutely right not to preach to someone who's not ready - that will just make them shut down completely. I'm sure you'll be ready to support her fully as soon as you is in the right frame of mind. Keep up the great work!!
