not feeling like I'm doing things right

So one of the most crucial things that I haven't been doing that I think is causing me to not feel 100% is that I haven't been exercising. I used to at least exercise every so off, but not so much since the middle of the summer.

I'm tired, I have less of an urge to watch what I'm eating. I have to get back into exercising. Whether it is taking a walk daily or doing the Carmen Electra stripper moves (hee hee stole it from a friend of mine).

Anyone have any suggestions how I get my ass in gear?? I think that exercising might give me motivation to start eating better too.

I wish it were easy... I know it's not, but I kind of wish it were.

  • my boyfriend bought me carmen electra movie thing for exercising, and wanted to watch me do it. Honestly, I was too embarrassed which just made me angry. I do like tae bo though!

  • There must be something going around... seems like there are quite a few of us struggling with the big D lately. It sucks having this to deal with 24/7... it really does. But I know we've n choice but try and manage it as best we can.

    Currently, I'm trying to regain my control, but even when I think I'm doing ok, things are still off... which make me even more frustrated. I mean, what do you do when you think you are eating fairly reasonably, exercising, and testing and things are still ridiculous?

    I've been running high the last 3 days... today, I don't think I had a reading below 200. That's what really get's me.

    Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that you aren't the only one who's having difficulty. I know that may not help you, but you what they say... misery loves company. I find knowing that I'm not the only one dealing with these issues helps...

    Here's hoping there's better blood sugar readings in store for us tomorrow! :)

    PS... as far as exercise goes, you need to find something that you enjoy. That will make working out easier to do.

    I can't say I always enjoy my workouts (that's kind of rare), but I do them regardless.

    Personally, I find that working out in the gym is a better way to fit exercise in. I mean, the fact that I'm going to a place solely meant for working out will make me more likely to have a good workout than if I was to workout at home. I think there's too many distractions at home( i may have ADD, lol.) And I'd probably be tempted to shorten a workout or even skip it if something more appealing at that moment came along.

    Have you tried joining a gym or taking a class? Also, finding a friend to workout with might also help to keep you going. Good luck!

  • just start by moving...doing something...anything...doesn't have to be ambitious...walk around the block. walk farther the next time. gradually, increase what you are doing. stay disciplined to doing something no matter how small. before you know it, you won't be able to do without it.

    i swear...
