The first day of the year and it is sunny and warm. Ture to my expectations, I didn't manage to stay up until midnight on New Year's Eve. Oh well, 2006 is here now!
When I went on my weight loss adventure in 2004, I lost roughly 45 lbs in about 4-5 months. I could have lost more, I am sure, except I stayed away from one thing -- the dreaded exercise.
Now I am not about to join a health club -- no way, I'd feel way too conspicuous. Way to embarrassed. I don't really want to start walking for the same reason. So I need something I can do indoors.
Aerobics tape? Nope, I have some and I quit watching them after the 3rd try. Just too much for me starting out.
We don't have room for a treadmill or exercise bike or anything like that. Gosh, we have a weight machine but it has so much stored on and beneath and around it that I can't even get to it. Besides, the weights start out a little too heavy for me, at least now.
So, I've decided on hand weights and a fitness ball. Okay, sounds funny I guess. The hand weights start out at 2 lbs and go up to 8. By the time I can do the 8 lbs easily, maybe I can dust off the weight machine and take it from there.
The fitness ball? Not too sure about that but I know I need some stretching and ab work. Thought that might help -- we'll see.
I will have my photos taken today -- argh! Not looking forward to what stares back out at the camera.
See you later!
