Lose weight the fun way.

Posted on October 22, 2014

Oh boy has it been a bad summer for weight.

My daughter got married, which was fabulous - I love her new husband and his family is great! It will be wonderful to have them all in our lives. However, one of my biggest downfalls is overeating & drinking at parties, and the parties have been non-stop.

My other downfall is stress at work. When I have a terrible day, I tend to come home and go catatonic on the couch. There's been way too much of that lately. I cannot let my job rule me and make me fat! Got to get out there and run and walk.

I just signed up for the transformer today. I am hoping that this 6 month focused effort will result in getting back down to a comfortable weight and getting my running back on track. :-)

Good luck all you transformers!

Shawn, do it, do it. We can keep each other going this winter.

Maybe I should sign up for this, too. My eating and laziness has been out of control lately. Work stress gives me a headache, and I tend to zone out on the sofa instead of sweat it out on the roads.

I hear ya! I got inspired tonight and got on the elliptical for a half hour. 3.2 elliptimiles in 30 minutes. If only I could run that fast.

Jump on into the game! We can support each other through the holidays. And get out of our work funks. :-)

I feel the same way about the COUCH--and I think I consume the majority of my calories in the twenty minutes after I get home from work! Maybe I'll use those twenty minutes to take a nice walk and unwind instead!

Sometimes if I'm hungry I take a ziplock bag full of veggies with me on my walk and eat them while I'm walking. By the time I get back I've had 3 or 4 servings of vegetables and I'm not as hungry.

My bad time is later in the evening. I need to knock off the snacking.

You can do it, Peg!

I like the 60 day run-up idea. Maybe I'll take a crack at making a spreadsheet. I have a hard time applying myself, though! :-P
