I'm really going to seriously start my exercise program tomorrow morning... before I eat gobs of turkey and dressing. Some things happened recently to make me stop and realize that I have to do something to feel better about myself. I know exactly what needs to be done, too. I need to lose weight and get dental work done. I've been putting off the dental work especially because of the cost, but I've been researching some other options that are much cheaper and would work for helping me right now. Anyway, I just realize how important it is for me to feel good and have the self confidence to be the best that I can be. We just have this one life and I need to take better care of myself.
It's been a terrible day here. I can't talk about it here, but it has to do with someone I care about not getting a promotion. :-( I know these things happen, but it really hurts me and feels like it happened to me. I've been crying all day about it on and off. I'm not only hurt about the situation, but I'm aching because of how badly he is taking it. I really feel rotten. But it makes me realize that I have to do something to make our lives better and maybe starting with how I feel about myself is the best place to start. Then I'll be better able to help my family.

I do exercise on and off..feeling good when I did and bad when I think I'm too busy. It does help me in many way..even though I'm still not in the best fitness mode. Sorry about the bad situation. Hugs.
I am so sorry for your pain in this disappointment. You're very, very wise to see that the only thing you can do, the only thing you personally have control over - is you.
I think both exercise and having dental work will make you feel better about yourself and that will affect your family. Just promise me not to be too hard on yourself, its normal to get frustrated with kids and worn out from working and being a mom to little ones. None of us are "Super Woman".
I am going to start exercising too. You inspired me. A little bit each day makes a difference.
I've lost some weight recently by cutting back on carbs (like if I have a sandwich I take off one slice of bread) little changes are actually working!
Thanks for your kind words Liza and Barbara. Today was easier now that Mark has calmed down about it. I feel better thinking about the little things I can do to improve. I'm excited about the dental work because that keeps me from smiling as much as I'd like to. Wouldn't it be great if I felt free to smile more?! :-) Sometimes it is hard to find time for exercise, but I bet that I could do little things like parking further away at work and stores and taking walks on my breaks instead of having a chocolate attack at the snack machine! I eat when I'm stressed. I got away from it, but tried the South Beach diet for a little while and lost a few pounds by cutting down on carbs too. I didn't feel too bad doing it either since I got to have protein foods. Thanks so much for writing... that makes me feel better too. :-)
