REVIVED!

After all the chocolate (and other no-nos) that I've eaten this week plus the humiliation that goes with totally failing Poseymom's challlenge, I was sort of feeling like lumping it and trying this weight loss thingy again some other day.

But NoooOOOOOooo (say this in your best Steve Martin voice)

I've gotten 3 comments in the last 2 days from people saying I look like I've lost weight. The sky opened up, a bright light shone and I swear I heard the angels singing "HALLELUIA"!

I guess I'll keep at it afterall!

It's amazing how far a little encouragement will go!

Poseymom's Challenge

Funny thing...On PeerTrainer, someone suggested I commit to 15 minutes of exercise -- just once, to get the exercise ball rolling. Well, I misunderstood, and thought it was a challenge of 15 minutes/day for 1 week. Sounded easy enough! So, I spread the word through my other groups. Some are adding longer daily workouts. Others are adding a longer commitment! People are really doing this! VERY COOL. And today I read that they're calling it Poseymom's Challenge!

Sad part is, the initial challenge was 2 weeks ago, and I haven't exercised a minute AT ALL! I guess if the challenge is going to be named after me, I'll have to actually do it. Shame -- now that's a great motivator!

New month = fresh start.
So, today is Day 1 of Poseymom's challenge, and I WILL EXERCISE at least 15 minutes tonight!

...stay tuned...
