Since my Step360 is out of commission for a bit more I decided to see if I could find a way to do some of the exercises I loved without the platform. I managed to get some of them done and I’m happy about it as the ones I did are the ones that really make me feel like I have had a workout. I am now combining the strength workouts and my belly dancing DVD and hopefully it will work out well.

Mostly I want to keep exercising now that I have my blood sugar in a good place. I just got going again and I don’t want to screw this up.

The sad part is I won’t make this weeks goal, but at least I’m close. If only it had not rained all week!

The good news is on my last walk I did make it farther then I have so far. I love doing this and having this fitness push is a lot of fun. I’m finding walking relaxing and addictive. What do you like about exercise.

I found myself today looking at photos from Christmas a few days ago and I really did not like what I saw. My sisters said I looked really good, but all I saw was “huge”. I felt like I hadn’t lost anything over the last few months. Of course I was retaining water over the holiday so some of it was just bloat, but I know I still have a very long way to go. I’ve added one of these pictures to my slide show to help remind me where I was and where I want to be.

When I look at these pictures and I see my nieces and nephew, I think I need to lose that weight so that I can watch them grow up. I don’t know if I’ll ever have kids as nothing in my life is currently pointing to that chance, but I think of my nieces and nephew as my own and I want to be their for all of their first, well almost all of their first. This is my motivation. What is yours?
