You succeeded! HAHAHA! *gives you a gold ribbon*

Haha I was just joking silly bean! I meant that (prolly) everyone loves that feeling. Then you know you did good! I meant that I thought you were crazy for thinking ppl think what you were saying was weird.

Am I making sense? I'm kinda confused. Basically, <3!

That's not weird at all, you crazy!!!!!

i crawl because it's too difficult to walk after my muscles have turned into jelly! LOL

i know i did a good workout when i crawl out of the gym. hahaha

maybe you should rearrange your schedule, getting fit is a big priority and it requires dedication. but if you can sleep in in the morning, then it should not be a problem.

LOL don't do it at night. It gets your blood pumping and it becomes harder for you to sleep! do it morning or afternoon, but preferably in the morning.

i usually worked out about 3x a week but I was very lenient with myself. When I hit about 140+ lbs early last year, I went 5-6 days a week until I lost 20lbs in about 1 1/2 month. then I slowed down and did a strict 3x a week workout sched. BUT THEEEEENNNN my grandfather passed away and I went to Seattle to be with family and you know how it is when you're with family--you EAT EAT EAT all the time... plus it was the holidays, so I gained between 13-15lbs. So I started doing really hard workouts 4-5x a week. Now that I've lost it, I'm back to 3-4x a week.

Yeah, don't rush into running. When you feel slightly more confident, do some power walking to test out the waters first.

good for you then! i did a 4-mile yesterday too and my legs are killing me because i've been doing it for about a week straight! usually i give myself a 24 hour rest period every 3rd day but I've been eating a lot so I didn't want to slack off.

how're you feeling about the workout? feel great?

*raises hand*

that sounded like the argument i had inside my head before i went for a jog earlier tonight. i am pissed that my leg muscles hurt but i know i did the right thing. so, GO YOU! :)

I think that happens to most of us. I try to remember that I always feel better after I actually suck it up and work out. It's a tough battle sometimes.

It was extremely intense, she revealed her face and I think I actually died a little inside I was so disappointed with myself for all my excuses and all the things I bitch about, talk about getting some perspective

Haha. I have the same inner dialogue, but it's just not as strong as yours, lol. I only work-out when I really want to.

Totally have it and bad me always prevails..but that post I just made is all about that lol

The bad me usually wins.

It's hard, I am the same way really. I need to find a better job. I applied at some places and then gave up. I need to do this or that, life would be so much better if I blah blah blah blah, but I usually never follow through. Its hard to do what's needed when you a-aren't sure what that is or b-are so used to what you have that the new is terrifying.
Its hard job hunting now because you feel like its a waste.
Its hard to stay motiviated because it feels like a waste.
So why do it?
But really it is self sabotage and it is definitely no good, for anyone. I think to some degree, everybody holds themselves back.

I know what it's like hiding whats really going on inside, ive been doing it for a good 12 years, very few people ever even see a glimmer of the truth, a way of protecting ourselves and our loved ones I think.

Today I watched Oprah. I know sounds a little cliche but bear with me. I watched the interview with the woman mauled by a chimp. This woman lives in a hospital, she has no eyes, they grafted her a new nose out of a piece of her leg, she has no hands, only one thumb, no real mouth and she has to take all her food through a straw. If ever there was a motivator, it was watching this, why?
She still gets up EVERY DAY. She told Oprah even when she doesn't feel good, she makes herself get upt and go for a walk...This woman who was lucky enough to survive her upper jaw being ripped off, her hands being shredded and pretty much her face being ripped off by a chimp, still gets up every day and does what she HAS to and then some. She doesn't just sit in her hospital bed all woe is me. She lives her life as fully as she can and here we are, people who are blessed enough to see, to smell, to grasp things and we bitch about life??

Seriously, I don't have all the answers and I wont pretend to but Id say read the interview, it is truly inspiring.
