I admit that this is not a traditional exercise blog. That is true. I am not a trainer, a fitness model, or even a chef. I am just a regular person who likes to blog. I would like to learn and also do health-oriented things such as exercise and healthy recipes.

I need a goal in mind.
I once knew what I wanted to do. Walking is a safe exercise that is easy to do. I have taken exercise for granted. I am wrong for doing so. I had no set goals in mind. My real goal is to exercise at least 3-4 days per week for at least 10-20 minutes during the day. I need to realize that I have to get out there and do it. I have allowed both fear and anxiety to take over. I have failed, but I am no longer fearful like I once was. At least I have that going for me.

Reflection from yesterday
Needless to say, it will take a while longer than just push myself. I realize that I am hurting only myself, but I have been busy concentrating on other things such as doing things that are an alternative to using the internet. I have been online all day for the past few days. There are times when I feel like I have lost so much time using the internet when I could have exercised or read a book. Maybe it is time I taper off or stop using technology to make a schedule and to exercise. That is what I need to do.
The above reflection is from yesterday. That is what I plan to, and will in fact, do. I admitted that I have spent too much time online. However, reading books keep me in check. One can learn so much from reading a book. Exercise, like reading, are fundamental. I didn't write this for humor's sake. I was writing this to point out the fact that I have not taken enough time to take exercise seriously. That is a fact that I need to admit to myself. I don't want to procrastinate, but that is what I have admitted to doing. Sometimes, the key to working out and the fear of working out is to admit that I have a problem. In time, I will (in not much more time) will end up being motivated to do what I am SUPPOSED to do, not what I wish or desire to do.

Scheduling my exercise routine
Needless to say, it will take a while longer than just push myself. I realize that I am hurting only myself, but I have been busy concentrating on other things such as doing things that are an alternative to using the internet. I have been online all day for the past few days. There are times when I feel like I have lost so much time using the internet when I could have exercised or read a book. Maybe it is time I taper off or stop using technology to make a schedule and to exercise. That is what I need to do.

My next routine
Tomorrow, I will give the results of my next routine. My routine will be that of yard work. Walking is the best exercise for me because it is safe. However, yard work would do me some good. I realize that the reason I am online because it is the safe way to cure boredom. The personal reasons I have for exercise are weight loss, diabetes, anxiety, and pain. I realize that no matter how lazy and motivated I think I am, I realize that I am not. I just need to just go out and do it.

One more time
I have decided to do it one more time. I mean exercise that is. However, I put on my watch which determines the pulse and my exercise calories. I burned 114 calories and my pulse is 80. Both of them are a little low. However, it is better than burning no calories and having no heartbeat. I am just thankful that I am alive and getting myself motivated.

Today's break
I am taking a break today. I have taken quite few breaks from exercise as a result. My weight for the most part is going down, which I am proud of. On thing that I am not proud of is the fact that I have no idea to exercise. I need a more realistic goal. That is what I need and want to do.

Reflection:
I wonder if I should take into account the fact that I don't exercise. I have to be not only mindful when it comes to the issue of obsessive thoughts, but also when it comes to the issue or eating and exercise. I realize that eating is 80% and exercise is 20%, or is it? I have often made excuses as to why I have yet to get back on track. I can for the time being, walk for a few days a week for at least 15 minutes per day. I want to start off slow, but not too slow. I want to enjoy exercise. I want to see the benefits of exercise. My goal is to push myself, so that I can truly say, I can accomplish my goals. I no longer will see myself in a negative light, I will have overcome my fears, and that I can be honest with myself.

I have every reason to exercise for it has not only done my body well, but also keeps me mindful.

I realize that I can't out-exercise a poor diet. In order for me to lose weight, I have to also exercise. I feel like walking is the best exercise for me, for now. However, I think that there are other exercises out there that I can do. For instance, I am interested in dancing and certain low impact walking exercises from DVDs on Youtube. Zumba seems like fun. I have tried that before, yet it is quite hard. I have had to struggle to "connect the dots" between diet and exercise. All I have to do is to start off slow.

Reflection about being positive
Since this past weekend, I have given up on myself. At first losing weight was much easier. I could overcome my fears and doubts. I am now struggling because the fears and doubts have come true. I have not exercised. I have given up. I have not eaten healthy. I have procrastinated. I am stumped. I don't know what to do. I feel like though I have a nutritionist at hand, I am still struggling. I am worried that I am not on making any progress. It is I have a week to do so. My appointment is next week and I don't wish to make any progress. My goal is to weight 120 pounds. I have stomach that I wish was flatter. My thighs rub together. I am also suffering from numerous health problems including mental and physical problems, and I am hormonal. I have allowed my hormones to get the best of me. I am struggling and I am in need of support and a true friend who is going through the same thing. I need to be held accountable. I realize that I cannot do this alone and it has been hard for me. However, I wonder if I am making this hard. I never had to deal with so many health problems before. I have also procrastinated. Maybe a plan would do me some good.
This is what I need to do. However, I also did not yesterday. My goal is to dance and to do strength training. The plan has failed. Maybe that is the problem. I fail. I give up too much. I need to relax and take my time. What is it that I need to do? What is it that I want to do? I do enjoy walking, but I realize that I need to pick up the pace. I do walk too slow, but at least I walk. That is important. Being accountable for myself and loving and supporting myself are also important. Exercise has been of help as far as my emotional as well as my physical health. No matter what my health issues are, I know that I can lose the weight, but now my goal is to eat healthy.

I did not exercise today. However, I wish I did. I have to see how beneficial exercise has been to me. Right now, I feel like giving up. I eat foods that are not good for me. I tend to consume over 3000 as of late sometimes using the excuse that my blood sugar levels drop. It does happen, but does it happen in all cases?I have no excuse to not "get back in the game". I need to make a daily plan for exercise like I do for the diet plan. I feel like I have gone back and not forward. I have made one step forward, two steps back

I have meant to exercise yesterday. However, the exercise did not help my shoulder pain. I had severe shoulder pain that wasn't debilitating, but it was serious enough for me to rest. It is only then that my rest include an overnight one. I did not exercise either, which reminds me to make a plan that is easy for me to follow. My health is very important to me and now I realize how important much more so.

I have had burning sensations in my hands and feet. That alone is enough to want me to exercise and help keep the weight off. I realize that one cannot exercise a bad diet off, so I am taking my time on the exercise thing. The truth is, I want to try a number of things, such as Zumba or walking. I also wish to start slow on the exercise, like 5-10 minutes of exercise then work my way up. My goal is to be fit and healthy.

I have to be honest. I don't like how I look. My body is rather disproportionate. I don't wish to stay overweight and self-conscious. I am not happy with my weight. However, I have gotten too complacent. I wasn't sure how I should plan my exercises, yet I realize that I have physical limitations. However, that does not mean that I will remain overweight and self-conscious. I realize that I have to stop being self-conscious and show myself and carry myself with a deeper respect. I will also keep in mind that being thin is not more important or being about beautiful or being happier. Fat or thin, happiness does indeed come within. I am not so happy because I am not in the best of health. I am not happy because I wished that I have felt better about myself and respected myself before. I know it isn't really about exercise but it had to be said.

Reflection:
I have decided to change my goal. It is important that I have these goals in mind because of my not always being sure about my ability to change. I was at a point where my feet and to an extent my hands were burning. I believe it is the medication, something that I need to tell the doctor about soon. Yes, I am diabetic, but I have come to realize that exercise is so good when it comes to lowering high blood sugar. Exercise is also good for changing a lot of things like one's confidence and one's appearance. I am going to say that I can do it and I will do it.

Reflection:
Is there really anything I love doing? Sadly, I love to walk but only inside the house. I do however, enjoy walking outside, just not as much. I live a sedentary lifestyle and I consume a bad diet. Those are things that I have to admit. I cannot exercise a bad diet. So what is a girl to do? How do I change my diet. I have begun to make bad choices and I have begun to worsen. I am going to have to make some subtle changes. I am fearing that during the time things get worse, then I will have to quit. I am now in a danger zone.

Reflection:
Nothing has changed. In fact, things have worsened. I wish I had the foresight that I have now. Hindsight however, is 20/20. I would like to say that exercise, like reading, is fundamental for good health. I have no excuse or no fear. Losing weight is only as hard as one makes it. That is the sad thing about me. Diet and exercise are hard for me and thus I give up easily. That is just one more hurdle I have to climb.

I am thinking of buying weights, for now. It has been on my mind because if I were to buy so much equipment then I would be wasting money. So for now I plan to only buy weights. It seems silly but buying weights along with kettlebells and resistance bands and not doing with them for now at least is even sillier. I have decided to exercise three times for a brief period at at time tomorrow. Exercise is very important to me as it is not only good for my body but for my overall health. I will also weigh myself tomorrow. My desire for now is the lose 60 lbs, but before I can do that, I plan to lose almost 15 more pounds, or 5% of my body weight. I am just proud of the weight I have lost.

I have something to admit. I have taken a rest from exercise. Big mistake. I didn't exercise at all because one cannot exercise out a bad diet. I consumed a lot of calories today and now I wished I could have eaten healthier and exercised. Therefore, I may have gained a lot of weight and have burned no calories.
