kelly's diary

Well, I'm back to thinking life is beautiful. Turbulent at times, but good.

Saving up to send my sons to see Rain, The Beatles Experience, a concert in July. Need to garden up about $120. I saw them last year. My kids like the Beatles, well they'll LOVE them after this. That's good incentive to work.

All things settled for my son's grad night on Thursday. We're all going. Maybe not all sitting together but WE'LL ALL BE THERE. It will be a proud night. I'm bringing lots of Kleenex.

Going babysitting in the morning, gardening in the afternoon. Big money day.

Meaningful times with sister and friends tonight. What a day. What a kid. (me)

This entire posT just makes me happy for you!
 
Hey Kelly!

Made a wack of cash today.
Gardened two hours, babysat three.
Got reacquainted with an old friend.
Got taken out for dinner.
Got a cheque in the mail to buy a flight to Calgary to see oldest brother.
Oldest son one of twelve graduating french immersion students from original class of 35. Won a plaque at evening school assemby (which i did not attend, was not invited by ex but okay I can deal with that)
Youngest son, 14, won a math award (medal), french award and 3rd highest overall mark in grade 9 out of over 300 students. Wow.
What a day.

Its his high school graduation by the way. Tomorrow night.
 
I need some help to get exercising again.

My mentality about exercising is that it will be easier not to exercise.

I can see how my weight loss has slowed, but that doesn't seem to be enough to get me going. I am content? Well, yes in a way, I have lost twenty pounds and am keeping my weight at 180.

I will try to do something after breakfast, ride my bike, go for a long walk.

I was jogging two months ago. I was losing four pounds a month. Exercising five days a week.

I have taken a long break from it and its hard to believe I can get back to that level of "training" by just going out today.

I know, focus on today. And though it might seem easier not to do it, what are the costs of not doing it? To my health, to my physique, is it really easier not too?

Please help me!
 
Motivation: Exercise is fun and gets easier after about 15 minutes. JUST DO IT!! It will boost your metabolism and give you lasting energy for the day! :)
 
Hey, I went for a bike ride and it began to pour. I'm wet! Made it for thirty minutes. Curvy you are right, it is fun and it does get easier after fifteen minutes. Thank you so much for coming by.

I would have gone longer but my hands got cold.
 
I know, I will not listen to my mind. I will use my intellect to get out there. Intellect is in tact though the mind says no.

Hello Kelly..
I know just how you feel. But it also happens to be 88 degrees, but I need to go for a walk. I think that the only thing I can do today for exercise and some weight resistance. It seems that I have come to my fork in the road on whether to proceed or give up. So I am trying to make the right decision, go for a walk around five or six pm ...when it is cooler... the air is wiping the life out of me... no air conditioning...

So Kelly... I understand ...
You can reach the point where you can jog again. Don't think about what you haven't been doing over the past few months. You have a lot of time before you and jump in and do it. I know how easy it is to say it, but have no motivation. I guess it really takes a breaking point to go for it..

Just know ..we all believe in you ... and I believe in you hun ..

keep trecking ..and congrats on your awards and your sons graduation coming up ...

You Go Girl!

Hey Kelly,

To help you get back on your feet with the exercise, I'm offering to match you mile for mile (walking/biking) through this weekend. Just post how far you've gone and I'll match it! (Don't surprise me with a 100mile marathon... I think I'd die. Lol)

Natalie Jo and a couple others convinced me into battling the sore bum and saddling back up onto my bike. I did 10 miles tonight and after the first 25 minutes were over, it felt great.

Hi Kelly, good for you for getting out there and exercising, even when the weather wasn't cooperating. On top of everything else, exercise may make you feel happier as well -- not while you're doing it, LOL, but afterward!
 
Hey Kelly! I'm in a hurry but I wanted to drop in and say hi! I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
 
Sorry I couldn't be your e-walking buddy for the weekend. The offer stands just about any time if you need some encouragement. ^_^
 
Hey Kelly, I'm sorry I didn't see your post when you needed some motivation. I know how that is, but you took care of it yourself and went outside and cycled. The strength you pulled from is what is going to propel you forward, you're going to accomplish your goals. I know it. It's wonderful to see you defeat negative emotions, it helps me and I know it helps others as well. Thank you. :hug2:
 
Hi Kelly,

I've been away for a few days trying to sort out my life, so it's great to be able to catch up.

Thanks Mal, for the lowdown on how many calories gardening burns - it's still too much hard work for me! I'd rather climb a mountain!

Kelly, well done on producing such intelligent children! I feel rather bad for not being there (i.e. online) when you pled for help... if only there was a radar attached to one's brain so I could run to the WLF when there was a plea for help, motivation, whatever.. Ah well, the lovely thing is you got through it on your own, which indicates a high level of self-motivation and determination. Good on you. I hope you have a good week, and your mental strength keeps growing!
