I love going to the gym and miss it so much. Walking/jogging will have to do for now. Thank you and good for you! I love going to the gym and miss it so much.

What worked for me excersise-wise was realizing that the easiest way for me was to take a brisk powerwalk (30-50 minutes) every day. I was honest with myself and saw that every time I started swimming, going to a gym, I stopped eventually. It was too much of a hastle - going there, changing clothes, showering there, schedules etc etc... Plus, as you say, walking/jogging is much cheaper too :-) I decided to walk, because I'm not so fond of jogging, and when you don't like something that much, you are much more likely to avoid it... I've walked every day (almost) for a year now, and by now it's a habit I do automatically! Hugs from Free Good luck!!!!

That's right, I forgot about your resolution. I'm not really sore today so clearly I was just being a big baby yesterday. I don't feel like I've accomplished anything unless I can feel it the next day. Congratulations! That’s right, I forgot about your resolution.

You know, the Accountant's New Years Resolution is still fresh! :) Maybe joining you all in this effort will keep me on track. Thanks for this post Cyndi. And thanks to your friend Tammy for the challenge. Well…not to brag or anything…but I walked 3 miles Thurs & Fri–and I forced myself out for a jog before it rained today.

Hoodlums don't want to deal with crazy people. Maybe talk to bushes, ask "The Maker" to come take you away, start drooling, etc. Anyhoo, can't wait to read about your progress. You go, girl!

Curves worked wonders for me a few years ago, but I'm in the same boat as you. Way cut back work hours don't allow me to join, so I'm flying solo. We have a nice bike path by our house, but going alone is always an issue. I bring my cell phone, but maybe should get a little mace can, too. I just got a scale and need to work on myself, too!
