Guest guest Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 ". Keeping the habit of working out is more important than the total time I work out. I agree Charlotte. It's so hard to start back up when you take time off. WTG! Regina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Thank you. You should have seen the pity party I threw these last few days. It took 2 days just to get all the drunks off the floor.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Awesome job Charlotte! Keep it up! Yes I was able to see it on it's actual night (they replay it Sundays) since TBL didn't come on until 8 this week and that does make a lot of sense. I was glad to see her leave, she was beyond an annoyance. ten minutes today. I missed yesterday because my schedule has been hectic. I've been fighting depression as well. I realized while watching " America's Next Top Model " ...there was a scene where this girl got sick, and they were talking about how in a previous episode when a girl got sick, she went ahead and did her shoot. They talked about how sickness there is sometimes a sign that the girl is too stressed by being in the contest, and doesn't want to be there. ...I realized that while I am going to have my bad days...I don't have to give in to it. I don't have to just " give up " and let the fatigue put me on the sofa watching T.V. (ironically, it was watching TV that reminded me of this truth.) The past few days have been days of fatigue, but not of the very worst kind. I've been sleeping a lot, and that has disrupted my routine more than anything. This fatigue is going to be part of my life. I need to just accept it, and then say, " okay, but I'm not going to let you stop my life and my dreams. " Even tired, I can make it to my computer and keep on going. Feelings are just feelings, they aren't the truth. I make my own truth. And my truth is that I am a writer, still training...training to be the best that I can be. I may have said this before, and if so, I apologize for the repetition, but saying it...is to remind me that as long as I have breath in my body, I can still do this. I can still make the most of my life in my narrow little slice. I'm not going to be someone in New York, writing Broadway plays, or being a fancy designer or whatever. Butttt, I can be in my house in a tiny corner of Arkansas, living. Just that: Live. Live well. This doesn't mean I'm not going to take care of myself. I do/am/will. However, I am choosing to refuse to let my disease dictate my life any longer.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 Yeah, that particular girl was annoying me as well. What a B****...sorry. She was. But she managed to teach me something, when I realized that a little bit of my own whiney attitude had crept into my own thinking, and acting. I wasn't giving all of me, just enough to keep the water muddy. And that I want to stop WHINING about it all (even if the whining is only in my own head.) God can send wisdom in the most unexpected places...even a "fluff show" like that.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2006 Report Share Posted October 15, 2006 I kept one thing in mind as I tried to keep up...today's hard workout leads to tomorrow's easy one. Good thinking!! I'll have to keep that in mind next time I want to give up. Regina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Luckily, I only have to be patient for about a week. glad it's not too long for you. Very nice of you though! Regina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 That's awesome Charlotte! Keep it up! Yes the abs are tough but the results awesome! I managed 12 minutes of a workout, plus about 4 minutes on Abs, so about 16 minutes in all. Not as good as last week, but still better than none at all. I have to say I hate working on Abs. It's the one sure place I need to work out, and the one sure place that is guaranteed to hurt. Oh, well, as the French Foreign Legion and the U.S. Army say: Pain is weakness leaving the body. Looks like I'm in for more pain.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 I am at 22 minutes now, and deleted my abs workout as I'm getting up in minutes. I did this because my body was saying "I want more movement", and so I gave it to it. I also took out a whole set of videos out of rotation that are just too hard for me...and might always be that way. So I have six types of workouts I do, and it alternates like this: Basic Firm, Pilates, Taebo, yoga, aerobic tape, and lastly, Misc. Misc. is a group of exercise tapes that aren't really any of the others. I only gained about 2 pounds over Christmas, and that might only be normal body flutuation. My daughter gained 5. I also plan on recording my eating...for a while...to make sure I'm not like totally pigging out. I keep seeing these shows on 500 pound people and I don't want to delude myself about how much I'm eating...I see them on there, and they say they don't eat much but I see chip bags, and wrappers of all types around them as they say it, as well as liter soda containers, etc. Charlotte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
