I set a goal…

April 9th, 2009 | Comments | Posted in Uncategorized |

I set a goal to walk 5 times this week on the treadmill and I am failing miserably. Yesterday I read so many blogs that were talking about shredding and how they felt good afterwards. Just reading them pumped me up. Thinking to myself “this is exactly what I need to read, I need motivation”.

Well by the time I got home, cleaned and cooked dinner each night this week I was exhausted. Too exhausted to even haul my large ass to the treadmill,let alone turn it on.

Now after several days of not walking I feel like a complete failure. It has been my goal to have a healthier pregnancy for myself and my baby and I can’t eve n seem to commit to 5 days of walking. Shame on me.

So I felt that I should confess that I haven’t been trying my best. Hopefully tonight I will make it happen. Hopefully, my flabby thighs are hoping too…

I remember thinking the same thing when I was pregnant..."I need to walk, I want to walk." But when you are pregnant, the energy level can be pretty much non-existent (at least it was for me). I agree with everyone else - don't be too hard on yourself and start of slow and work your way up.

I am sooooo there with you. I've not exercised this week like I should be. I'm afraid I'm going to have a gain. It's amazing how when you exercise, you eat like you should and when you don't exercise, you eat junk. At least that's how it is for me. I find that reading other peoples blogs does motivate me but sometimes it's just hard. But I guess if losing weight was easy we all wouldn't be blogging about it now would we? :-) Let's just not discourage ourselves. We can do this!

You are right Terri, we can do this and we will!

I am happy to report that I got on the treadmill last night and DID in fact eat healthier.

:D

Thank you everyone! WE all have weak moments and that is what is so amazing about this site...the sisterhood!

Love to you all!

Your "flabby thighs" are hoping too! which I doubt....... You guys have so many amazing things going on in your lives (like kids)... what's a little wieght loss in the whole spetrum of things... nothing!!!!!!! Anyway, good luck and I am so proud to be apart of something so big. Thank you for welcoming me to the sisterhood!!!

Maybe starting with a 5-day-a-week goal is too daunting. I only get on the treadmill 3 times a week. There are days where I could get on in addition to my "scheduled" days, but I don't. I can easily burn myself out that way. So, maybe start with a lower number and work your way up to 5 days. You're not a failure, it's just hard to actually DO IT when the couch is screaming for company!

Thank you so much everyone!
I'm going to try 3 days for a few weeks and then work up!

We all have weeks like this...just remember to keep working at it. And keep telling us your failures as well as your successes! That's what we are for! Keep working on it! You are working and taking care of a family, including a little one...so you have a lot on your plate! Keep trying and you'll get there!

You can do it! And give yourself a break, you're pregnant. Sheesh. I took the entire pregnancy off from exercise...not that I'd recommend that either!

Vickie

No Fat Ass talkin'!

You are pregnant and you are going to be tired...alot. Give yourself a break. Go slow at first.

Do three days, girl!! Especially after you have had to take it easy for so many weeks, five days is a lot. Your job right now is to cook that baby, don't be so hard on yourself. ;o)

Kellyn

I agree with many, you have to work up to the large goal and 5 days is a large goal! You can do it, just don't give up!

please try not to talk badly about yourself. i'm the worlds worst at it, but i hate to see when other people do it. it'll only discourage you.

you are a beautiful woman! don't let anyone (including yourself) say otherwise!

thank you Brooke
:D

kiminia

you can do it!!! shorten your goal to 2 or 3 days/week THEN when you've mastered that w/o inner arguement, you can make it 5 days? :) keep us posted!
