for the last 5 and 1/2 weeks i have been at the gym mostly twice a day except saturdays - i only have one training session.
each of my sessions is at least an hour long but can go for two hours.
i do various cardio in the evenings and do strength training in the morning.
Dear Lou!!! Thank you my friend for mentioning me in you post - I am so touched!
As I said in my Weight Watchers thread, exercise is not really my thing, although I am embarrased to admit that considering the responses on this thread but I do need to get out there and do something to keep up the momentum!
Thanks for the encouragement hon!
Love

i am going to have an interview for a chirpractor's assistant's job this morning.
i was raised in a family of chiropractors and this looks like a good fit for me.
please send out the prayers and thoughts from now through the interview at 8:30 am and through out the day in the minds of the interviewers.
Good Luck!!!
i am a bit of a yo yo dieter - i have been dieting ever since i was a teenager, and my role model for this was my mom of course.
in fact one of my very early memories of going shopping with mom and her buying a diet shake mix.
well... i have a little girl who is almost three and i have been thinking about things and i really need to break this cycle of crash diets, losing 5 kgs and picking up 10 once i have lost motivation.
Thanks Lou!
I do want and need to incorporate some exrcise into my life, but I have to admit that I am not very good at sticking to an exercise program. I am thinking of finding a riding school and learning to ride a horse - I figure it is exercise and it is something I have always wanted to learn... we will see.

Yesterday's Weigh In: Lost 0.6 kgs... Not bad since I had takeout on Friday night, Kids party on Saturday, Father's Day on Sunday, Public Holiday on Monday with loads of yummy leftovers from the weekend! I hope to be a bit more disciplined this week - not much planned on the social front so I should be OK. PDB
i have since as far back as i can remember.
i don't really think the jw thing will be an issue anymore.... ok, so what do you think?.
lol at unconfused... p.s you are only allowed to start two topics a day
Oh, and one last word of wisdom that my midwife told me... "having a baby is the last selfish thing you will ever do"

My two children are two out of the three best things in my life... the third being my husband... but having said that... the only times in my life that I considered ever not being with my husband were in the months after my kids were born - having them added so much strain to our marriage.
You talk about having everything all planned out... sorry girlfriend - things dont always go according to plan... trust me (and bobby)
Are you ready to deal with not celebrating their birthdays?
As Minimus said - this is really not a decision you should be getting advice on from a mostly anonymous internet forum... but then again you knew that when you started the thread didn't you?
when i was active, i was always (usually) proud to talk about being a jw, our faith, reasons for our stupid beliefs on birthdays, x-mas, etc.
now with everything i'm going through, given how much of an impact this is to my life, i want to talk to others about it, like coworkers, and other friends.
but thinking about how i would explain how it's a mind-controlling cult, i feel stupid for falling for it.
It depends who I am talking to...
I was always embarassed to say that I was a JW, and I rarely told anyone. I now only mention it if it is relevant to the conversation.

Well done girl!!! That is fantastic!!! I am not a good gym person, but I am thinking of fulfilling a life long dream and learning to ride horses - I liev quite close to a horsey area, so I am busy researching some riding schools...
i was raised jw and of course the whole theory that a man is the head and the woman must respect her husband and be in subjection to his authority was ingrained in me from a young age.
my mother, (oddly enough) chose the jw religion, dragged my father in kicking and screaming (he later served as an elder for 17 years) and she complained constantly about men being in control and her pains as a woman in subjection.
now, i already have a good idea about my mother's problems.
I know what you are saying Milligirl and I agree wholeheartedly. As a kid, growing uo in the borg, this always irritated me and I could never understand why girls and women were inferior and not worthy of any position of authority.
The funny thing in my family was that whilst my Mom would always "defer" to my Dad as the "head of the home", she was definitly the dominant person in our home. When it came to money - she was the boss (if I asked my dad for something he would tell me to talk to the "minister of finance"). If it wasn't for my mum always pushing, my dad would probably not be an active dub.
