Exercise...The challenge of consistance

I hate exercise...the idea of going to a gym and walking on a treadmill is really boring and not challenging, not to mention very intimidating....you see being the heavy one all my life you learn to avoid places that can cause pain...and not the physical kind...however, in an effort to stay off my Diabetic meds I bit the bullet and went back ...and since I had 6-1/2 sessions of personal training signed up for that. I will say that I like this personal trainer as much as my first one the last time I tried this...she pushes but doesn't try and kill me in the process...now to figure out how to pay of more sessions. The thing that bothers me the most about being obese is that most people do not get it....not even the fat ones...It is not simple if it was there would be no fat people...it is also not easy either.

Right now there are 2 schools of people the ones that think all overweight and obese people sit and eat fast food and junk all day long....I won't say I never eat fast food because that would be untrue...I do not eat it everyday not even once a week, it is more like twice a month...and for me that is sometimes too much....I will say I am aiming at seeing how long I can go without eating out at a restaurant other then for a special occasion...I will say when I do eat out I do try to pick the healthiest option offered..and sometimes not....but we are trying to save money and I made the decision that we would forgo the eating out and I would try cooking from all my cooking magazines...so far so good...yesterday was Tortellini Primavera....and a mixed green salad....and we sort of skipped dessert....the other school are the ones that blame gentic make up for it...more on them later

About the Journey

People reach milestones in their life that they chronicle...some with pictures others with writing...I have done absolutely nothing in my life that any one would consider great or important. Life is shall we say mundane at best. I have been lost as to what direction I should go and as my 40th birthday is approaching in the next month...I can say my life has nothing to show for it.

So far I hit all the depressing statistics...a house in foreclosure, no job or prospects of one, medical issues that are at times frustrating, and the worst of all I am one of the obese people you hear about on the news all the time.

Having laid this all out...the difference is I am making changes that make me happy....I am exercising and I am exploring my set backs and failures in an effort to move forward and have a happy and amazing life.
