Great post. Thanks for sharing with us.

I'm with you- drama is overrated and belongs in high school where it can die a long, painful death (along side scrunchy socks and tight rolled jeans).

It's eastier in summer. The long days make you feel more positive anyway, I find.

Visiting from SITS. I am about to try to lose 50 pounds. I am going to add you to my reader so that I can get some much need modivation.

You are one strong mama! There are so many great dvd's that you can stock up on too. I know you already have Sadie's but check out Tracey Mallett and also the 30 day shred... the shred is kick butt!

Ugh, head colds are horrible; I hope you feel better soon.

You're attitude about life and your fitness goals are so inspirational. Leaving the past behind isn't an easy step but it's something we all need to do sometimes to move ahead in our lives.

I love the outdoors but we live in FL and I cannot handle the heat. It's easier for me to get more variety when the cooler temperatures arrive but not necessarily easier to lose weight.

Hugs to you sweet Connie and thanks for you support and encouragement.

Sounds like you're making lots of changes in your life...good for you! I think we all have a lifetime of bad habits that we are trying to overcome...that seems to be a common denominator among people trying to lose weight. You're doing great. You're exercise plan for the week is inspiring me. That is the main area I need to improve!

Hope you're having a great day!

That kind of sucks. I actually look forward to fall/winter b/c I prefer working out/exercising in cooler weather. Yes, I said cooler. It does get cold in the winter, but it probably feels like your fall. Our weather is mild. But that said, our summer is horrible, so I can't go walking until 8 or 9 b/c it's so hot.

That does sound like a hard decision regarding your parents, but I can understand where you're coming from. I know we've talked a little in the past. Hopefully it will be a good one for you, or at least to separate yourself from the negativity. Drawing clear boundary lines and demanding healthy environments is good. Especially when you have 2 precious little ones.

For me summer is harder because I don't have as much structure and structure keeps me on top of my weight loss game!

I think I caught your cold. Ugh. I hope you're feeling better. I'm making progress...

Sometimes I hit a "burnout" space towards the end of summer [I'm in it right now, doing the best to push through it, but I'm eating too much refined crap.] I usually circle the wagons have a renewed commitment to healthier eating and exercising in the fall.

Hang in there!

Hi Connie -
What a hard decision but it sounds like a good one for you and your family. I also am not a cold weather working out kind of girl. It makes me sad because I am loving my trail so much. I think I am going to try to tough it out this winter. We shall see. I will probably end up on the couch with a bag of chips all winter.

Definitely cant have the toxic people in your life right now...it is so damaging.

I am the opposite of you in the weather. Right now everything for me has to be indoors and in about November I can get outside!

2009-08-19T12:19:28.802-06:00

Connie, give running in the winter a try. I know it is easy for me to say since I live in the deep south, but I actually enjoyed running in the cold. Something about that burning in your lungs that makes you feel like you are working hard!! I recommend getting a bondi band for your ears/hair though!

2009-08-19T11:14:19.983-06:00

Good for you that you're going to choose for yourself and your family!

Sorry that you've been sick but happy that you're feeling better now.

Usually I exercise less in the summer but this summer I kept on exercising which makes me very proud of myself. But I'll have to be strong when it's getting dark early and colder: the house is so warm and comfy then and going to gym is going to ask a lot of discipline for me.

Good for you, Connie! I think, especially once we...

2009-08-19T09:02:58.007-06:00

Good for you, Connie! I think, especially once we have children, that we do need to be a bit selfish. If that means eliminating the negative {people} from our life, then so be it. We have to do what's best for our families! That doesn't make it easy, though. I hope you are finding peace. It sounds like you are definitely moving forward.

Hope you feel better soon!
